Default G & L Hobbies Extra 300 build thread

Hey folks!! Got me a really neat kit from Greg Garrison @ G & L Hobbies. For all you old rc 'ers you may reconize this kit as It was formally kitted by RC City In Tullahoma, Tennessee. I bought one from Greg the other day and sometime this week I am going to go full blast on a build. I am posting some pics to show you all what this kit consist of. Fiberglass fusealage and cowel with pannel lines and rivet detail. The plane comes just under 1/4 scale which I think will lend real nice to the evolution 26 gas. That is the route I am going with this plane. The wings, horizontal stab, and rudder are all foam core and get this !!! All have a complete airfoil!!! Now how many planes this size do you run across that has a complete airfoil on all surfaces? Even the elevator surface is an airfoil!! Comes with a very nice canopy and landing gear with nicely done fiberglass wheelpants. A nice 3 page set of plans. This is going to be my first, but I am sure not my last kit of this type. For the last few years I have wanted to do a kit of this type but have awlays been reluctant to persue it because I was intimidated buy the build process and the size of their kits. Well Greg made a few up so I thought this would be a great start to do a build thread .I finaly got the nerve so lets take alook at the pictures.
