Hi Everyone,
I maidened my Extra this week-end! Very nice, it flies very well!
Before flying this model I was flying a Calmato Sport; I was afraid flying such a plane immediatly after the Calmato would be a too high step, but actually, sure the Extra is much heavier, but the wing area is bigger so the wing load remains acceptable and the plane thus keeps acceptable reaction!
Unfortunately, I installed a OS 4-Stroke 91 Surpass and those of you who know this engine will know that the air input at carburator is upside-down... As the engine is mounted upside down in the plane, fuel enters the fuselage by the hole that is manufacture-made in the firewall... so I got aware of the fact that already at non-negligable quantity of fuel had entered the fuselage!!
As it is really not accessible by the fuselage inside, i have been obliged to open the top of the fuselage just behind the cowl, to dry inside and absorb fuel (thanks to talc)...
So i will have to re-shut the top, and stick oracover again...
And that is the subject of my message: Could someone tell me the exact reference of the blue Oracover (if it is oracover and not orastick) and red oracover used on this plane??
It would help me a lot, because I would like to order on the web without going to a shop and if I don't know the reference I will have to go all the same...
I thank you a lot in advance.

I used adhesive monokote trim sheets on mine to add some striping. It was a very close match. I looked on tower's site, and it seems that royal blue is the color of the sheet I used. The other blues are too far off. So in light of this I think royal blue monokote would work if you'd like to go that route. Link...........
