    3DHS 103" Extra 330SC Re-Build Log

    Well, I got to other side of the landing gear block finished last night and re-glued a few other spot in the fuse while I was at it. I will be double checking all of the joints and then adding the missing stringers and sheeting that had to be removed for the repairs or was tore up during the...

    Let's talk about Avgas (100LL)

    I haven't ran the 100LL, but was thinking about it until I talked to DA and Geahart at Aircraft International, 3W rep. Both companies said that the LL would leave deposits in the engines and could possibly void the warranty should they fail. This was from 2 completely different companies with no...

    Let's talk about Avgas (100LL)

    @BikeRacer just switch to 91 no lead, no ethanol and you will likely see a reduction in temp and a smoother idling engine. It does cost a few more cents per gallon, but it will be well worth the piece of mind when the temps stay down

    Let's talk about Avgas (100LL)

    3DHS 103" Extra 330SC Re-Build Log

    I agree. The only downfall is I am so busy that it takes longer than it should most of the time I umpire softball 3 nights a week, have to fund the hobby, so unless I get rained out one night I only get one or two nights to work on the plane. I know I will have to replace rudder hinges as one...

    3DHS 103" Extra 330SC Re-Build Log

    Here is one side of the landing gear repaired. I found out that the newer model engine box kits are more structurally sound than the original. This is why there is fiberglass over the top of the piece I replaced

    3DHS 103" Extra 330SC Re-Build Log

    I acquired this plane for a very reasonable price because it is in need of some tlc and some light ply, balsa and covering I don't have pictures before I stripped most of the covering from the fuselage, sorry.
