Default Dave Patrick Edge 540T Arrived TODAY!!!

Well, my Edge is finished and ready for its first flight. I'm just waiting for the instrument panels to arrive from DPM and for some of the glue to dry on the canopy. I stuck some pictures in my gallery of the plane as it sits right now. I ended up putting a Brison 2.4 engine swinging a Pro Zinger 20x8 on it. There's a big 24oz fuel tank in it and I'm using a EMS Jomar Glitch Buster system to allow the receiver to work of its own battery and the servos have their own 6 volt NiCad. I have a Hitec mini on the throttle, and the flight controls are all Futaba 9252 digitals running off a MPI 6 volt regulator. I went with the single wing servo option as well as the single elevator servo w/ all pull-pull connections. This has managed to keep the weight very low, although I haven't put it on a scale yet today. I will as soon as I get a chance to. Hopefully the weather will hold out this weekend and I can get a flight or two in. I'm pretty psyched as this looks like it will be a great flier.
