I am very glad to see this thread pop back up. I tried a search and did not find it. I started a CG Extra 300 about a month ago. I just started covering the wing last night but have alot of work left on the fuse. I plan on finishing all hardware on the fuse and weighing before disassembling and covering. I am using a OS1.20 2s as I was told that was the ticket for this plan. Probably because it runs at such a low RPM complared to the 90 2s. I guess it runs more like a four stroke but much less weight.
I am glad to read that this thing will nose over as I had a plane before that would do that and that has got to be fixed. I haven't mounted the LG yet so it gives me the opportunity to move a little forward or angle. I had already used a solid block for the gear and bought Dubro fiberglass gear.
I am still undicided about mounting the elevator servo (s) in the tail. I don't like the setup on the plans and I may need the weight in the tail. Any suggestions? I liked the picture of two servos on either side of the Pull/Pull and may use something like that. I will completely assemble the plane before covering and if the weight is needed I will install in the tail although I don't like the looks. Thanks for the suggestion on the larger tank as all I could find was a long tank at 12 oz.
I had wanted to tint the canopy so I may try the clothing die unless someone else has a better Idea. I had considered complete black-out but to fly IMAC you need a pilot and if blacked out you wouldn't be able to see him.
Thanks all,
Mark
