I was doing a lot of down on the deck stuff with mine before it got a little too down. That was my fault. The palne is absolutely predictable in any attitude and responds instantly and positively to control inputs. had it not been for the Version II of the Edge I would have never gotten down to where I could make the dirt move. You get extremely comfortable with the plane very quickly. If you have a solid engine you have a bullet proof combination.

I trashed my V-II but liked it so much I got another. It's the favorite plane in my hanger right now and unless the 2.6 Yak is a super performer it will probably remain the favorite.

Bless him but I can't remember his name. Those were incorporated in the new version to one degree or another and it truly made the plane soooo much sweeter to fly.

Hey what's the weight difference beatween the Slimline Pitts muffler and one of th ecanister some are using on the DA-50??? does anyone knows???

I got a Slimline Pitts on mine but I was thinking I may want to do this one with a Canister,,,not becasue of the power but the sound!!!

Well that one you are talking about is for the Stab,,the one for the Wings are 36'' and 1/32,, the old Wing tube I got it's 36'' even that's 3ft.

Status: online 		Keep it centered and it should be OK. With built-up wings the wing tube socket is supported better than with foam wings.

Your idea of extensions on each end to keep it centered is a good one.

Status: offline 		My mistake, for some reason I was thinking stab tube. I also got the 36" and replaced both but used the wing stab tube as it is. I just centered it up and haven't had a problem with it. It fits really snug (not tight) in the socket. I'm sure it moves inside but it hasn't affected anything. This plane has really strong wings. If you read back through the thread I believe someone else did the same. My stock tube was 37 3/8" so the difference is negligable IMO.
