Default RE: The new Lanier Edge 87"

Here are the 2 aileron setup. I personally feels more comfortable with using 2 with a surface area this large. I'm setting up my Futaba 9C for a 4 servo aileron setup, so I don't need any matchbox / y adapter / etc. On the ailerons, I DID use the STOCK arms. I figure ailerons aren't that important, and there are 2 of them, so it's more bulletproof.

You can't really see it from that angle, but if you look at the top/bottom profile of this Edge vs the real Edge, the wings are wider front-back (which would give you the more surface area for the same wing span). I think this is a fine compromise, as most planes are designed like this anway to reduce wingloading.

Pic 2 & 3 show the closeup of the control horn. This is EXACTLY setup stock (so you guys would have an idea of what they look like. IMHO, this is adequate for a 90 bird, but not a 30% (you be the judge)

Ok, that's it for now. I just got back from my LHS today with all the pull-pull setup, so once I get going on that, I'll post more pics. Right now, I only need to set up the pull-pull, mount the tank, and throttle servo.
