RE: Midwest Extra 300xs Build
Cool!!
I remember those days when I was building the plane. It was fun to imagine how the plane will be at the end.
Last weekend I maiden my MW extra300S again after last year crash. I crashed because I fogot to connect the ailerons after a short stop and go. My smoke system failed to work so I landed the plane quickly and removed the wing, fixed to smoke tank and attached the wing (without connecting the ailerons) and flew again without a pre-flight check.
In the air, whoow, into the trees and fell down 40 meters, ripped my tail completely and stripped my wingtip. And ofcourse all plastic parts were broken.
But now my I've got my extra up and running again and better then ever. Finally I've got the best stripescheme I have ever made.
And I installed a little down trim on my engine. It seems like really helping landing the plane. The first and last two landings this weekend were landings like the real one. I mean a touchdown with two wheels and a long after run.
And again I felt flying this plane almost better then ..... You know.
You better get it finished quickly. :-)
