RE: Vectorflight Edge 540 build
Way to go Nathan! Great to hear the maiden went well! That 10 ft landing roll must have felt good! Wait till you put her through the paces, its a totally awesome airplane.
Bshin and Salty, nice looking planes there! Bshin I ran into the same belly pan problem with my 300S, I later discovered it was due to the wing seating tape. Apparently the wing needs to be seated on the saddle without the tape, and that will close the gap under the belly pan.
Seems like some more maidens are due soon! Keep 'em coming![8D]
I almost never use the small hobby batteries. Bought a 12 v sealed lead acid motor bike battery from Wal Mart for about $30 a couple of years ago, and it goes about a month between charging. My engines start pretty good so I dont use a lot of battery power. Use a basic slow overnight charger for about 10 bucks! The setup has worked great so far.
