RE: Ace Extra 230 33% Fiberglass
SticknRudder, I've been following your build and have to say that you're doing a great job. It sounds like your kit was pretty messed up right from the start but you've done some fantastic work to correct the issues.
I'm just about ready to start the build on this same kit, this will be my first build for anything larger than a 40 size plane so all of the pictures you've posted have been a huge help. I checked everything for the problems that you had and I'm glad to say that I don't have any of the same issues however I did find today that all of the lite ply fuse formers are pretty badly warped so I'm a little concerned about getting the fuse built square with warped formers. I also noticed that the engine box sides are to tall to fit through the hole in the F1 former and I didn't see any info in the very minimal manual about how to assemble and keep everything square on the engine box using butt joints on everything so I'm thinking your tongue and groove method may be in my future.
