RE: 1.20 Edge Review, the beginnings

I'd like to put a 3W 28 in one. I'd say go for it and let us know.

RE: 1.20 Edge Review, the beginnings

I was probably getting close to those numbers with an 18x6 Menz so in your thicker air, you should have great power. I warped the wing tube doing those knife edge spins. So, if you are planning on...

RE: 1.20 Edge Review, the beginnings

I had a OS 160FX in mine and it had enough power here at 5000 ft. You should have no problems in NJ and if you need more power, you could put 30% Heli fuel in it.

RE: 1.20 Edge Review, the beginnings

The only reason why I bought a CF wing tube for my 120 Edge was because I warped the original doing knife edge spins...[sm=biggrin.gif]

RE: 1.20 Edge Review, the beginnings

Hey Tom, how about another 120 size plane? You could look into scaling down your 35% Extra or even do a Sukhoi.

RE: 1.20 Edge Review, the beginnings

It happens, but think of it this way, it has the flexibility that your 28% planes have. Sure they're designed around a 2 stroke engine and mine flew great with the OS 160. I wish I still had it...

RE: 1.20 Edge Review, the beginnings

I've been doing some thinking and a ZDZ 40 would be awesome in this plane. It only weighs a little more than the Brison, but puts out almost 26 lbs. of thrust. When's the next shipment of 120...

RE: 1.20 Edge Review, the beginnings

I use a MenzS 18x6. Desert Aircraft sells them. You could also use a Mejzlik 18x8, but they're a little pricey.

RE: 1.20 Edge Review, the beginnings

I beleive you just drill and tap a hole in the backplate and run the tubing from the nipple to the pump. I've also seen where you can drill out one of the backplate holes for the screw, get a...

RE: 1.20 Edge Review, the beginnings

If you got it, use it. Should produce enough power. Might want to look into mounting the rudder servo in the tail with the engine weight is the only thing.

RE: 1.20 Edge Review, the beginnings

The 44 in the 28% would be too little, put it in the 73" Edge. There is a guy who has a thread that he just started, I think it's called "1.20 Edge Gasser." Anyways, he's putting a BME 44 in the...

RE: 1.20 Edge Review, the beginnings

There's a guy doing a thread about putting a gas engine in this plane and he's using a BME 44. If I had one, that's what I would do. I'm even thinking about getting another one to put a BME 50 in.

I'm using an 18 in. prop and there is plenty of clearance for a 20 in.

RE: 1.20 Edge Review, the beginnings

Look what the man in brown dropped off. I got my first carbon fiber high. Now, I may have to get some Carbon Fiber gear.


On a different note, I've been doing some thinking and if you can put...

RE: 1.20 Edge Review, the beginnings

Ordered one for the 1.20 Edge. It was $40, but I didn't know you had them. Mine is starting to warp from those knife edge spins, so I decided to upgrade to a stronger tube. Plus it'll cut a few...

Does anyone know if there is a Carbon Fiber wing tube available for this airplane?

RE: 1.20 Edge Review, the beginnings

Yeah, I got some more flights on mine. I tried keeping throttle in it to land after I moved the CG back. But now, I just set it on idle and floats in.

RE: 1.20 Edge Review, the beginnings

I had fuel problems today to. But I got them worked out and the 9th flight on the airframe was uneventful. I had to change my plumbing scheme, but it's no big deal.

RE: 1.20 Edge Review, the beginnings

I just joined Love Air and i've been out there a few times. Just playing some FCAHA Adult Rec League hockey wise. I'm the goalie for sound advice.

Oh, here's a few pics from the other night.

RE: 1.20 Edge Review, the beginnings

I have one of the prototypes, I don't think it would fit. Although I could mount it to the basswood I just installed. Let me fly it like this first.
