I started with D&L plans but I made foam wings and tail surfaces and made the wings bigger than the plans.It has a 84" wingspan

Edge?
 
Hey Johnny Rebel

I think your Edge would look a lot better if it had wheel pants!!!!!! :D But I'll bet that even without them it flies better than the other Edges.

Lets see your Edge
 
Hay John That is not an Edge 540T. Number 1 it doesn't have a shoulder wing. 2 it the leading EDGE of the wing is tapered back.

I actually sold the wheel pants to this guy that had this "pretty" Giles. They just don't look right on Edges. :D

Johnny,
Looks like a Extra to me.....even the landing gear has a bow in it like the Extra.
And the wings are tapered back like an Extra.

Cub1 Now that is an Edge.

You can't be bringing an Extra here. Extra doesn't even come close to the performance of an Edge.....

Difference
 
Edge's/Extra's, what's the difference? Seen one, seen them all. They all look the same. Rebel's dirigible is just a little more "Special" than others.:cool:

It's not what you see.. It is how they fly. Edge is superior. Just ask Kirby.

Edge
 
Hey Johnny Rebel

Did ya ever wonder why a lot of the Edges actually have the word Edge on the plane? What's up with that? Is it possible they have an identity problem because they don't fly as good as an Extra? Just wondering......

erjpilot 02-27-2002 02:39 AM

Edge vs. Extra
 
The day an Edge flies better than Extra is the day when "Pigs" fly. Kirby knows all about pigs too. :eek:

This is Kirby Champliss's full size Edge 540. Don't see to many Extras is competition anymore. Extra is a great pattern plane but for Freestyle the Edge is the best.....

paint job
 
That is a pretty wild paint job that Kirby has on his Extra. Kind of impossible to reproduce with Monokote though unfortunately.

Johnny_Rebel 02-27-2002 03:09 AM

very similiar to an extra
 
hey that looks alot like an extra 330.

mikerc 02-27-2002 03:13 AM

They all look the same don't they.

erjpilot 02-27-2002 03:22 AM

aileron counterbalances
 
I didn't realize that the Extra 230 had aerodynamic counterbalances on the ailerons, i.e. Kirby's shown above. Is this something new or what? :confused:

Johnny_Rebel 02-27-2002 03:29 AM

Look what I found
