Default 40% 3W Extra 330

This is my new plane that I'm slowly working on. All the graphics are on, motor is mounted, everything is hinged and the gaps sealed and most of the servos are in with the exception of one wing panel. I've still got a ways to go but its coming along...maybe another month before its finished as long as work doesn't get in the way.

Yeah thanks...just hope the 157 runs good or I'll never hear the end of it. I fly DA as well but I thought it was a cool decal. You can have'em made to say whatever you want.

Hey Tom,

Yes, I did. I left the snorkel off and made shorter studs for the carb. Clears the cowl and with the canisters I shouldn't have to go hogging out the cowl.

I ordered the "rat" from the link below. They'll make them in any color, size and have it say whatever you want.

I think they are 6mm. I'll have to check and make sure though.

Are you sure they are 5mm? That would be the same exact size at your engine prop bolts if so. My 3w Extra's and Yak all had 6MM bolts that hold the wings on.
