GP EXTRA 330L build "NON Pro Edition" - The continuation

[SleepyC]

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!

Thanks for tellin me earlier JIM! <------- Sarcasm.. Just incase you didn't notice!!

I have the pictures that were up before, I lost a bunch I never posted,
cause my wife (who I love EVER so much?!) didn't think I needed any of the one's in the camera.

Oh well... I can make more... This is just a test build to get me ready for the DALTON 260 35%...
I GOTTA HAVE ONE!!!
