I am looking to get this combo. 28% edge w/brisson 3.2. I will run all Hiteck5945 digitals or Jr 8411. Probably a little of both. By batteries, I will run either 1 large Nimh back. Or Lith-ion. Really haven't made up my mine. I will go with all the lightweight wingtube, and landing gear. But can somebody tell me how the edge flights with the brisson 3.2. Does it have absolutley umlimited vert. Or should I go with the DA-50 or ZDZ50.

Hi Gramling,

I have this combo and have over 300 flights since this past May!!

First this is one of the nice's flying plane you can get. The Brison 3.2 though
not quite as powerful as the DA 50, but it's not far off. My combo weighs 17.3 lbs.
and will hover at about 1/2 Throttle. It pulls out of a hover (though a little slow)
with enough speed to keep you out of trouble. The Brison 3.2 keeps getting stronger
even after over 50 hrs. of run time.

My setup: Hitec 5645 all around except the rudder Hitec 5735 and JR 531 on throttle
and choke. One 2700 6V nim for the receiver and 1500 nim for the ignition.
Bisson pitts muffler and Dave Brown spinner and Bambula 22 X 8 prop. I
have the standard landing gear and I used the accessory pack from Tom.

All I can say is, I'm very happy with this combo and if you decide to go
this route, you should be happy too.

so if I use the brison 3.2. Then go with the lighter gear, wingtube. Then run 1 Lith-ion pack on RX and 1 on ign. I could probably take off another 12oz. I have heard nothing but good things about a brison 3.2. But I want real good vertical. So I might have to go w/ the DA-50

Easy does it

Gramling my flying buddy has the Edge with DA50 and loves it I have the extra with a 3W 60 and I love it I guess what I am getting at is if you already know the Brisson is down on power why go that route It seems from your post that you are looking for "unlimited" why limit yourself before you start. Unless you have the motor already and in that case disregard this and have a ball with your Wild Hare FANTASTIC planes

Bye the way if you go JR don't bother with the 8411's go with the 8611's really good servos

If you keep the plane below 18 pounds you will have more than enough vertical with the Brison. Should you feel the need to fly higher than you can see, then you might come up short, but only then.

I've been using a Brison 3.2 in an Extra 300S, and had it it an Edge with zero complaints with performance or pull. I've held the tail of a few planes with the DA 50's when they were run up and didn't note that they had any more pull, but did perhaps have less.

Your prop choice and plane weight will have more of an impact than the differences between the manufacturers. Buy what you can afford and remember that with the Brison you will have little, if any, need for customer support.

My personal opinion of the Brison line of engines is that they are good enough for me to have a couple of grand wrapped up in three of his engines. I could just have easily spent the cash with another manufacturer.

I second Silversurfer comments on the Brison after 5 of them i am sold on them , and they are easy to install , no carb thru the firewall.

I want real good vertical. I like TR and hovering on the deck. Inverted harriers all that good stuff. I want to be able to pull out of a hover accelerate real hard than start rolling plane on a vertical upline. My 30% carden cap will do it will a 3W-75USi and it weighs 21 lbs. which is pretty heavy for a 30%. There is nothing more I had than having an underpowered plane.

I know brisson and DA are both good motors. I just figured that more people were flying 28% edge w/ a brison 3.2

With what you desire, I don't think either the DA or the Brison will suit your needs unless the plane stays under 16 pounds, which is not likely regardless of weight saving technoques. Both will easily pull the plane up out a hover while accelerating, but the acceleration will not be overly aggresive. You may want to consider the MVVS 58 or possibly something in the 60cc range.

The lightest Wildhare Edge Ive of heard of was 16.5 lbs an thats stripped down.....M Gramling I was looking at the same plane you were but I think Im going to pass on it as the word is some of these planes come out heavy. Ive heard of one at 19 lbs with 18 being more common. Im sure it would still fly great but I doubt any 50cc engine is going to rocket a 19 lb plane out of a hover.

Watch the video of the Extra special on our web site. That is a stock DA-50 at 3200 ft. altitude. No lightening was done. If that's what you want, fine. If you need more power use a MVVS 58.

tom, how much did that plane weigh in the video. What batteries. I will assemble it using the light equipment. except, I would prefer to do with the brison 3.2 because it cost less money, and almost trouble free.

rctom

That plane weighed a touch over 17 lbs, it had Lipo batteries.
