I have finished most of my CG Extra build. I am still waiting on the Fiberglass Specialties Cowl and wheel pants.
I really like this plane. It is my second build and hopefully will last me longer than my last. I tend to crash with less air time than I have time building.
I think that the build went very well with the exception of the landing gear mounting. I new from the start that I wouldn't use the stock wire gear. When everyone on here talked about the plane nosing over on the runway I decided to tilt the geat forward. I think that I went too far. I think they are ugly. Maybe the wheel pants will hide most of it. I am worried that at that angle they will be aero dynamic the wrong way.
I got a couple of runs on the engine yesterday and it ran very good but I did see alot of air in the fuel line. I first thought it was foam but when I tried to empty the tank it wouldn't pull anything but air and foam. I must have a air leak in the pick up tube above the fuel level.
I hope to maiden this saturday so I too pictures first.
