Default RE: The new Lanier Edge 87"

My recommendation go with something light you want this plane to be light as possible, a DA50 will the way to go for light, also you will have to work on the servo's for the weight compensation, if you want a quick job of the plane stick a zdz80 in there and it will make your life much easier.

My advise in terms of the servo, look back on the thread most of us have pretty much concluded on the servo choices maybe not in terms of brand but oz wise we are not very far off.

Not to recap alot of the things that have been posted on the thread, I would seriously recommend that you go through the entire thread and take notes down, either way your main choice in terms of determining which setup comes down to the engine choice.

I have no personnel experience with evo's but from wat I hear they are very powerful engines. I would stick with a DA in terms of preference.

Your choice your plane your dead weight your flying ability pretty much will sum up the character of this plane, look at the video posts that bonedoc and I have posted it will give you a clear indication what a 50 sized engine can do to this plane let alone a 60 and up engine.

Also in terms of characteristics of this plane, it's very forgiving, very very if not non apparent stall speeds, and lands on the dim, it just floats and keeps on floating, you will enjoy her for sure, look at shaving weigt of in terms of setup it will reward you bigtime in the end.

Btw mine is still around, have to crank her up soon the season is nearly over here with summer kicking in.
