For the ZDZ 210, it cost me $500.00

For the Fiber Optics they are only $35.00/ea

When I ran the 210, that is the only way I ever started it. and that is the reason for the disc brakes to hold it back when I remotely start it.

Most people dont go complete scale with the edge or other aerobat b/c it adds weight increasing wing load and you end up with a airplane that flies like a warbird. YUCK!! But to each his own

Your right, but the difference here is that this Edge is so light to begin with, and besides, I'm not into 3D. When fully decked out it will be very competetive in the IMAC class still.

I'll be using this aircraft as a promotional tool for my company and for ACM also.

Do any of you guys know of anyone or any biz that makes other mufflers for the 3w engines On Rick’s edge he had to cut some holes in the front of the cowl to accommodate the chambers of the mufflers. I don't want to do that and need some ideas or different muffler setups to get around it.

Can you not use some of the canister mufflers on the market where the bulk of the mufflers would be inside the fuselage.

The other thing that I think can be done is simply cut off the part that would protrude and reweld it.

Just a thought.
