p51Delta, sorry pal, haven't been recieving any alerts for this forum, thought it was dead as well. And been busy with helis. Anyway how's it going with your Edge? When I went to buy the engine the LHS guy literally forced me off the Fa100 for this plane but I know why now. The Fa82 has loads of power and with all the electronics mounted as far back as possible it was still nose heavy and I got a Duralite 2900mah pack with regulator and I joined the elevator halves with a piece of aluminium and I mounted the elevator servo at the back and I had put in a pilot figurine. Shew. Now it's just about right but I still have to maiden it so we'll see. Waiting for my battery to come back from repairs on its charge circuit. By the way I only fly Duralites on all my nitros. Fantastic stuff with excellent service. I've only done some ground running on the engine so far but I can tell you this thing will be airborne in a few meters. The Fa100 will be too much for this plane. I'm actually concerned about how long the firewall structure will last with the Fa82.I'm using the stock mount.
Tiroloco, I think you're right, a smaller engine might do just right for this one. And you don't have to cut the cowl.
