Also, I moved the hinge line on the horizontal stab foward, to increase the elevator size. Outside of that, its just like any other build.
Hi, I started a GP Extra 330L too and it will be my second giant... I lost last week my h9 extra 330L 33%...

Rob, I noted that the elevator size is not so big too. How much did you increase the elevator?
