 |  GP EXTRA 330L build "NON Pro Edition" - The continuation
Ok guys.... I lost some pictures due to a "delete happy " wife and Christmas pictures, which I guess in the long run having pictures of your kids opening presents could be considered a little more important than plane building pictures!! Any ways a photo recap and I'll move on. Basically I built the stabs to spec, and the elevators as well (I may add 1" to the Trailing edge to give me more surface. But I was looking at the MOD and it was scaring me a bit (limited skills) so I stuck to the plan. Then I started on the Rudder, HERE I did do a MOD, I moved the counter balance down 1 rib, to give it more of a counter balance. This I did by making a new rib, and adding it the area I was going to cut. Anyways.. I'll post the re-cap pictures, and try to stay focused on the rest of the build! For other novices... get the ZAP SLOW cure CA... this stuff has saved me BIGTIME. I was doing the rudder and was sheeting the second side... thought I was cool and was holding it in place... this is when I noticed that the whole rudder was crooked as hell... I had enough time to take the sheeting off with out ruining the whole rudder. I was able to straighten her out and BOY did I feel better!! But it that was just MED CA.. I have a feeling I would be doing a whole lot of hand cutting rudder parts!! Ok Picture re-cap and then more build over the next few weeks!
