I would assume it wouldnt cost much to make either

Nice work by the way

i have always wanted to make a once piece front end but i have no use for one. i dont go to the track too often. maybe i will give it a shot and see how it sells. i already have a mail order business so that part would be easy

there are a couple tricks that make it real easy. once you know, its nothing

Re: big fiberglass repair

I know some of the Red Bull Air Race pilots, like Nicolas Ivanoff, are flying the new Extra 300SR. Are there any plans to make a full production version or are they just going to keep it to 'one-offs' for VIPs

im not licensed to get paid to fly, nor do i have enough flight hours to be insurable to be paid to fly. i do taxi the planes around, do full power runups, and seat in brake pads.

anyway, they were planning to make a production race plane but their race planes are shitty. they just arent fast enough. i have yet to see an extra make it to the finals, or even the semi-finals if i remember correctly. the Extra's flying now are the 2nd attempt at a race plane. the first one made a great aerobatic plane but was slow. this one is faster but still slow.hopfully they will get their ---- together and make something nice. i wish i could talk Mike Goulian to let me make some fairings for his plane. i see lots of areas where i could make it faster. i dont see him enough to badger him about it though.

just figured i would add that we are the only place in this country to get Extras. other people sell them but they get them though us
