Krill Extra 330 LX building thread

[TazmanianDevil]

I just love all SmartFly products. I think that they are very innovative simple to use and stand to our standard as giant scale aerobatic pilots.
I use them on all my 3 planes.
On both my Krill SU 29 there is a space where I can hang the power expander on 4 bungees here I have a plate so I thought about building 4 torrents strath between them a big rubber band with Velcro sewed to it and on top of all that the power expender will lay not before I will tight it all with a parecord.
Now it's floating and the vibes won't harm the PE.

Just ordered an Ignition Cut off for the engine as well.

Did the wings. The same method like the stabs.
The only difference is that you have 2 servo in each wing.
I did the push rods my self.
So the inner one is 1.75" the outer one is 1.5".
I used Taildragerrc.com for the extensions and the MPX plugs very nice stuff they have with good quality extensions and plugs.
The hatches will be closed with a clear tape to reduce the weight and make the things simple.
Savox 2270 1.5" arms.

Tail time.
Today I've worked on the tail, stabs are done.
Did the holes with the grummets for the plugs and extensions.
Then I glued the fuzz protection from NormanAir.
It's a very handy thing when you're flying composite planes. Not like Wooden planes the tail vibrate and the stabs literally scratch the fuse not to mention that over time they get loos so you must put a soft standoff to give the stabs horizontal tension plus when they vibrate they won't harm the fuse.
The same with the wings.

Here are the stabs attached to the fuse.
I didn't drill the second hole only when I glued the stand offs and applied some force to squeeze the fabric so it will make the stabs tight and secure.
Used an M4 screws on both sides.

I beveled the tip of the fuse where the rudder is so it will give me a smooth line with the fuse and rudder surfaces.
I used some CA to seal the beveled aria .

Thanks for posting that, it gives me some great ideas for fixing a slightly sloppy stab on my Carf Extra.

Did the electronics and the fuel tanks.
I know it's not furetitude but I've ordered the V2 so till they'll come I'm going to use these.
The extensions for the Ele are 59".
Attached them with Velcro, it's handy and it's very easy to install and take off when needed.
Like I've said no switches at all.
For the ignition I've ordered the ignition cut off from SF.
I love it to be plain and simple.
