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

With CA type hinges it's no big deal to cut the hinge off flush and make new slots with an Xacto knife and re-glue. I would think it would be a PITA to seal a gap that big.

With a gap that big...

Here's where I got mine. Further discount when you register and free shipping. Can't beat that. $54.77 shipped.

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

I got one of these a few weeks ago. I bought one listed as parts for $28 and $17 shipping. It had everything but the fuse. Then I bought the fuse from Advantage Hobby for $54.77 shipped free. Looking...

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

That is much heavier than Saito 1.25, YS 1.10 or a OS 1.20AX. These engines have more than enough power. Wouldn't want to add any more weight. I would put the 1.50 in a bigger model. 70" Peak Extra...

If the engine footprints are the same all you will have to do is change the fuel tubing later. The new one will drop right in.

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

Saito engines are nice. I have a .82 I bought new for $225. The only extra parts in their gasoline versions are needle bearings on each end of the con rod and an ignition. I can't justify the price...

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

My 1.20 two stroke turned that prop at about 10,600 on 15% and yeah it sounded like it was going to break in flight.

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

I'll bet a YS 1.10 would like a APC 17X4W for 3D. I had one on my 1.20 AX and it was not enough load for it. I heard good things about this prop on the Saito 1.25.

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

That engine will work in this model. Looks to be about the same as a OS .91 only a few ounces heavier. The reason it is cheaper than other engines is that it is not a ringed engine. I highly...

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

I am surprised a .90 makes it so nose heavy. I have a OS 1.20 AX. It weighs about 26 ounces with the muffler I guess. I have beefier control rods and flying wires but that should not be a big...

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

Hi Jim,
It's easier for me to place just one order for all the parts I need. It's good to have an extra cowl when you sell a model. It usually sweetens the deal.

The pieces on the right of the picture clamp to the fuselage sides after you drill a hole all the way through both sides. The pieces that look like single sided servo arms go on the ends of the metal...

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

Well I got to flight 55 today and broke the fuse pretty bad. Could be fixed but just going to order another fuse, cowl and tube. I just bought one of these on eBay for $140 and free shipping.

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

Hi Jim,

I just swapped all the gear from my 70" Extra 260 from Peak Model. I just had to make longer push rods for it. I know it is overkill but they were already on the servos. That is where I...

Hi Jim,
With the 1.20AX I used Hangar 9 ball links with 4-40 push rods. I am using a regulator with a 2000mah 2 cell Thunder Power rx pack. This battery is right behind the firewall in the...

Sorry. I meant control stick. I typed the wrong words. (I was out late celebrating the loss of my job)

Glad you decided to keep her. I like at the bottom of your post about the low wing getting the rudder. If you are in a hover and the airplane torque rolls with the belly towards you the low wing gets...

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

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

That gear is from a 1.20 Extra 260 sold by Peakmodel. It is $45 to buy it. I had the back section of the fuselage come off in flight. The gear was all I kept. I gave the wings and tail to someone who...

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

I ran mine with a 18X5 Zinger but never flew with it. I got 8500 or 8600 rpm with it but it was like a DA-50 with a 23" prop. The spool up was slow.
I also had a 17X4W prop because my LHS was out...
