Default OVERHAULIN' - FG STYLE: Comp-Arf 2.3m Extra

I've decided to overhaul my 5 yr old Comp-Arf 2.3m Extra 330L. This is more than a build thread, it's a "rebuild" thread.

I'll be taking you through my steps of stripping down an existing composite plane with over 200 flights on it and upgrading/re-installing/rearranging basically everything. Even new paint!

My goal is to have it complete for Joe Nall 2010.

Stay tuned. More to come!

Awesome! I'm doing the same thing right now to a 2.6m 330S, but am keeping the fantasy scheme.

Sweet. I just picked up a 2.6m 330 in the Schulman Scheme I need to redo.

Are you missing a '0'? 200 flights isn't nearly long enough to have to redo an airplane.
