Just got it done. 28% Edge 540. its equipped with 3W60 rear carb, Johnson pitts style muffler, JR 8611 on rudder, 8411's on elevators and ailerons, digital on throttle and standard on choke, MPI switches, Fromeco 2300 on ignition and 4400 on receiver both with regulators, all Rocket City hardware, True Turn spinner. All out weight ready to fly is..........19lbs. drats. But the 3W60 is 2 lbs heavier than a DA 50 or the like. I think it will fly OK. Just wish it was a little lighter, but not sure if the money for CF tube and gear and spinner would be worth it. Still have snow on the ground up here so the maiden flight will be a few weeks away. Still working on a graphics package for it and will post pics when I'm done.

Brad,my Special flew fine with the 60 she will not float in like the DA powered bird's but you will enjoy the power. Good luck with the maiden.

I know how you feel. Still snow on the ground over here in Wisconsin Rapids Im still in need of parts myself but the plan is to have the field ready the same day as the plane so i dont have to stair at this bird while the fiels is unavailable wallmart may not like me ussing there parking lot as a runway.

nice!!! post some pics!!!! I already got about 1 1/2 gallons on it it only 3 weekends of flying!!!!! once you fly it you will not want to stop,,, I put 15 flights last sunday on mine of like 10 to 15 min each!!!,, you will want to refuel and go up again!!!!


oohh and for the batteries the 2300mha on receiver it plenty I could have put another 10 + flight on it it went down from 7.84v to 7.23v and you could fly til it 6.9v so it's plenty!!!! and only 3oz
good luck!!!
