Default Build- Extra 330L .50size(1430mm) from CMPro

Check it out fellows!!!
Just in, hot off the boat, The Extra 330L from CMPro. 1430mm wing span, Fiber glass fuse, built up wings. All decals pre-applied and clear coated. Painted fiberglass landing gear, cowl, and pants. A fiberglass elevator rod is also incl.. Excellent! The amount of packaging they used didn't save any rainforests that's for sure. Very extensive to say the least.
I'll have to make a few minor changes to the model but basically it'll be built stock.
Take-off weight is actually a bit too muchat 3000gr. or 6.6 lb. but I just like the way it looks. It is also avail. in the blue scheme.
More later.

Default RE: Build- Extra 330L .50size(1430mm) from CMPro

Well, it's coming along slowly. I have both ailerons mounted. The covering has been removed from the servo bay and the aileron servos are mounted onto the covers. I'm still wondering if I should strengthen the fiberglass fuse on the inside, in the landing gear area or not??? I thought about using 4mm plastic screws instead of strenghtening to save weight, from not strengthening, and in hopes that the scews would just shear off in the event of a hard landing and I'd slide along the grass. I also had the YAK 54 1430mm .50 (also from CMPro) Fiberglass model and the main landing was twisted back and broke the fuse on a very normal landing. It was also strenghthened from factory with wood on the inside. The problem was the width of the strengthening. It was only about 30mm or 2 inches wide and on the mentioned landing gone bad a strip of fibergllass 30mm wide was pulled off my fuse with the landing gear A friend of mine was of the opinion that and even if I strengthened the fuse that it would just brake somewhere else.
