Chapter 9
Final Inspection and Pre-Flight
Welcome to the final chapter prior to your maiden flight! We hope you have enjoyed
building your Extra.
Let’s go over the airframe and perform a pre-flight to make sure everything is in order.
Inspect the airframe for any visible damage and loose covering that may have
occurred during the build.
Inspect the main landing gear and tail wheel assembly. Ensure all mounting
hardware and collars are fastened properly.
Inspect your motor installation and cowl. Check the motor for possible contact with
cowl. Check propeller and spinner to ensure they are both secure.
Inspect the inside of the fuselage to ensure your battery, receiver and wing bolts are
secured.
Inspect all control surfaces and control surface hardware. Gently tug on each surface
to make sure the hinges are properly bonded.
