Sweet! Maidened the EDGE!!

Hell yea!! This ones a keeper. First flight felt like the 100th flight.
Likes-
22.5 pounds built stock with a homeade gas station pilot, Mejzlik prop, aluminum tube, boat anchor Dave Brown spinner. Floats big time.

3d's its a$$ off. Not quite as stable in an upright harrier as my cap was but totally controllable.

Much more elevator authority at stall speeds than the cap. Will transition from harrier to hover without any gain of altitude.

Just a touch of pitch coupling to the canopy.

Dislikes-
Needs more rudder. I am gonna put a longer servo arm on it and see if I can fix that.

Cowl paint dont match at all.

Landing gear fairing don't fit very well. I may build another one.

I'll put some pics up in a minute.

Oh yea, setup is,
ZDZ 80RV
Supersonic pitts
Mej. 26-10
Futaba 9ch PCM
3-2400 TBM li-ions
MPI miracle switches(yea I know but they came with the plane so why not)
JR 8411 elevator
JR 8611a rudder
Futaba 9206 on wings
Futaba 9204 throttle (i think)
Futaba standard on choke.

Later
Brian

Cangrat's. Those are nice ARF's.

Nothing harriers like a CAP so I wouldn't count that as a drawback. CAP's and Edges are my favorite two 3D aerobats right now. Edge is more neutral in rolling harriers and hovering. I personally hope to always have one of each.
