RE: Seagull Edge 540 - 68

The bottom rear of the cowl was opened up pretty good. If memory serves me, I bet it was at least a 2x3 cutout in front of the lg. I only needed a small hole to poke the exhaust pipe out from....

RE: Seagull Edge 540 - 68

Try a 15x6 to start.... make sure you properly break in the motor and run it rich for a good number of flights before you do any testing. You will have to turn a minimum of 9000 rpm to provide...
