some fliton models
Just finsihed off my Mini Edge, and the Extra is almost complete.
Edge:
HS55s
Axi 2808/24
Jeti 30amp
R700 rx.
1700mah 11.1v
Extra:
Futaba 3050s
Hitec 5245MGs
Axi 4130/16
Jeti 70amp Opto
R700 RX
2 x 3400 11.1v (22.2v)
The edge is RTF, and the extra needs about 1 hour more work to finish it off. Both models should be flown within the week.

Volkan,
Looking good. Am off to fly my Mini Extra shortly. Same motor setup as Al's - should be ballistic on the right prop but can't find anywhere with an APC 11x4.7 in stock so having to use a 10x4.7 at the mo.
Hacker A30 and X30 ESC
FlightPower Evo 2100 20C pack
Schulze Rx
HS-55s all round
Rgds,

PS Where did you get the spinner? I want one of those too!

RE: some fliton models
Keep us posted on your flight results.
You have two very nice planes.
I am also interested to see what kind of flight time you will get on the Edge.

Mark,
The spinngr is the 45mm irvine one (i think, its the smallest in the range). got it from als, its a bit big for the
edge, but only by a few mm, its looks good in the end.

RE: some fliton models
Volkan,
Enjoy these planes, I have both and think they're great fliers. my extra is wet, though (saito 91). You may want to reinforce the landing gear mount on the edge, some guys reported failures. I used 1/8 x 3/4 lite ply on each side from the firewall to the first stringer. Not much weight, but has held up well. Good luck! T.
