Default VectorFlight 300s, anygood?

Spoke with VF 3 times today via email. They are great. Per the post above, they were careful about recommending the 120 FS for the 66" planes, but said that others had.

David_Moen - Thanks for the lead on Cootertwo! I sent him a PM and asked about the 120 size engine. After looking at his website though I think things will be fine. There is one picture where it appears to be balancing pretty well and he is commenting about maybe not having to put lead in the tail. We shall see.

David Cutler - Dealing with these people is a very pleasant experience. In an inquirey about replacement parts, I learned that the Edge has two wing halves as opposed to a solid wing. That coupled with your 110 and Cootertwo's 120 fitting nicely in the cowl have pretty much made up my mind for me. Late I saw on Cooter's site the mods he made for the wing joining assembly. Did you do this too or did you go stock? You have also referred to brass inserts on the belly pan instead of screws. Can you ellaborate? Are you talking about "bling" type threaded inserts and then using a screw into that? Any pics of this detail?

Has anyone tried to remove any of the decals and dress up the plane with alternate trim schemes? Nothing against what they provide, but it would be nice to be able to put a signature to it. Since I have pretty much decided on the 66" Edge, I would like to hear some all up weights from those of you who have it. Might give me a good reference for wing loading with the increased weight of the 120.

Cooter where are you

Thanks everyone for your info. Thanks for getting them started Diablo!
