E-Flite Mini Edge
 

Hello
I have from the remains of my Stevens Aero Groove (still not over the loss yet!) a Tornado 3508/1300 outrunner - would this be a good match for the E-Flite Mini Edge, and would it be difficult to fit this motor to the Edge, I believe the Edge is designed for inrunners but not sure about that?
Many thanks
Gerhard

I think it is designed around the *junk imo* inrunner/gearbox setup, but you can put an outrunner on the stick with a special mount... Personally I would wait on the edge and watch some videos, listen to what people think about it, because as advertised, it will have a higher wing loading than the mini funtana, which imo, is a fat pig... however, the video of the mini edge looked alot better 3d'ing than the mini pigtana...

that mini edge will do every trick...i have video and info from jason himself at horizon test team
wow is all i got to say with inrunner or outrunner....i personally look forward to
QQ yak54f balsa (out now) and the ultimate 3d fx

RE: E-Flite Mini Edge
 

yea, that video was pretty badass, lets hope horizon's specs are out of line :)

Nice video! I got my Mini Edge now and have simply ordered the recommended E-flite inrunner with it - looking forward to putting it together!

you will be happy with that POWERFULL inrunner as long as the mesh is perfect
i use a plastic parts bag to set my mesh ..and over 100 flights on the yak54f with no stripping of anykind ...its all in the gearmesh &....prop choice along with the batt and servo weight ...are important also throw(extended servo arms) !!!!![:@]

My name is Steven Chao with AON Electric. I like to assemble a group of test pilots for our AON brushless motors on E-flite Mini-Edge 540 3D ARF. If you have done some testing for us, please let me know that you are interested immediately.

New testers: There are criterias to our selections. I do not go over them here. Please email me directly, [email protected].

uh, where is that mini edge video located?

RE: E-Flite Mini Edge

ugh, what a tease! i can't wait...

RE: E-Flite Mini Edge
 

Could you put a glow engine in this? I saw a mini funtana with a O.S. .15 and wondered if it would work in the edge.

RE: E-Flite Mini Edge
 

a little tip for ya...toss the stock gearbox and get a himaxx aluminum gear box...they are only like 25 bucks and you dont have to mess with the gear mesh, and the gears are a helluva lot easier to change and IMHO alot easier to find at local hobby shops.

just my.02 cents

im assuming you can, but i have read that the funtana with the 15 in it was even more of a pig off power than the stock set up, so who knows how the edge will do....

RE: E-Flite Mini Edge
 

just fly the damn thing ...my plastic gearbox has worked for over 100 flights so whatever

RE: E-Flite Mini Edge
 

E-Flites Mini Edge is in stock. Hope my report card is good because I really want this!!!
