Engine for OMP540
This will be my 1st profile plane. After reading through all the threads I decided to get the Edge540.. I have a Saito 65 not being used and was wondering if this would be a good choice or should I get an 46fx..Thanks!!

There were a few possibilities discussed in This Thread just a few days ago.
Not sure about the .65..seems like Texas 3D had one, you might pick his brain on it. The 46FX seems to be a fine choice..

There is so much info out there its hard to go through it all..I was also considering the Tower .46 but have heard that there have been some problems with them..

These are some of the parts I used for my OMP
Dubro control arms.
6oz fuel tank.
Standard servos(HS-425)
Dubro control horns.
2-56 linkage for controls.
Stock landing gear wires...
I set my timer for 8 minutes with the six ounce tank. If you do a lot of full throttle spins you probably wont make it 8 minutes. I've been doing a lot of hover practice, which with the OS .46FX/Tower Muffler is less than half throttle.
Have fun,

Hey Ray..you shipped a couple of pair to Amarillo recently. I was the little birdy in the ear of those guys. P.S. they love them on the Extreme 330, those stock gear were a major joke!

I can't believe some of the "stories" I'm hearing about the Extreme 330 gear. Normal landings are a challenge!!
Now I'm in debt to CA too! (smile)!

Tetherite,
Have you started working on Krazy legs for the New extremeflight RC 60"profiles yet.
I just got an email that they should leave China around middle of august, and take 30-45 days to get delivered to U.S.A. Then shipping time from extremeflight to the customers. I will want a set of them if you make them for that plane. But right now from the email I got, it looks like it might be end of Sept. before people start getting these.

There's some 'Legs in-work for the OMP YAK and I'm sure they would be fine for the 6 - 9 lb. model range. These will be in between The "HD's" and the "GS's". Hoping the end of Aug. for some prototypes.
