Ijust picked up the 2x2 Extra and the workmanship is really nice. I am new to composite planes, I tried to dry fit this plane and noticed that my HORIZONTAL stabs are not flush, especially the port side one. There is a gap of about 1/16" (the leading and trailing edge) and I would like to know if its because of a mere dry fitting or there is something I need to do to make it flush. Any input would be great.
I think my plane will be coverted for EP. At about 13 lbs she is perfect for EP. Thanks guys!!!
I had the same sort of problem with the starboard side,a gap from the LE back, too arkward to sand, I applied release agent to the fuse, and applied a epoxy/micro balloons mix to the edge of the stab, fitted the stab on, wait for cure, remove and trim excess.
