Default Re: Great Planes NEW 38% Extra

OK... 'nuff of the OOOO'ing and AWE'ing... lets Git'r'done!

If you open the instruction manual, it tells us to iron out all the wrinkles first. Well... there were no wrinkles! Really! (It actually took over a week and one flying session in the sun before any wrinkles appeared! And it only took 15 or 20 minutes to take care of those)

So, lets get started on the wings. How sweet... the ailerons are hinged and glue'd!!! Give'em a good tug to make sure the hinges are really secure...

Put some towels or other padding on your bench to lay the wings on. Grab your best X-Axcto with a #11 blade and trim the servo openings as shown in the manual. Leave about an 1/8" edge that you can iron down.
Notice the holes for the control horns are already drilled!

Might as well grab the Stabs and do those Servo Boxes as well.
