    91" Extra 300-EXP ARF

    No problem, lot of guys don't like piped planes, takes some getting use to and good throttle management. Typically a simple throttle curve helps. I'm finding this set up is not very touchy and once use to it, I love it. Header length is the most important part. To long of a header and your top...

    91" Extra 300-EXP ARF

    no way, i think its a great prop for this setup, I read the 24x9 rips way to bad on the 60 RE2 pipe so i went with the 10 pitch.

    91" Extra 300-EXP ARF

    Since this plane is about 20 pounds RTF, a pipe is recommended. RE2 or KS pipe works great on a 60

    91" Extra 300-EXP ARF

    Gary, mine has the Falcon 24x10 on it. But yes, its a good combo but I'm thinking the DA70 would be best.

    Pilot RC 35% (106") Extra 260

    Might want to wait on the smoke install till you fly it. Might have to put that pump way back to fix the CG.

    3DHS 74" Edge

    And it works !!! Now that I look at the pics, you need 2 paper towel roll tubes and glue them together to fit the hole of the inlet. Couldn't remember.

    3DHS 74" Edge

    Nice build and attention to detail. I put my ECS in the same location but went a little further with it. Grab a paper towel roll tube and glue it in the air inlet and direct it right over the ECS. I also opened up the cowl inlet for more air with a dremel. Mine wont even get warm. :D

    PILOT 37% Edge 540 (107") BUILD

    Oh, one issue we noticed was the CG slightly off. So Ive already sold the BIG HITEC 7980 I had back there for the rudder and picked up a Futaba BLS152 to drop some tail weight. I also had a blind nut start to strip for the stabs on assembly, so had to remove some covering on the belly to access...

    I figured you would be there Gary since I saw a post that you were going to re-maiden the 260.

    PILOT 37% Edge 540 (107") BUILD

    Thanks guys......no video yet since my bad a$$ office camera was already checked out. I meant to have someone at least take pictures but I was to excited to remember. Ive flown a lot of planes in my day, but nothing can compare to this plane. I let Jason D. take a flight on it as well to see his...

    PILOT 37% Edge 540 (107") BUILD

    Well, the weather this past Saturday was perfect so I took the Edge out for maiden. Got to say it fly's incredible and is a 3D monster, like nothing Ive ever flown before. My DA100L on a Falcon CF 27x10 pulls the plane with authority, this plane must be insane on a 120. Here are a few pics of...

    PILOT 37% Edge 540 (107") BUILD

    Pretty much got the plane done last night, just haven't been taking pics. All that's left to do is CG it, install Lipos, and fire it up. I'm thinking if this weekend is nice weather, I might maiden it Saturday afternoon or Sunday. I will post some pics later tonight.

    3DHS --FLY LOW-- Always OFF TOPIC

    90% of the time I get my hands on a DLE that's not running right or dead sticking, its not set up correctly or tuned properly. Just got to mess with them till you get them right, and run GOOD gas. :thumbup:

    I hear ya on that, I'm going to have a hard time fitting my 74 in with my new Edge I'm sure.

    PILOT 37% Edge 540 (107") BUILD

    Not much to report, had a crazy week at work.....Anyway, got the stabs all done, engine cowl drilled and mounted with 4/40 Alan screws and nylon washers. Also ran and made up my power leads for the receivers, I used some heavy duty speaker wire I already had. I ordered new lipos and all servo...
