Default Bought Batteries, Have Pics! My Edge..

OK Here are some pictures of my new 3D Foamy Edge.. If you look really close in the pic with my wife you can see the line where the left wingtip snapped off when my low voltage shutoff got me while in a DOD torque roll and I repaired it...

Sorry I botched up your logo a little Levi,,, but its pretty close for freehand...

Is your motor about to fall off, or is that built in right trust

Nice scheme. My is in dark grey Depron so painting it may be a bit trickier. I'll just use the dark color to my advantage.

You bet its right thust! Makes a difference too. I just put a 2-56 nut behind the motor mount and tightend it down to give a little right thrust. I think Levi has some information in his directions about using the material that his control horns are made out of to shim the motor mount for right thrust, I read it after I had already mounted the motor. .

By the way I weighed it yesterday and it came out at exactly 14.2 ounces.

Looks good! Right thrust helps get that prop wash to the other side of the rudder. Most noticable in hover and vertical climbs. Keep on flying! (Grab your video camere too )

I used the grey depron to my advantage. I got this from the young guns program from Levi! Its a cap 232 and it was all laser cut very good.

Nice looking planes guys.

I thought I'd add a few pics of my 3DFoamy Edge.

OH Man that is my favorite scheme, I saw it on a white Aeroworks plane a few weeks ago in a magazine.

I have seen Chip Hyde use it with a gold and sortof pinkish red color and another on a White Extra with red blue and grey..
That looks awesome![8D]
