RE: Pacific Aeromodels Edge 540T 40/70

Well that post seems to have shut this thread down.
Abuanas' comment may well help people who are thinking of dealing with Modellex. Not everybody lives in the states.

RE: Can a GWS Corsair knife edge??

Oh yes, one thing that helped a bit w/ the lack of coupling in KE is that I always flew sans gear.

RE: Can a GWS Corsair knife edge??

I can't say I started w/ plenty of speed, as I didn't start from a decent, but I was most certainly WOT. To be honest I never checked the GWS throw recs but my rudder was set as far as she could go....

RE: Can a GWS Corsair knife edge??

Yes it will. It's the plane I learned to KE on. It was also my first low wing and I loved it! Cut my teeth on it. With a Himaxx 2812 I couldn't keep it level in KE, dropped about 10 feet over a 100...

RE: Pacific Aeromodels Edge 540T 40/70

Thanks JDBuddy. That is a great link. Especially for a glow newbie like me. The owner of the lhs told me the new 100 has the same weight and footprint as the 82. I will certainly look into it further...

RE: Pacific Aeromodels Edge 540T 40/70

That is a good question.

Apparently the Saito 100 is has the same footprint as the .82 and is the same weight. Seems well worth twenty bucks more to me. More power at lower throttle. Sounds good...

Flying Tiger,

Yes, this will be my first glow. I will go with the Saito 82 and be sure to reread this thread before I build the Edge. Have two other planes I need to finish first (a 2-1/2lb....

Straight wing on the Edge

I'm eagerly awaiting E-flite's Edge this summer but am wondering about the stall characteristics of the taperless leading edge of the wing. I have experience on a Modeltech Extra and a Mini Funtana...

RE: Best Setup for Stenvensaero Cap232.40

Falling - You might want to go with the heavier set up. At 48 oz. auw the wing loading is only 12.5 oz/sq. ft. This kit is light!

RE: Best Setup for Stenvensaero Cap232.40

Have you seen the video of this airplane at Stevens Aero? They strongly recommend using a 2820/10. Seems to be plenty of motor if you keep the build light. I have the 2820/10 in a converted...

RE: SA Cap 232 40e

I just ordered one yesterday. Great video of it at Stevens Aero. Pretty light wingloading for a plane that big. Looks like she'll be staying home if there's much wind but othewise looks fantastic.
