Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.

Just curious, how often do people actually remove removable horizontal stabilizers??

Hah! That's funny, I don't like removing the wings so am I going to remove the stabs, never!

Thanks for all the replies on all the planes that I do have I only remove stabilizers when I need to do maintenance or fix something. It just a hole lot easier to take it down to the basement, but other than that they never come off. It is something I should keep in mind while building the plane

What does the full scale plane have there?

I am not that knowledgeable on scale Extra’s I am sure there are a number of GSN members that do. Will see if I can find some full size pictures.

Couldn’t really tell from all the photos, so I looked through one of Extra’s maintenance manuals and found the image below. Hope that helps.

I take the stabs off my 35% Extra to make it easier to get in and out of the house and easier to store.
All my other planes stay on.

I think I will make them removable getting a 120/100 cc plane in and out of the house basement could prove to be difficult and hanger rash.

Got started on making two new S1 ribs for the stabilizers. Made drawing and glued two pieces of 3mm 5 ply plywood together. Wait for the glue to dry and then do some cutting and shaping. Once that is done I can continue to build the stabilizers.

You are correct went through a bunch of photos of full-size Extra,s but could not tell from the pictures. But if I had to guess it looks like a sharp corner.

Here are a couple of real 330L pics. Looks as if the stab "butts" up against the side of the fuse where the fuse side is starting to "round" at the top. Also looks as if there is a "former/cover" that streamlines the compound surfaces of both horiz / vert stabs.

Have to agree with you. Did you notice the second picture you posted is the same picture as on the box.
