    Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”

    Got the incidence set on both wings at zero. I put some anti-rotation dowels in. I'm using some old hatch doors off of a ProX 260 that went in some years ago. I'm going with both wings so I can separate the batteries and equipment equally.

    Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”

    got the tubes glued in. I'll set the incidence and drill the holes for the wing mounts next. I stole one of my wifes nail files to properly fit the horizontal stab above the tube.

    Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”

    Hey snoop, I'm taking my time as much as possible. Hopefully this lockdown stuff will end soon. One good thing about no school is I can use the parking lot to get some flying in!!

    Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”

    finished up a few more details on the wing panel before setting it aside and starting on the other. I added some doublers for the hinges, as well as an anti rotation pin block, and some doublers for the servo opening. I also got the aileron built.

    Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”

    Got the tube doublers cut and installed. Also got the wire access done in the ribs. The tube is just set in place, as I will not glue it in until I mount the wings on the fuse and make sure the tube is exactly where it needs to be, then I'll glue the top sheeting on. This one is about ready to...

    That info helps!! Thanks Balsa! One more question here, did you add any re-enforcement around the wing tube, or just use the ribs?? Thanks

    Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”

    Thanks Snoop!! I know I'm probably making a few mistakes on this one. The next one will be better, once I figure out every thing I need to change on this build. I'm in the process of putting together an assembly manual, to work every thing out. I'm hoping to at least keep it below 7.5 lbs. If I...

    Decided to go with 1/8" X 4" balsa sheer webbing.

    Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”

    Thanks Balsa! I was thinking about that once I put that trailing edge piece on! I'm using 1/16" sheeting, and was thinking I should have used something a tad thicker. 1/16 is a bit soft. What is recommended?

    Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”

    Changed my other mind! I'm going to leave the SFG's off of this one and go with stock wings. Working on wing #1, or the right wing, and got ahead of myself. I didn't open up rib 1 and 2 for wire access, but It's not a big deal to dermal them out now. Now I just have to configure the equipment...
