X-RAY VISION

I can't say anything about the way this plane flys that hasn't already been said about the 84". It's the same beast with a new skin. Everyone at the field loved the new trim scheme.
It does everything well and has no bad habits.
It's a Wildhare Edge, nuff said

Tommy just got my wild hare 88" edge monday and everything is going together nicely.. what did yours weigh when you were finished with the plane.. Any other things to improve the plane or suggestions are very helpful. Thanks, Wayne

This is by far one of the easiest arfs i have ever built worked on it for 2 hours last night and 6 today engine mounted,linkages done,everything installed except the cowl, and a few servos to install, which if i had would be installed, everything from the hardware pack was used, nice material on everything linkages,control,everything top notch. 11th plane i have built, best construction by far of anything i have ever built. Hope the snow melts soon for the maiden. If your looking for a 50cc arf definitely look at Wild Hare. P.S. Wish they includede a few Hare stickers..

I'm thinking about getting the 88" Edge and powering it with a BME 50. Would that be a good engine for the airframe?

Waynesworld

dont know a whole lot about the bme 50 but im sure it would be fine in this plane. I have a toc 30% yak and the wild hare 88" edge and run dl 50's on both, plenty of power.

rctom

The BME-50 should work fine, it's got decent power and isn't realy heavy.

DO you have the new 88"' edge? How are the harriers, any wing rock?

rctom

I do not have them right now but there is a shipment leaving China on the 20th, which should be here about Feb. 15.

Wing rock should be minimal, this plane uses the same modified tail layout that works very well on all our other planes.

If flown coreectly neither the 28 or 35% Edge have any wing rock at all. The 88" should not be any different.

What does the underside look like? And does it really weigh between 16 and 17 lbs? I see aeroworks always says lower than it really is. Their planes are historically always heavy.

hobdean

My Feedback: (11)

You never did resond how much it weigh?

rctom

The spec'd weight is 16.5 to 17. One guy on here reported 14 lbs. 10 oz. I am skeptical about that, but make one <17 lbs. should not be a big trick.

Thanks for the pics nice looking plane.
Could someone please give me the width of the main gear, height from ground to top of cowl, top of canopy, top of tail and width of horizontal stab?
Oh yes and height of the main gear?
Would it be feasible to remove the main gear for transport and then install it once at the field?
I sold my trailer but, my car's back seat is removable.
Thanks

rctom

I can't give you thise dimensions, I don't have one here right now. Maybe somebody else will chime in.

When I want to make the gear easy to remove, I install the bolts pointing downwards from inside then put a nut on each one on the outside bottom, holding it in place without the gear. Then you can slip the gear over the 4 bolts and secure the gear with wing nuts. To remove just spin off the wing nuts and go home.

Hobdean here are your measurements. width main gear 25 1/2" outside to outside wheel height from ground to top of cowl 20 1/2" height to top canopy 22 1/2" top of tail 22 1/2" width of horizontal stab 33" height of main gear 10.25"

Thanks for the measurements. I either take the main gear off for transport or buy a trailer. Took a break from flying gas and have been flying foamys for a few years. Man how time passes fast when your having fun! Waiting for a couple of people to who actually owns one to to tell me their overall weight and their set up before I pull the trigger.

Waynesworld

Over all weight is 16.3 lbs

My Edge with DA50 and canister exhaust system weighed 16lbs 10ozs. Ready to fly less fuel. Very nice airplane indeed.
Thanks
Barry

rctom

OK there you have it, under 17 with a canister setup, just over 16 otherwise.

Sounds like a great plane.
What length motor stand offs are you using for the DA or DL ? I think the DL requires a 1/8 longer stand off.
Does anyone have a video?

Waynesworld

maidened the edge yesterday, what a great flying plane!!!! Hands off flying after takeoff, no adjustments needed what so ever. 15th plane i have maidened and by far the best all around flying plane.
