RE: CARL GOLDBERG 77" EDGE 540
Adamctr
I can report a little more on my Goldberg Edge 540 refered to above in above posts as an "18 lb. monster". I have removed the DA 50 and replaced it with a Saito 180. All the Fromeco electrics are gone and were replaced with a 5 cell nimh which doubled as ballast and was mounted just behind the engine. I have also pulled two of the aileron servos and now only have one per wing. The weight, minus fuel is now 14 lb. 2 oz. I have yet to fly but it flew great with the DA 50 it was just very hairy when slowing down for landings it wanted to snap. I am a little worried about aileron flutter, especially with only one servo. I read somewhere that you needed good throttle managment on this perticular model as the flutter may be caused by excessive speed. I hope to get it back in the air soon and will give feedback on the performance.
