Hi guys,

ive purchased a Hanger 9 edge 540 second hand, can someone tell me what the C of G should be? or as a start?

thanks,

Di n Dave....

6 to 6 3/4" from the leading edge at the tip, but since it's a straight leading edge...

Now that's assuming it's the 33%?

Why don't you just download the manual?

If it's not the 33%, the manuals for all the others are also available on Horizon's website.

Dave,

Sorry about that link as I just provided it to show you that it was available for the 33%. Since I saw several Edges listed, I thought if it wasn't the 33% you could just find yours.

But in checking Horizons website, it appears the model you have is no longer available so there won't be a manual...[]

There is a formula for figuring where the CG is/or should be, but basically it's usually at the center of lift. I don't have a link to a post with that, but try a few searches for that information and see if you can't find it.


edit info:

Aha!

It's not one of the threads I was thinking about, but I did find what appears to be a nifty CG locator on a link posted in another forum here. I've not tried it, but it looks like the real deal...

According to the manual the 78" H9 Edge has the following balance point, 4-1/2 - 5-1/4" from the leading edge of the wing at the fuse.

Here's the throws if you need them,


Low Rates 3D Rates
Aileron 3/8th up 9/16 down 1-5/16th up 1-1/16th down

Elevator 9/16th up 9/16th down 3" up 3" down

Rudder 3-1/4" right 3-1/4" left 4-1/4" right 4-1/4" left


Mine has a Moki 2.10 Ballistic!!
I would warn you to stay forward for the first flights, it's a great airplane, and don't fold the wings on the downline. These were prone to wing failure.

Mike,
Yes, I did forget that. Are you still flying your Edge?

Your memory is obviously failing you, I wrote it off when my radio decided to stop transmitting, bad aerial connection due to corrosion inside the Tx case.

EDIT: Don't ask me why it came out that size, I have no idea.[sm=confused.gif]

Mike,
Your right my memory is gone, it's an age thing.

I remember it now that you showed me a picture.

That's a shame, it's a really nice flying plane once you get used to it.
