F.Y.I. The A.M.A. archives plans and blueprints for hundreds if not thousands of planes. Guess what, they have the complete plans and drawings for my ACE 33% Extra! I just sent off for a copy. It cost me $28.00 + $8.00 S&H. My plan is to get the exact specs for the foam wing core from the plans and blueprints and send that info to The Corehouse or Pro1foam and have them cut me a wing to oem specs.

Default I am flying it now!! Love it!

Thanks to everyone for their input and suggestions. You all helped me to quickly determine what kind of plane this was. It is indeed a 33% Ace Extra 230. Through the AMA, I was able to order the archived plans and had a foam wing core cut for the missing left wing. I just finished building out and covering the left wing a few days ago. I included a picture to show you how it looks now, and another picture of the very first time it took to the skies with it's new wing. Thanks again to everyone who replied.
