Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”
The bigger question is did he do the 3D American flag himself or did the man, the myth, the legend, Gator do it for him. I intend to do the flag scheme at some point.- BalsaDust

Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”
Good to no. Very possible my buddy just got a dud that wouldn’t perform right. I have seen it with all of them and sometimes you get one that is strong as heck. My last dle 20 I had for the longest time felt like crap. Ran well but just not a lot of power. Mind you it was on a 8-1/2 pound plane...- BalsaDust

Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”
A buddy of mine tried the rcgf 26. Things he noted. Wider crankcase so you have to widen the motor mount a bit. Made good power but didn’t handle being thrown around in 3D like the others. Basically came to the conclusion it was fine for planes flying scale or even scale aerobatics but when...- BalsaDust

Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”
If looking for a metric sized wing tube then look for at least a 19mm OD tube. Smaller might be fine if you just plan to do low and slow stuff but if this plane flys as it should and it should it will be much like the other versions of the glitter and will be able to really WAD up tight doing...- BalsaDust

That will work. Don’t use fiberglass for the wing tube though. It needs to be aluminum or carbon fiber.- BalsaDust

Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”
Once I find the template another guy had posted for his landing gear I will share it but I know it was 1/8” thick and he had cut it at a taper so needs to be around 1-1/2” at the tube. The tubes I have I bought from a buddy who was selling all of his stuff. I would advise before drilling those...- BalsaDust

Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”
option 1 for a tube if going for carbon fiber. 16mm is just ever so slightly bigger than a 5/8" tube. You would have to adjust the slot in the motor mount ever so slightly. only adjust on the bottom of the slot as the top of the tube is already designed to have the wing tube phenolic in the fuse...- BalsaDust

Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”
As I have it designed the landing gear is to be made of aluminum flat stock but you can do wire gear if you prefer. Choices on the tube is all up to the builder. you can go with a cheap 5/8" aluminum tube if you want from lowes or home depot. Down side is in a hard dork it will bend and you will...- BalsaDust

The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread
Emailed both of you sets of the plans. Also in respect to the plans choose your own way of bolting on the wings. I normally go through a hatch in the wing with a single bolt passing all the way through to a blind nut in the other wing. When I drew these plans the guy that was itching to build it...- BalsaDust
