Default First Kit Build:OMP EDGE 540.

Can't wait to fly this plane. Mocked it up to see what it looked like. still have to cover the bottom, Think it is going to be the 1/2 black &white checkerboard. putting a Super Tigre 51 with a 11x4 apc, was fun to build and learned a few things in the process.......

It was nice to see the sun for a change. Maybe we'll get lucky and get a day we can get out to the field before the year is up.

Flex....you did a great job for a first time. I would like to suggest that you put more stuff on the bottom of that wing tho....maybe a couple big blue stripes, running for to aft.
That way... it's so much easier to see..and that is real important!!!

Just a thought

This was my thought as well when looking at that white wing bottom. Up high with clouds that will be hard to discern but with the Edge 540 lettering, it will be better.

Congrats again Flexnbeef. One suggestion, run your fuel lines through the opening behind the engine....unless you have the engine all the way aft.

Thanks for the advice Mike .. This sure was a fun plane to build, hope to get to the field soon to maiden her but the conditions outside are not letting me... I will be looking foward to building another kit from OMP, I would love to get that huge Hybrid Edge.
