Re: Great Planes Extra 300s 60-90
I'm sorry its been so long since I posted an update, but I have been working a lil bit every nite and I like the way its going together...
started the fuse, vertical stab and rudder, and now the horizontal stab and elevators There is lots of sanding that I cant do inside the basement, so I will have to go out to the garage..

Re: Great Planes Extra 300s 60-90
I am currently building the GP 300s also. I have an OS 91 surpass I'm going to use. Wrestling right now with how to route the muffler out of the cowl. The stock header is too short to make the muffler exit out the bottom, thinking about using a flexible header on the muffler, not sure if it will be rigid enough though. Anybody have any ideas or experience with this type of setup?

Re: Great Planes Extra 300s 60-90
That set up should work fine, sorry I can't help with exhaust routing
My build has been put on hold as my garage/workshop is full of boxes of deck furniture my wife bought when Wally-Mart had their sales on. I just finished the deck this week so now I can move her sh$t out of my workspace and continue MY projects

Re: Great Planes Extra 300s 60-90
I was at the local Hobby Shop on the weekend and enquired if they might have a pitts style muffler to fit an OS 91 surpass. As luck would have it they did, so I bought it and it works good. Had to cut a bit more of the cowling away below the cylinder head to clear the muffler. Makes a nice clean muffler installation.

Re: Great Planes Extra 300s 60-90
Hey Marcco I have a DLE 20c.c. , you sure that airframe will hold together? I toasted my Aeroworks Extra .60 size and am pondering building the one you have. The other one is overpriced and the kits do not come with the decals they show, was very disapointed in it. Your building fast let us know when your engine arrives to test fit?

Re: Great Planes Extra 300s 60-90
Looks like this is going to be a big club.
I've recently bought one of these kits too and intend to install an Aerovate 20cc in it. Engine vibe is a possible concern for me as well. Keep us up to date

Re: Great Planes Extra 300s 60-90
I have a problem with the fit of the "20"
I want to use the rubber bushing mounts but it aint gonna work without some mods. I could make another firewall to mount the engine to, then mount that to the plane's firewall? the Great Planes one isnt wide enough to work..

Re: Great Planes Extra 300s 60-90
Actually if it's the .60-1.20 size mount it will work , you just have to dremel that l\g mount hole off the back just behind the carb and it will fit nicely. I have looked very hard at this model and I believe you now have the correct engine for it.
