Default RE: GP Extra 300S resurrection

Doesn't time fly when you're helping other people to have fun! Two years since the last post and almost no progress with the extra. But dusted it off today and took out the sanding block and got ready for covering. A touch of filler and microballoons any starts to look (feel) great. Does anyone else stroke their planes to determine if they are ready for covering?

I made a cradle for the battery under the cockpit and a support for the receiver. I will need to neaten up the wires but you get the idea...

It feels great to be back at the building board after so long - but my wife is expecting our third child any day now so making hay while the sun shines.

Charging up the batteries of my 4 star as tomorrow looks set to be a perfect flying day in Cape Town. 1st time flying since October what with work, weather and breeding LOL.
