RE: Vectorflight Edge 540 build
Wow - I'm jealous. I went flying yesterday... same kind of day bright blue sky, little wind, gorgeous day of flying... but it was -8c and about a 1 inch dusting of snow on the runway LOL.
I've made about 15 flights on my Edge now and I'm still very happy. The best prop for my setup is the APC 14x8 Pattern on Cool Power 30% High Performance Heli fuel. With the SA 100 I can go straight up as long as I keep the throttle on! Big open loops can be done easily at 1/2 throttle. I also shed a few Oz by using smaller wheels and removing my pilot... every little bit helps.
The only issues so far have been some minor cracking on the cowl near the exhaust which was easily repaired. My wing also developed a little side-to-side play because the extra screws I used for anti-rotation and to "synch-up" the fuse to the wing root were not holding. I used some slightly bigger screws and it is solid now.
I'm re-doing my linkage geometry on the ailerons. I got a H9 Angle Pro for Christmas and upon checking with that I found my full-throws are equal but everything in between was way off... which may have been contributing to my less than axial rolls.
