    Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.

    The span was around 100", I used a 3 view for the overall dimensions and designed it similar to a Hurley Extra. The wings and stab were foam rib design. Started life with a ZDZ 80J with a JMB can. After a few years put a D&B 85 twin in and proceeded to destroy it on the first flight of the...

    Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.

    My tail didn't look as good as the real one however. The radius porvides a very nice feature. Would be a pain to cover however.

    Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.

    Here are photos of an Extra 200 that I modeled some time ago. You can see the fairing provides a radius on the top of the stab that blends the vertical into the horizontal to center of the leading edge, the bottom appears to be sharp angle.

    That makes sense, get the sides pulled in evenly then add the gussets.

    Scale Need advice on trailing edge aileron & flap bow on BUSA 1/3 Super Cub

    OK I understand now. It's not flat. In the past I used ammonia the short side, weighted the bow just past flat and let it dry, might take a few tries,

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    Got the spines cut out and lighten for the stab, elevator and rudder. The overall weight reduction was 30%, got tired of cleaning out the hole saws! Used "Seetemp" for transferring the outlines to the lite ply. The resulting thickness will be 1/2" once the 3/16" spruce is glued on to each...

    Very nice. Do you plan to add the gussets at the joints show on the drawing?

    Can you sand it straight with a long sanding bar?

    For the wing tube, I really like the bolt in the tube, much easier to work.

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    These NOS Dubro J3 Cub wheels are going on the Champ. They are the correct diameter however the scale size is off, the Cub wheels are 8.00 x 4 while the Champ are 6.00 x 6. They still will look great. They are the old pneumatic style no longer in production.

    Thank you Jet. Trimmed the wide ends off of the trailing link tube. The plans show smashing the tube to form flat area for the upper joint, the tubing used didn't want to bend easily really was not sure the flatten area would match the lower bend so a trunnion use make just like main strut...

    Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.

    What kit is it? Bought a Great Planes 33% 330l kit this past October at a swap meet. It is laser cut and looks to interlock. The instruction manual has a 2000 copy right date. The fuselage has a nice form to it rather than the slab sided planes of today. Hope that is what you are building?

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    Made up a bender for the trailing link today from scrap metal. And it worked! The tube on the axle side was drilled with a F letter drill and 1/4" round bar was inserted into the tube before bending just in case any flattening occurred, but it did not. Just a few more steps and the landing...
