RE: KYOSHO edge 540
Hi Everyone,
I finally got my edge in the air. I ended up putting a .52 (8.5ccm) engine in it. The FA-100 I have wouldn't fit . I crashed on the second day out, while flying in a wind storm. I crashed due to the motor cutting off and not because of the wind. Fortunately the firewall was only broken in one place and otherwise only a few joints came apart. I glued it, let it dry and then put fiberglass matting on the inside and outside of firewall. It's running fine again. I wish I would have discovered fiberglass and resin a long time ago.(I've only been flying for 2 years now.) It strenghtens good and is light. Otherwise I just built it all stock. It flys ok, but I still prefer my Oxalys F3A from Kyosho. I guess the FA-100 would have rattled this plane apart.
