Default RE: GB Extra 300

Thanks ,I will prolly never hear how it does fly unfortunately, since its a give away plane at a funfly coming up this memorial day.
I really got rushed for time on this plane, like I said earlier I had one already built and ready but a fellow flyer thought he needed it more than I did.
So I have had to cram alot of info in a short build here and hope its all understandable.


I did get the cowling cut out and glued together , filled, sanded, then filler primed. As soon as I can I'll be finish sanding that and getting some colors on it. Again multi colored cowlings are a PITA but we'll get it.
I have to admit this cowling is the thinest ABS I have seen in one of these kits, just the front part, the sides are ok.
Before I put any color on this cowling I think i'll add the glass cloth to the insides, just in case.
I'll use automotive paints for color then clear coat to finish off the cowl and pants . That leaves a very nice finish and shine plus makes things fuelproof.
I didn't mention it but I went with the stock tailwheel. They can upgrade it if they want to.
