RE: DP 300L
BYTW I have the extreme flight yak and it is an absolute great flying plane (less roll coupling in knife edge and much, much lighter) however it is quit a bit smaller. Jamie

RE: DP 300L
Jamie,
Thanks for your reply. Is it possible to compare these two planes for me? (68" yak and 76" DP edge) Flying 3d & Imac,sport.
I was thinking about powering the D.P. with the 1.60 and maybe adding the Jett muffer-- I thought I would prop it with a mejzlik 19-7 or 6. The 1.6 is on a Lineir edge 540 right now and weighs 12.8pounds--power is good. If the D.P. came in under 13 with this sett up and had another 200inches of scale wing area I think it would be a great package. I think this is the biggest plane that I could fit in my car.(not 100% sure it would fit).

RE: DP 300L
It ptrobably would come in at or under 13 lbs with the OS 1.60fx. And these are pretty long planes. I hope my DP Edge 540T fits in my Honda Accord. We'll soon see.

I think the 540 is a tad more stable makes it easier to 3D the Extra is a tad bit more unstable makes it a bit better for IMAC. Both will do everything well.

I'd get the Edge. I have one with a Moki 2.10 waiting for radio gear. It's a darn nice ARF.

RE: DP 300L
You really need to count that wide fuselage toward the wing area. It generates a lot of lift. If you don't believe me look at a Gee Bee.

DP Edge 540 is 79" wingspan and 1200 sq in.

They fly GREAT! I am selling mine right now because I just bought a 40% Carden Cap 232 and I need to make some room. The DP Edge has been my favorite flyer for over a year now. Here are a couple vids of one 3Ding.

RE: DP 300L
I just flew my edge for the first time this weekend with the DPM moki 2.10. I am using a Air Wild NX 20X8 prop, and running the engine rich as hell. Have around 1.25 gallons through it so far. So power is still a few gallons away. Even at this rich setting the plane hovers a bit under 3/4 throttle. I have my cg a 6" and have a bit of tail weight in it too. 6 ounces to be exact. I had 5 flights over the weekend and found the plane waterfalls, blenders, and inverted flat spins like its nobodys business! Great plane, and the 2.10 is a pretty good match. I guess if you really wanted some sick 3d a 50 cc gasser woudlnt be so bad though!

Are both your elevator and rudder pull pull?

RE: DP 300L
Yes both are pull pull, but I am moving elevator servos to tail to loose the weight. I am running a HS5945mg on the elevator right now, just going to add a second and move the weight back. I also am going to order a carbon fiber landing gear from Chief Aircraft to help bring the nose weight down. Its supposed to be a pretty drastic change.

What spinner are you using (size and brand)?

RE: DP 300L
Swap Cop,
Finally got the videos to run. Nice flying! I guess that
proves the DP edge is a good 3D plane after all. It
seems very stable in harriers. I didn't see much wing
rock. What engine are you using?
