Hey guys, I have a 30cc edge with a DLE in it. the airframe is a cheap chinese brand, nothing but problems. i would like to put the guts into the aeroworks extra. I question if its worth rebuilding a 30 cc with the guts i have. the dle 30 seemed hard to start, always had to use a starter. and the throttle responsive seemed sluggish ( doesnt have the rear carb mod). Also i had hitec 5645 on the surfaces. the old airframe seemed a bit sluggish, not sure if it was the airframe or the servo speed. any advice would be great, thanks

If you want to stay in 30cc class get rid of the side carb and get the adapter from tower hobby for rear carb. This may present a issue with spacing from firewall in the modification.
I went through the same throttle response and modified it and works great. Tuning was a lot easier as well. Good Luck

5645s are slow for a digital servo, 5625s are better and close to the same torque, IMO for a 30cc plane they'd be fine (2-ail, 2-ele)

Something werid I found with the 5646s when I was programing one for a tail wheel retract operation. The stock programing is @ 70% speed, not 100%. I'm not sure why and I couldn't get an answer from Hitec. But with a programer you can set them to 100% and they speed up some.

good luck
