hanger 9 edge
 

I am about to start putting an edge together, I am planning on using aq zdz40rv, the plans only call for 5 servo's. what I need is for some of you guy's with experience on this plane to tell me what your setup is like as far as servo's & control's go. Any help with this matter would be much appreciated. I will be trying to 3d with this plane.

my setup is 2 servos in rear, 2 for ailerons, 1 for rudder and throttle.

flew fine the first flight. havent been able to make it back for subsequent flights.

YS 140L, 12.5lbs

engine wieghs 2.8lbs with H9 mount, slimline muffler for smoke

zdz would be a little heavier i think...

Ron:
You used two in the rear for the elevators, two for the ailerons, one for rudder on pull pull & one for throttle???
This is pretty much how I plan on doing it. Let me know if I got this right!!

I'm thinking of the zdz, I have a fox 3.2 I am also thinking about, what do you think, can it hold together with the fox??

it should, with the right mods. lots of power and wieght there from what ive read here and on a web site showing the conversion...

i saw a h9 edge in hobby shop with a gasser in it. not sure what size, looked 2.8-3.2 ish in size. didnt ask. looked like it had time on it, and didnt look too bad.

I was running the fox in a midwest extra, it was awesome right until it's demise, a successful attempt to mix balsa & dirt. The extra & the edge are very close in size, I think I will try it & save about $500 bucks.
