RE: 47" Edge V3 New Batch!!!

On mine I used two 1/4" harwood spacers to mount the HS-81MG to the fuse. Fast and simple, plus it gives the servo link a better angle to the carburetor arm (in my case an O.S. .70 Ultimate).

Avalanche,
I don't have any experience with the OMP thrust block. I always use washers between the engine and the motor mount on the front bolts. I beleive three washers was all it required on my...

RE: 47" Edge V3 New Batch!!!

You are correct, I should have typed 5245MG's. Indeed the perfect servos for 40 size glow models and high performace gliders.

RE: 47" Edge V3 New Batch!!!

I am running 3245's MG all around except an HS-81 on throttle. It required installing 3/16" Lite-Ply extensions inside the servo wells. The total weight saving is only slightly less than four...

RE: 47" Edge V3 New Batch!!!

See Post # 88 for details of the SIG tail wheel installed on my Edge. This is a very sturdy and light unit that works great on the Edge.

RE: 47" Edge V3 New Batch!!!

While we are on the subject of wing bolts. Mine was loosening up every four or five flights. I found out a black silicon o-ring from the hardware store faucet repair section, used as a washer, took...

RE: 47" Edge V3 New Batch!!!

The OS 70 is a perfect fit on the Edge. Mine hovers at half throtle with no problem, but I am partial to OS over the Saito.

I ran into the same problem with the tail servo wires. I tried Mike’s suggestion but it didn't work. It seems there was some leftover glue or something inside the tunnel that kept...

RE: 47" Edge V3 New Batch!!!

As far as best throws for hovering I will suggest as much as you feel comfortable, and can handle. I am a little heavy handed with my control inputs so I use fairly smaller throws than suggested and...

RE: 47" Edge V3 New Batch!!!

John,

Thanks for the information. I ended doing about the same thing you did. I used a 5 cell 1450mAh (6 volts) battery pack all the way back inside the rear fuselage hole. Since I used Hitec...

RE: 47" Edge V3 New Batch!!!

Hey John,

I am also installing an OS .70 on mine and I will like to know where did you located the receiver and the battery to get the CG at the forward position? Did you needed to add weight?

Mike,
Thank you. This time I tried ChrisAttebery suggestion. I removed the connector’s housings and joined the bare plugs with heat shrink tubing. The extensions slides just fine inside the...

RE: 47" Edge V3 New Batch!!!

Mike thank you for the feedback. I believe that it may be easier to solder the extensions and remove the cables housings. I do it all the time when installing long servo leads. It eliminates a...

RE: 47" Edge V3 New Batch!!!

No problem, I understand. I am not a 3D hotdog myself. I am mostly concerned about overall power and it seems that you have plenty with the .70 so far. BTW I have a Great Planes 40 size Chapman...

RE: 47" Edge V3 New Batch!!!
