Default RE: Vectorflight Edge 540 build

Guys,

More flight report and pics.

Nice flying day at our field and I flew the VF Edge 3 times. Enjoying it very much. One mishap, over ran the end of the runway on the first flight - landed hot - left thumb froze up and Edge went into the high grass. Seemed innocent enough, but I was surprised to find that all four nylon 1/4 x 20 bolts securing the landing gear had sheared off. I didn't have blind nuts on the inside so it took a lot to get the gear back on. Fortunately a club member with skinnier fingers and more patience than I helped me out.

I'm finally getting the idle of the Saito down where it ought to be and actually came in too slow on the final landing of the day and she just dropped the last foot, hitting kinda hard. Had to bend the gear back out.
