RE: Seagull Edge 540 - 68" (60-90) ARF New v2- Building

haha, you're finally convinced :-)

You'll be very happy with the Mojo and the OS50 is a perfect engine for it. How did the 60 size fly? I ordered one a couple of days back. Any suggestions where...

Funny you say that because that was exactly my reaction when someone recommended me the Mojo.

RE: Seagull Edge 540 - 68" (60-90) ARF New v2- Building

And you're absolutely right!
I might sound a bit negative about this plane but it's just a matter of what you're used to. I'm also a bit younger than you are I think so our ambitions are different....

RE: Seagull Edge 540 - 68" (60-90) ARF New v2- Building

Leave your Showtime in one piece and use the 91 unless you like your other plane much :-) Maybe you should swap servos of the showtime if the ones of the other plane are faster. Faster = better.

RE: Seagull Edge 540 - 68" (60-90) ARF New v2- Building

Haha, it's not that bad but I can assure you the Showtime is a much better 3D plane.

RE: Seagull Edge 540 - 68" (60-90) ARF New v2- Building

Yes, that will work very well. Use a low pitch prop and get the rpm of the engine between where the max torque and power is, so around 14000 rpm. Dono if it'll like 30% but the heli guys use 30% for...

RE: Seagull Edge 540 - 68" (60-90) ARF New v2- Building

Tom, always check an engine when it's new. It's not a guarantee the valves are OK or that some screws need to be tightened. Check before you run the engine for the first time and possibly tighten...

Check your valve clearance. A rattling sound is normal.
If the engine fails Horizon will repair it without any probs. They fixed my 150 twice for free after some abuse.

YS has a built in fuel system :-)
Saito 100 20 oz
Saito 125 22 oz
Saito 150 30 oz
+ 1 oz for the pump.

YS 110 24 oz
Has a bit more power than the Saito 125, so actually the total...

RE: Seagull Edge 540 - 68" (60-90) ARF New v2- Building

Note that there's a very big difference in usage between different nitro percentages. Nitro is an accelerator and high nitro also means richer engine setting and more nitro of course also means less...

RE: Seagull Edge 540 - 68" (60-90) ARF New v2- Building

The 3151s are sufficient for the ailerons, too light for the rudder and elevators, the Hitec 635s are more than enough for the elevators and rudder. Run them at 6 volts if your receiver can handle...

RE: Seagull Edge 540 - 68" (60-90) ARF New v2- Building

More nitro = shorter flight time.
I use 30% and get 10 minutes out of 14 oz with a Saito 100.

get yourself a YS110 with the APC 16.5x5W. $325 Run it on CP 30% heli fuel. Use a Sullivan or better a Tettra 14 oz tank and put it on the CG. This engine has more power than the Saito...

RE: Seagull Edge 540 - 68" (60-90) ARF New v2- Building

Hi Digtman

The OS is a good engine for this plane.
Prop it with an APC 16.5x5W on 15-20% fuel. It should do 9000-9200 rpm on the ground.

RE: Seagull Edge 540 - 68" (60-90) ARF New v2- Building

Why would you want 2 servos on one channel? You only want this if you eg need 5 servos on a 4-channel radio. That's why a computer radio is a good investment so you can mix...

RE: Seagull Edge 540 - 68" (60-90) ARF New v2- Building

About the thrust angle.
If your plane isn't flying straight after a minimum of trim something else is wrong.

the best way to check the thrust angle is by flying straight up. If it goes to the...

RE: Seagull Edge 540 - 68" (60-90) ARF New v2- Building

I think the APC 15x6 is the best choice for you if you have a Saito 100. 16x6 for the 125. Both fit in the TruTurn 2.5" 120-slot spinner. The screw holding the spinner has to be cut to length most of...
