Status: offline 		I have been pondering this plane and have gone back and forth but I do like the plane a lot and I think I am going to order it and put a Moki 2.10 or a saito 1.8 in it. We will see but I need to get rid of some of the stuff I have before I buy more. I am sure most of you understand that lol.

Thanks

Bryan

Status: offline 		I fly my CG Edge 77 very often and it's a real treat. It feels light and super agile in 3d. The kit is really well built and about the only complaint I have is the quality of the covering. Regrettably Goldberg has not used Monokote and it shows. The covering keeps coming off and not just on the wing's leading edge but now even around the turtle deck area. But I tolerate that since the bird really gives plenty of joy. If you are willing to look after the covering every few flights, this is the plane. The DL 50 is more than enough for true unlimited performance.

Status: offline 		I also have had covering problems in the same spots. I orderd a new Edge it should be here today. My son purchased a 50cc for me to put on this plane. This 50cc is a HH engine, I know nothing of this engine manufacturer, but I am a certified small engine technician and see no reason I should not be able to make this little engine run good.This engine came with muffler, electronic ignition, and standoffs.
I was running a Zenoah 38cc in this Edge and am looking forward to a little bigger engine, not sure if it will do unlimited 3d, but I am hopefull for some good power with a 20 or 22 inch prop.

Status: offline 		One servo per-wing. I have heard of this but never tried this. Should I put them in the out board or in-board position? This would be really great if I could do this.
I am using futaba 3305 servo's, they are not the fastest but I believe they are powerful enough.
any info on all this would be greatly appreciated.

Status: offline 		I'm using HS645 servos on wings. They are strong analog servos that have not given me any trouble so far. I decided to place just one servo per wing and I[image][/image] chose the outboard position. It seemed to me that the force applied to the aileron is better exerted from midpoint. This configuration has over 300 flights and never showed signs of flutter. I also covered the hinge line with heavy duty packing tape.

Status: offline 		As of right now I do not have this plane, mine was totalled and the wing tube was cut in half, I only found half of it, I did reorder this plane but it arrived damaged and had to be sent back, I am in the process of waiting for the new one to arrive. As soon as I receive this plane I will send you the mesurments.

If you find a wing tube, let us know.
