Actually, I was interested in the Edge. I just realized this thread was about the Extra. Duh...

Anyway, you're going to love that CAP. Lose the supplied rudder cables and use Dubro. Make sure you put the spacer between the wing roots when joining the wing. Get a new tail wheel assembly (the big Klett works great; if you can find one).

Give your tank/plumbing system some thought if you don't plan on using the supplied tank. It looked a bit cheesy to me, so it's now on my engine test stand...<G>

Oh yeah; the wheel pant mounting system bites big time and needs beefing up. You'll see what I mean when you get to it.

And if your conscious allows you to use that 2x4 they give you for an elevator pushrod, you're a better man than me. The good news is that pushrod is the same dimensions as the hardwood inside elevator frame piece; so it's a small matter to cut yourself an extension to glue in the area they want you to attach the elevator horns.

You've probably spotted all of this by now, and some things I missed. But while this is an overall great effort of an ARF, there are a few areas that could be improved upon.

I still can't believe they tell you to offset the elevator pushrod/servo...
