Default RE: Vectorflight Edge 540 build

Gary,

Sorry you didn't get to fly the Edge today. I decided to go with Robarts on my plane. It will be my first Robart install.

I got three planes out today - and put them away as stuff broke. One flap servo on the Ultra Stick wouldn't work. Throttle stop screw on the Super Tiger 51 (Twist power plant) disappeared in flight, and I can't get the muffler on the Pro 46 (Tiger Stick) tight.

Funny thing happened with the Twist - I was flying and discovered I could only throttle it down to about 1/4 throttle. After a few passes at the field I was messing around with a semi-hot landing - stalled and landed it in the high grass off the runway. I put the Tx down and took that embarrassing long walk across the field. When I got to the Twist, it was still running. If I had brought the Tx, at least I could have driven it back.
