Default my new bird

Maybe we should play a game, name this kit. Concidering that some on this forum were in grade school when this kit was last produced it might not work so well.

What we have here is a 37.5% extra 330 kit from Aeroworks. It was the last revision, and Rocco's very last kit and I talked him out of it. Or maybe he was glad to get rid of it, either way it turned out to be a very nice plane.

Thank you to Jerry Worth for always doing such a great job building, and taking pictures. Jerry and I have done many projects together, and is a master builder.

Very , very nice lookin' bird! Whats the wingspan....and AUW with everything installed? I know it'll probably come in a little heavier than the newer birds out there , but just the same , it would be cool to know. I have always dug that scheme....very sharp looking.

Default Re: my new bird

I have not picked up the plane yet, so I can not give you the weight. But with the 170 in the nose who cares!!! I think the wing span is around 118" but I am not sure. Rocco told me he had this kit laying around for about seven years. Jerry Worth did everything possible to take any extra weight out, so at this point is just the hardware, wood, glue, foam, glass, and canopy. I will keep you posted if you want. I am planning on picking up the plane next weekend.

no not positive, Rocco told me it was a 330L, but come to think of it was that plane even out eight years ago. Who knows, I have always wanted one of those QQ TOC extras.
