How should I fix those strange control horns to mobile surfaces?

Thanks

Can you tell us the stock numbers of the Ultracote colors used on the Edge 540?

What do you think of a saito 72 on the edge. I am really interested in learning some 3d and think this plane is my ticket.

The OS 70 is a perfect fit on the Edge. Mine hovers at half throtle with no problem, but I am partial to OS over the Saito.

I originally bought a Saito .72 for the Edge and then saw that the new Saito .82 was only about $30 more, so I exchanged it. The .82 is the same size, physically, as the .72 but is supposed to put out 30% more power. Although I haven't had a chance to fly my Edge with the .82, I have no doubt that it will be more than enough power. I would say that, if you are considering the Saito .72, you may want to look at the .82.

I already have 2 of them and im looking for a plane for one of them. One is in use on my ultra stick and plenty of power to hover it. Im just not that good.

Status: offline 		Hi folks,
I maidened my 540 v3 this afternoon. Everything went perfectly. I'm using an O.S. 55AX with an APC 13x4W prop. Peak rpm is 10900, richened up to 10500. The motor doesn't spool up instantly like it would with a smaller wood prop but man, talk about rock steady idle at 1900 rpm and unlimited vertical. The plane weighed in at 5lbs 2oz wet and balanced at 4 3/4". JR 537s all around with the medium Dubro arms. Hitec HS-85MG on the throttle, but I'll change it out for a HS-81MG for a little better throttle response. I sure wish there was a wood version of the 13x4W prop. That would definately be a good setup for this motor.

Do you know what size prop he is using on the .82?
