12-26-11 Extra 330 #1 Covering ---- fuselage sides (page 10)
-------------------------------------------------------((( still adding picture above and below this line )))-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stupid Wood filler that I used on the hatch/canopy to feather in the canopy melts when I go
to put the covering on..... In a couple of pics below you can see the melted wood filler stuck to a
piece of monokote...this is NOT ACCEPTABLE at all.... already wasted 1 piece of moneykote on
this hatch, and it wasn't because of my abilities! Damn wood filler!
ok, after about 1 hour of grinding the stupid wood filler off,
I'm now using a different type of filler that I KNOW WILL NOT MELT!
(If this doesn't work, I'll grind it off again, and use Bondo... screw it......)

Now to add a few personal touches: (hand-cut style)
5-06-12 ==> Maiden flying day of the freshly recovered Extra 330! All went well and she flies great!
Plane is 3 lbs lighter with the new battery setups and I now have digital MKS-DS 1210 servos on the elevators...
What a difference! Sure beats the old TowerPro 995MG servos that were on the elevators!
