Default RE: Vectorflight Edge 540 build

Gary, happy landings !! I got carried away on my first flight and didnt realize until Iwas almost out of fuel. Leave some for a couple of go arounds at least, it does tend to float on landings and easy to overshoot.

Primodus, that is way too much weight! I weighed mine on an electronic scale, and the complete airframe with everything except engine and radio gear was 5 lbs 11 oz which was really tidy. All up weight now is just over 8 lbs without fuel, so I am guessing it is close to 9 lbs with 14 oz of fuel. I am using a 91 FX which may explain some of the difference in weight compared to your 1.20, but it still seems too much. Imagine what you would turn it into if you took 1 lb off it somehow.[8D]
