RE: OMP Hybrid Edge 540 Build

Craig,
I think I remember you saying something about a problem you solved by running a line to a pill bottle in the fuse. I can't seem to find the thread. I'm having a problem where if I do a...

RE: OMP Hybrid Edge 540 Build

Craig, you should bring your Hybrid to the Huckfest here in Hot Springs on June 24-27th. I'll have mine there, since it's here in town. See the other rc forum - huckfest - Hot Springs.

RE: OMP Hybrid Edge 540 Build

Here is a picture of my aileron and tristock. It still looks like I may have to sand deeper than I should into the ailerson.

RE: OMP Hybrid Edge 540 Build

THe picture is from the instruction DVD that came with the kit, maybe its an old picture before the 3/4 inch tristock was used and I'll be just fine. Thanks - Ron

RE: OMP Hybrid Edge 540 Build

Well, my hybrid is no longer. The horizontal stab broke lose and I couldn't save it. If I ever build another one, I will use 1/4 square hardwood to surround the stab opening and also re-inforce the...

RE: OMP Hybrid Edge 540 Build

Mine is balanced a little behing the CG, but that's where I usually start as CG's on ARFs and such are usually pretty cautious. I could move my battery from under the tank (on the CG) to just in...

RE: OMP Hybrid Edge 540 Build

It lands at a snails pace. It was a little windy which helped, but I didn't have to give it any down elevator and it did not balloon on landing. With it flying as well as it does, I think I'll...

RE: OMP Hybrid Edge 540 Build

Well, it's finally done - just have to put in the last 4200 NMH to balance her out. I will start breaking the engine in tomorrow, and then hope to fly it next weekend - weather permitting. Its...

RE: OMP Hybrid Edge 540 Build

Got the trim on the bottom of the wings today, my vinyl guy does great work. I hate to use outside talent on my planes, but he does such a good job for me, I always use him. He's retired and it's...

RE: OMP Hybrid Edge 540 Build

Now it's just the guts and she's ready. Painting the wheel pants in this cool weather wasn't much fun. Going to get the bottom wing decals Thursday. All, but the rudder, servos are mounted and...

RE: OMP Hybrid Edge 540 Build

I've got everything done but the engine, prop and spinner. My 28% Edge with my DL50 is still flying well, so I will have to wait 2 weeks to get another DL50. (That's when the my banker ((the boss))...

RE: OMP Hybrid Edge 540 Build

Sorry to fill up this site with all my goofs. I guess after 3 months of building, I got anxious to get it done and started rushing the covering job. I learned a big lesson, slow down and do it...

RE: OMP Hybrid Edge 540 Build

Well I did the left wing pretty much wrinkle free. I ironed on the yellow leading edge first and then windexed the flames on after that and it worked pretty good. I wanted to put the leading edge...

RE: OMP Hybrid Edge 540 Build

Well, I have a ten foot covering job. It looks good from 10 feet away. I'm going to recover this wing once and if I can get every wrinkle out, I'm doing an easier scheme.

RE: OMP Hybrid Edge 540 Build

Looks very cool!!! How does your Hybrid fly?? Is the windex method - spray windex on the wing, apply flames, remove excess, let dry overnight and then iron on??? If that's it, I was going to give...

RE: OMP Hybrid Edge 540 Build

It looks real good. I wish I would have picked a easier pattern. I've spent most of the day cutting and taping flames for 1 wing. I've still got a lot of work to do before I apply them.

RE: OMP Hybrid Edge 540 Build

Looks very good. We must be at about the same spot in our covering. I have the wings to do and then the cub yellow flames. I figured I would have cratered my Edge by now and was going to use the...
