Status: offline 		Really? that would be an odd size,kinda big for nitro ,and kinda small for real gas,Maybe a 160 size brother to the 160 size Yak?
I am really liking this 88.5
Even with a new DA it seemed to have Foamy Pullout
I like what I see so far

Status: offline 		Nitro, the DA fiddy and pipe ought to be giving near 32-34 lbs of thrust on a 16 (16.75 lb mayby with fuel) airframe. You are approacing the 2 to 1 power curve. That is cool in my book!!

Now all I would like to see is the red, the blue and the red/blue scemes side by side to decide.

I am thinking DL-50 on Ecomposites tuned pipe with a single 2 cell A123 on flight and a single cell A123 on ignition. The Bisson type fiberglass spinner is a pain in the long run wit the 6 screws to set (I would like to find a light white...most likely glass spinner with that shape).

I have owned/flown (see my models) what may very well be a distant cousin of this plane with 85 inches and 16 lbs and I thought the design with enlarged flight controls was pretty cool and it did the most wicked KE spins. I can only imagine this one which is midwing (better)and the biggest plus for me is the pipe tunnel.

Guys I have the EF-88 Yak and love the sound and power of a piped engine. If the competetors were smart they might figure out the added marketability of pipe/canister accomodations.

Richard

Pilot and dash/panel as well as Depron cockpit floor are included, but not installed. We have opted to use this scheme vs. the blue/white as we were having trouble with orientation, especially on the back side of rolling circles.

Not bad at all, of course, change the blue to black and you've got the same scheme (almost) as the yak. I really like it and the multicolored scheme is totally awesome.

Getting there Chris - almost perfect.

The last upgrade missing would be a cowl with a inner ply ring that attaches to the firewall with 4 bolts - like the Aeroworks and PAU models.

Alignment to fuse is perfect every time and there is less wear on them holes in the FG cowl.

I had a little trouble with orientation with the 45" blue and white at first also.

Keep up the great work.

Totally agree. A cowl ring mounting system would be awesome!

Chris, what would the underside look like for the wing bottom? I really like the large rectangles like on the posted earlier in this thread (red and white underside)

Status: offline 		Great news, Chris. My old eyes are real happy with the blue and yellow scheme on the little Edge, but at this point I'll take whatever colors get here first. How about a recap of extra stuff we might need to finish these babies off, so we can have it in stock? ie. extensions,arms, tank, axles, wheels, etc. Thanks, T.

A tip from a pattern flyer on the coupler coming off of the carbon pipe. Clean the end where the coupler goes on with alcohal, lightly sand it, put 10 or 15 wraps of kevlar thread stacked on top of each other. Soak it with thin CA. It makes a nice barb that will keep the clamp from sliding off.


Thanks Michael. I'll be installing a cannister system soon & that will be very helpful.

Was the 4" arm straight or offset? Also, what length engine standoffs did you use? I'm hoping to get it to balance with my good ol' ks1060, What do you think? Thanks, T.

Flew it again tonight and all the problems have gone !!
Its absolutely awesome!
im going to get a video soon!

Carbon pipe is unreal, power is ballistic and the throttle response is there !

It did scare me once tonight, i had my regulator set at 4.8v, which is no where near enough, and i was doing fast snaps, and they kept getting slower every time, which really made things strange, so i landed, and realised i had forgot to put the reg to 6v !
ha!

Pics will be up in a few minutes.
