Now that there are a few people who have the plane, I figure we need a place to start posting pics of what you've done to them. Here are a few pics of mine...

Some sticker removal, all the graphix are cut out of Ultracote and the tips are reflective safety tape

And a pic of my cowl cutout for the DA/Slimline setup, I'm building a light ply joiner for behind the slit in the cowl for the pipes so I can join the halves solidly after the cowl is on.

A pic of my home-brew instrument panel, now just to find a pilot...

Nice EDGE... Is that an "Old School" poster of Farrah Fawcett in the background?.. If so, Cool!!!

So based on the photo the slimline muffler fits entirely within the cowl, is that right? Did you modify it in any way?

Tom - Yes, the Slimline does fit entirely in the cowl with no modifications with the exception of one end of the muffler bottle does touch, although just barely, if I could move anything about 1/16 of an inch I think it would clear. If I cant get it, all it would require would be a small oval hole about 1/2 inch long right under the bottle end, the bottle wouldn't protrude out it would simply be to stop contanct.

propwashed - Thank you, actually that is an old school poster of Rachel Hunter

And a few pics of the added tube structure, pretty much scale with the shapes... just some wood dowel and white paint, just need to find a good pilot figure.

Abraxxas, can I send you mine when I, and if I ever get. Dadgum nice job. SWEET !!!!! Now, are you gona fly it?

Nice instrument panel! Where'd you get that?

H. Wayne S - Thank you for the comment No more tubing jobs for me for a while, I think I have the regain my patience from mine LOL Yes, it will get tossed around and abused like any good 3D plane should [>:]

laefd - Thank you, I made it... 1/8" balsa front and rear pannels with with 1/32" balsa sheet wrapped around the curve with the grain and CA'd for the top. The instruments themselves are just a printout on my HP Deskjet in color on normal paper backed with clear packaging tape and CA'd to the dash. Then using a hole in my ruler I cut out circles of clear packaging tape and stuck them to the gauge faces to make them reflect like glass... did the same with the two computer screens. Found the dash pics at a full scale aviation site in their instrument panel setup options pictures.

Abraxxas - Very nice !!! Man if you can't see that rascal in the air
you have a major problem. Nice work.

I may get another canopy and cover and have you guys attach it for me. That was the only part about this ARF that I didn't like. Everything else was simple enough for me to do!

While waiting on parts to finish up my Edge, I decided to add some graphics to it today. I like some of Brian's ideas so I used those as well as my own. I am not finished with the graphics yet. I have a few more to add.

This cockpit screams for a female pilot from www.litepilots.com . Expensive but awesome. Here is one in my Christen Eagle :

I keep looking but can't find a pilot that looks like me!
