Sledge 540 progress.
Plane Bender and I built 2 of little jewels. You really need to focus and get it done. This is one of my best flyers yet. We made a couple mods as you will see. I wanted the fuse as strong as possible so it could withstand full power blenders. We skipped the pull pull in the fuse and mounted Hitech HS 5245MG digitals in the tail. I beefed the fuse around the servos to take the stress. We mounted the servos about 9-10" from the tail to keep from shifting the cg to far back. 440 rods and no problem with 70 degree + throw ! We also used minis in the wing and made strong supports their as well. We used fx46's w/ ultrathrust mufflers. They both came in about 4.5 lbs and are unbelievable. With flapperond dialed in and 3d rates this thing is an animal. Compared to other profiles this one is the leader!
