RE: Vectorflight Edge 540 build

Eagle,
Someone, I think it was Sturz, built a belly pan for the Edge. I'm not sure how far back it is but he posted pics of the build. Do a search in this thread for belly pan and you should...

RE: Vectorflight Edge 540 build

I'm not sure what it is with this plane. I must have the jinxed one.

Landing gear ripped out - repaired
Tail wheel ripped off - repaired

The longest I have had this thing in the air was...

RE: Vectorflight Edge 540 build

I flew mine once, bent the gear. I got the Dubro gear but never put it on. Still sitting on the bench. Build it up and fly that thing.

Larry,

There are thrust plates made by Ernst. They make them according to the size of the engine/mount. Tower, yeah I said the dirty word, sells them for less then $3 each.

RE: Vectorflight Edge 540 build

Grelker,

I heard something similar; only it was double the diameter and add the pitch.

I wonder which way is true. And, like exeter said, it doesn't take flex into consideration. Guess...

I think I hear Twilight Zone music.

Sorry to hear about your plane. I'm sure you'll have it up in no time.

So next time you go the field; wear your sweat ban, bring your guard dog, put...

ehernan3,

I originally had the fueler valve located at the bottom of the fuse, as in the pic. I have the vent line longer, with a coupler, so I can get it from the bottom and plug in when...

RE: Vectorflight Edge 540 build

I knew they would have an easy fix for you. Just make sure you don't sand down too much. It is a thick joiner, and I like things thick, but you don't want to make it too thin.

RE: Vectorflight Edge 540 build

You put the front joiner in the rear? Oh man, you're gonna have to get another wing. I KNOW there isn't any way to fix that.

RE: Vectorflight Edge 540 build

I had a sturdy landing the other day, not a really bad one but bad enough. I have to get another LG for the Edge now. I may go with the Dubro gear, have to find one to see if it'll fit. I'm also...

RE: Vectorflight Edge 540 build

suitcase,

The control horns have to be perpindicular to the aileron, not the servo. It doesn't matter what type of horn you are using.

If you look at the control wires on the servos they...

Didn't think of that Cal; I'll look into the servos and control horns rattleing around.

Anyone have any tips on which gear will fit? I was going to put a wire between the gear but didn't get...

RE: Vectorflight Edge 540 build

I never got to inverted flight. I only did a few laps around the flight pattern trying to get a good level flight and then brought it in.

I got it to balance right on 4 inches with 1/2 oz of...

RE: Vectorflight Edge 540 build

I finally got to fly my Edge today. I think the problem I had with the engine was due to the fueler valve being too low, mounted it on the bottom of the fuse.

Anyway, I had a hard time getting...

Exeter,

I'm not sure where that piece goes. I just kept it and the extra white for future small repairs. I did cut some off and use it to hold the plastic over the tail section.

Nathan,

I'm not sure what temp loc-tite is rated for so I can't say if it would work. Did you think about using an extra nut; like they use on props. Or maybe going to a hardware store and...

RE: Vectorflight Edge 540 build

It must be bad engine season or something. I took mine out to the field for a maiden on Sat and the engine wouldn't run. I would get it started and it would die after running a bit. I thought I...

I balanced mine upside down. I have always went with putting the wing to the top when balancing; i.e. low wings upside down high wings right side up. The Edge is a mid wing but I think it should...
