Default RE: 28% Edge

Glad to hear you like your WH Edge. I have the same plane with a DA 50 also. After adjusting the carb
the engine runs a little rich but runs up lines and inverted and knife edges with no sag in power. I already had 22-8 a couple Zingers in my hanger so I used them for break in. The guys on these threads had told me to try the NX 22-8. It seams to load the engine just about right. A friend of mine has a Yak and he is running a NX 23-8. Think I'll stay with the 22x8 at least for a while yet. Although I have about 3 + gallons through the engine it just gets better and better. The plane weighs 17.2 and 5" on the CG. I've had several good comments on the looks of the plane also. Most of the guys find it hard to believe the way this plane slows for landing. I let if sort of drop out of the sky and just before touching I give up elevator and sometimes a little goose on the throttle and it just settles right down on 3 points.
When ever I go the the field I bring 2 planes. The Edge and whatever...... Bill
