IanB -> First flight 35% Carden Edge (11/4/2003 4:29 PM)
|
What a fantastic aircraft
DA100 on regular mufflers
Multiplex radio and servos
Hitech 5925 servos on elevator
SM services opto isolator
Air Models 25x12 3 blader turning 6400 on new motor with 40:1 lawnboy
Balanced at the middle of the cg range by moving the batteries
1 click of right aileron, 2 clicks of up.........(this is almost nothing as i have the trim set to a VERY small percentage of travel in the Tx)
Vertical on a totally new engine is amazing........I honestly think a lot of the guys out there are overpropping........WAY better than my last edge weighing 24lbs with a different engine!
Inverted needs a very slight push......I will experiment with the c of g a little
Pulls a hair to the canopy on power off downlines so slight that I may not even mix it out!
ABSOLUTELY NO MIXING on the left wingtip and NO ROLL AND 3% UP ON THE RIGHT
It doesnt wander it sits on a line better than anything else Ive flown apart from MAYBE a 2m pattern plane.
The plane harriers with almost zero wingrock.......I didnt even correct it I just watched it slowly descend..............TOOK weeks of learning to battle the wingrock with my old Edge.
The DA100 and the Carden 35% edge are a FANTASTIC combo.............i dont even know what the plane weighs........i would guess around 27 lbs (and frankly I dont CARE)..........built TOTALLY stock with ONE receiver and ONE rudder servo. I actually think the extra weight helps with snaps because this thing snaps so well, again WAY better than the lighter plane.
VERY happy man...IanB
