Status: offline 		well santa bought me a new plane this year. this is my first kit and so far i loven it. just as the title says it's ohio models planes 47" edge 540. i going to post some pic up later but, i have a few ??"s. i have 200 dollare for a engine and i been reading alot of poeple really like the o.s. 55 ax 2 stroke. i was looking around thogh and seen a o.s. fl 70 4 stroke with only a price diffrance of 30 dollars at that point who cares. i want to know which one will be better. i know the pro's and con of the 2v.s.4. next ? there is no wheel for the rear landing gear it just a tail slider. is it better to just put tail wheeel in or should i just stick with the wire.


i will post some pic up soon of the progress

Status: offline 		Go with the 55AX. I have both engines. The 70fl will not give you the performance you want and weighs more. Get the Tower Hobbies muffler for $14.99 for the 55AX and use the other $15 for some 12.25x3.75 APC props and enjoy it. The TH muffler will give you about 300 more rpm than the stock one! The 55AX is also much better on fuel consumption and makes more power. The 70fl is good for "sport" type planes, mine is in my H9 40 size Cub on floats and works fine, but it does not have the performance for a profile. Now, on the other hand, if you get the OS 70 Surpass, it would do outstanding in the profile. Don't confuse the two OS 70's though, they are not the same at all!

Status: offline 		Not mentioned, but a Webra 50 is also an excellent choice. It's a tad lighter than the 55 AX.

Stick with the wire. You turn more with the rudder anyway. Also, you won't be taxiing it that much as it'll want to just leap off of the ground.

Status: offline 		A pitts style muffler won't fit this application. You also won't need to beef up the plane, it's plenty strong as is.

Hey 150flyer, nice picture! I thought it was ironic you took the picture of the Edge hovering in the Heli1 area!
