RE: Vectorflight Edge 540 build
Bunnman,,,, you might want to try this before you fly today.
Put in a 1/4 tank of fuel , maybe a little more. Have a buddy hold the plane upright as you throttle up to full.
Dial the high speed needle in while the plane is pointed vertical. Shut down and fill the tank .
You may be a tad rich but it's better than a new engine deadstick. The reason for the partial tank fill is to emulate what the tank's back pressure will be doing when you get to that fuel level in flight. As your fuel goes down the air pressure increases in the tank leaning out your engine. Plus anytime you dial a motor in on the ground it will lean out when you fly. Lean engine = deadstick.
Especially on a new motor.
Don't forget to do a range check with and without the engine running. Keep some throttle on during final. If she comes in too fast everytime move the CG back a half inch and see if that helps. What ever you do ,,, resist the urge to float her in on landing. This Edge will slow down to a crawl so pretty but will fall straight out of the sky if you lose the wing lift. Never had a tip stall once so far.
But I have replaced the alum gear with the nylon DuBro because of the slow speed stall. Did not add weight to my wingtip for lateral balance. Still falls straight down if flown too slow without power.
Relax. Double check everything. Get the plane trimmed out and start thinking about your landing.
Good luck !!!!! And keep us posted.
