Default RE: BME Edge?

Ronk1,

It's a "regular old" MSC. I painted it with white spray laquer paint from Lowe's. and auto laquer for the red & gold tips... I cut the lettering out of vinyl. I am going to clearcoat with Deft Glossy Clearcoat and then balance by spraying it heavier on the back side of the light blade.

It's real purdy compared to the "stamped" MSC logo. I did this one up for the Double Vision.

Will probably do the same for the BME Edge...

Max is a customer of mine... I am a web developer and do a lot of various sites and print ads and BME Aircraft is one of them... his current site is a "down and dirty" site to get the info up.

I have a new site ready to roll out any day... and will ask Max to get the measurements of these things (or if I'm lucky do it myself soon) to add to the specs. I also want to get things like spinner sizes, other items needed, etc...)

But the big thing was getting the base info out and the video up... I have Challenger footage too that I want to get finished up for the bipe guys.

Though I'm working with BME in this capacity, I call things like I see them. I designed all the new schemes for Wild Hare... 50 cc Edge & Extra, 35% Extra and a new Giles scheme. Tom is a great guys and is very helpful and has brought some great, lower cost planes to market. I know we'll see more great things from WH...

But that doesn't stop me from making fair comparisons from one manufacturer to another. They all understand that I do reviews and that honest, objective reporting is all I can offer. If someone has a problem with me being honest and straight forward, then I really have no interest in doing business with them.

And to date... noone (including WH) has ever asked me to "clam up" or "sugar it up". I think that's a fine testiment to these guys.
