Re: Comp ARF 2.6 Extra 300SX-Build
Comp Arf Canopys certainly are a challenge....Looks like yours turned out well.
I was originally going to run a SWB system on my rudder but it was going to put my CG to far aft and I did'nt want the extra weight. Interested to see how yours turns out. You kinda lost me on the "Roll the Cowling (its a hole out)" comment....Did it get mis-located some how? lookin' good so far! |

Re: Comp ARF 2.6 Extra 300SX-Build
When I put the cowling on the constructions say to level the plane then level the front of the cowling, this is what I did, even though the lines didnt match, then I installed the engine and noticed that the spinner wasnt lining up with the nose of cowling, so I rolled the cowling and matched the lines up (paint scheme) and low and behold it was perfect. So can order a cowling or redrill the holes. I dont want to that but if the washers will cover it then it should be ok.

Re: Comp ARF 2.6 Extra 300SX-Build
you should have used rit dye before installing the canopy into the frame,
rit dye works pretty good and can be done in any color rit puts out. |

Re: Comp ARF 2.6 Extra 300SX-Build
I think when you fill the tank your going to be nose heavy, other than that it looks very clean

Re: Comp ARF 2.6 Extra 300SX-Build
Yea I agree, I moved it up by the other one, My rep told me if it catches on fire when I'm flying it, then it was to close to the cans.........haha...hehe...very funny

Re: Comp ARF 2.6 Extra 300SX-Build
Looks great Tex! Will you be adding the recommended Elevator Balance Tab Weights?
The reason I ask, looking at the component placement....this plane already looks tailheavy. |
