Default RE: Seagull Edge 540 First flight report..

I know my "60-90" Seagull Edge does not have any right thrust.. I'm not chuck yeager, but the only thing I really notice is how much it pulls to the left on vertical uplines.. It's not a big deal because there is more than enough rudder to take care of it.. I thought about adding some right thrust, but really I don't know if it's worth having the cowl not match up..

No idea about the 120 version.. Are they still selling that model? Couldn't find it on the Horizon Hobby website?

Marvintm, that makes perfect sense about the balance now that I think about it.. never considered all the wt. on the nose, and the tail with very little in the center of the fuse.. That does explain why, in the words of Randy Jackson on American Idol, its pitchy dog... On the balance stand anyway...

Mine did balance at 95 mm. and flies nice there thought..
