The box contains the depron foam fuselage halves, two wing halves and the tail feathers.  There is also a large sheet of vinyl graphics which look exceptionally nice!  There are also packages containing various things such as wheels, landing gear, pushrods and much more.  Also, there is a CD with building instructions and tips to make this build a breeze.
Here you see the quality of the CNC carved fuselage halves, with the carbon spar in place and the laminated spar curing.  The quality of this kit is exceptional!
I've glued in the two fuselage spars and applied foam- safe CA to the fuselage and put them together.  I am using whatever I had laying around to weight the two halves together while the glue sets.
The landing gear block consists of five light plywood pieces laser-cut.  All the needs to be done here is to laminate them together.  Here you see that I am using a spring clamp to hold in place until the glue dries.
The gear block fits perfectly in the opening in the fuselage.  There was a little bit of sanding to make the wood block the same thickness as the fuselage, but not much.
Here I am gluing the gear laser-cut reinforcement plastic on.  This helps to tie the wood mount to the rest of the fuselage.
Here I’ve attached the same reinforcement plastic around the firewall area and the nose of the plane for added support.  I have added the firewall and to the left you can see the two triangle stock pieces waiting to be glued in behind the firewall.
Here's the completed fuselage!
I chose to round the top and bottom edges of my Extra 300 fuselage to make for a more streamline look.
