RE: Edge540 26cc

I'm sorry to here about your engine troubles i know its frustrating especially wit a top dollar motor(evo 26).i had trouble in the beginning getting it started but it was because it was new and the carb was dry so fuel was not drawing into the carb.i had to use a starter for a bit but now with about 6 gallons through her she will start on the first flip after shes primed.i do have a problem with the engine tunning,first flight is perfect but after a 30 minute rest the next start up results in the engine running about a thousand rpms higher on idle and the high needle has to be richened.i don't know why but i have to adjust it before i fly but it never quits and that makes a pilot feel good.i paid 260.00 for the edge and posted a flight report a while ago about how well it flys and that my wing tube bent in flight.i emailed peak and they are sending me a carbon tube to replace the bent one.now i see there prices have gone up 40.00 but that is with the new carbon tube.i agree that is getting a bit high priced.
