I brought home and Extra 330L ARF from Joe Nall. I started working on it Sunday night (Got home Sunday Morning). Worked on it Monday night, Tuesday night, Thursday night and part of Friday night, had to take the wife out for dinner and a movie before she divorced me.
Saturday, Sunday and Monday I went flying and didn't have time to work on the plane.
Got back on it Tuesday night, Wednesday night, Thursday and tonight. All told I probably have 30 hours into it. I'm planning on a maiden flight on Sunday if the weather holds out.
Everything went together as designed. I checked the incidence and every thing was right on.
All that's left is the wheel pants and the canopy.
Here's some pics:

your a mad man Jim. I think we need to team you up with JeeUm and see how fast you guys could build one as a team, my bet would be about 2 or 3 hours.

I hate all you guys...
I get 2 hours a night at best....
MAN... your a quick builder.. and still married!
Dizzzammm.

yeah sleepy you have had yours for two weeks now, gosh!!

Jim
That was quick, by the way this is the 40% Extra.
Where do you plan to test fly it?

Yes this is the 40% extra. Took everything off of the one I lost at the Nall. So that helped.
I'm hoping to Maiden at Windingbrook. Even though we're getting rain today the river is still at a good level.
I got the Edge fixed too and I have a Warbird to Maiden as well. Should be fun!

Man Jim, that was fast! Hope we can get out tomorrow. Let me know if you are going. Looks good. I like the new scheme. Craig

Hey Craig,
Looks like it's gonna be real muddy tomorrow at the hill even if the rain stops. Probably have to go to a local field to fly one of my other birds. I got my Edge fixed so that will probably be the one.
Do you go fly during the week at all, maybe we can meet up later in the week after the mud subsides! LOL

Jim, I would love to try and sneak out this week. the Extra 260 is 99% done and I would love to get a test flight or two. We can touch base during the week. Good luck tomorrow wherever you go. Later, Craig

I think I will be at Woodstock with a shovel, a rake and a broom, you get the idea. Preparing for the district one giant scale event.

Elie, what time will you be there? I think jim is right about the hill being a mud pit. I will come up to woodstock and meet you there. I can also lend a hand for a little bit with the runway etc. mabey about an hour or so.

Bryan

Should be there by 10:00 AM, hope to do some flying to, I will bring your plane.

Woodstock tommorow??? Hmmm....

Tomorrow is the big Woodstock work party. I wouldn't plan on too much flying there. Elie, give me a call in the morning. MAYBE I'll see you......Later, Craig!

Elie
When is this giant scale event
