Hey, I used the hostess donettes to mark the zeros I got on my imac scorecards too! My problem was, one bag wasn't ever enough.

Haha

Yeah, @JBenson said if I flew IMAC I'd get beat by 12 year olds. So, I'm over it. haha

I was wondering who'd spot the donuts first... figures it would be you! hehe Just out of frame are also pretzels. haha

I mounted up the SmartFly EQ-10... and installed the elevator servo extension tube.

I mod'd the rudder tray and covered it. I also covered a little of the pipe tunnel.

I mounted up the stock tailwheel and the main gear. The stock axles are good, but I swapped out to DUBRO and swapped out the set screws in the DUBRO collars to a more robust socket head screw. I used DUBRO 4.5" TL tires instead of the stock tires. And, I set the firewall in place and mounted up the motor.

I think I could have been done with the plane tonight, but I spent most of the afternoon sanding wingtube tubes... sure wish they'd do that in China. New record for me... I'll basically have only taken one week to assemble this latest 122" Extra. I'll drop back and re-hinge it later, as these hinges will fail like they did on the last 122" Extra. If they'd fix the servo locations, control horn locations, hinges, have the wingtubes fitting right, and factory install an extension tube down the fuse... these things would be pretty easy to assemble.
