Hey guys,

Thanks John for the complements on the Edge. This is the one John flew and it does fly sweet. It is the old one but it’s not old to me. Here is a run down of the setup I used:

DA-50R on 3 ½” stand offs, w/stock Slimline Pitts Muffler
Bisson 3.5 Fiberglass spinner, 24x8 prop
Servos, 4x5945 Digitals, 1x8611, and 2x225 soft mounted servos for choke and throttle
SWB servo arms all around
MPI Super Switch regulators and extensions
Fromeco 3x2400 batteries (Ni-Cads were in first, now replaced)
Du-bro hardware
H9 titanium links on ailerons
Central Hobbies CF push rods with titanium links on elevators
20oz fuel tank
Airtronics radio
Bevel-to-Bevel on elevators high rate 70% expo, 15 deg low rates 30% expo
40 degrees ailerons (blistering roll rate) 40% expo, 25 deg low 30% expo
45 degrees rudder high rate, 35 low no expo

Total weight came to 16.5 pounds and with the new BME CF upgrades I should be around 16 flat. It balanced right at 4.5” when complete and I am now flying it a 5”

The model was covered in Monocote. The model originally came in the teal scheme and was an absolutely fantastic covering job on the aircraft. I wanted a scale look so ended up striping it down to the bones and recovering it. I have pictures of the aircraft in the buff I can post if anyone is interested. Thanks Max for the Arc’s

I have used over 12 gallons of fuel and hundreds of landings on this aircraft and have had zero problems with the airframe, cowl, landing block, or motor. New or old, this is a fantastic airplane.
