Default RE: Extra Extra V2 - Build thread

Next you can either start the wing or control surfaces. I did the control surfaces and then the wing. This process is really simple as all sticks and cross members are precut for you. Just put them on the plans and thin CA them together. All tail surfaces and ailerons are CNC cut due to their being 3/8" thick. Btw, the leading edge on the tail was just broken and not fully rounded. There was no noticeable difference over the prototype plane so rounding it fully is at the builders discretion. This part of the build goes very fast since you don't have to cut many sticks (just the tri-stock for the hinge lines). Using Rumple Wrap here is awesome to protect the plans plus the parts come right off of it when glued!
