Default Seagull Models Edge 540

Looks like Ill get to test fly my Edge next weekend!

Installed the engine, elev. , rudd and throttle servs last night and just reepoxied everything in the front end and fuelproofed moments ago.
Checked the supplied fuel tank for leaks, would have replaced it, but, I liked how it is made to custom fit in the fuse.
Just cant figure any way to wrap foam around it and still get it through the hole in the ply former that holds it in place so well.
Guess Ill give it a try w/out foam and see what happens.

Im still amazed at how the elevator halves work so well with separate servos so far apart and on a y-harness! Go figure.

Now, just got to make some flying wires for the tail and break in the new 91 FX.

Has anyone used a 91 FX and a Pitts style muffler?
I have one, but, the pipes are not long enough to extend through the bottom of the cowl. This thing is $55 after I crank the engine, so, if theres a bettr one, please tell me.
I like the sound of the Pitts and the stock pipe is as big as a house.
Wish me luck, havnt flown in months!
