PAU 36% Edge 540 Build - Page 4

Nice, a great day of flying today and now I can get back to the assembly!

There are two switch locations on the forward part of the fuse. They'll both accept HD standard switches. For the wolverine I had to do a little hacking but worth the results. Fuel dot now installed.

Now it's time to add more sweetness, the DA-100. As mentioned before, the firewall is pre-marked so you'll just need to center your motor in the "+". Take a ruler and draw a line across the entire firewall for the thrust line and offset center line.

I drew out the template and taped it on the firewall as shown and drilled the holes for the 1/4-20's. We'll be providing a template for the DA-100. You will need 1-1/4" standoffs for the 100, and four 1/4-20 x 2-1/2" long. Now that I have the motor mounted, I'll mark the locations for the fuel line and throttle push rod remove motor and drill those locations and reinstall motor.

Is there right thrust already built into the cowling and firewall? Also, where is the recomended CG? Looking good!

If your install canisters with a twin, then you'll will just need to open the bottom of the cowl like shown to vent the engine compartment. Stock exhaust or the DA-85, we're going to need to do some more work. Since this customer went with cans, we're done here

Absolutely! The cowl has it built in as well. CG is 7" back.

Flyinrazrback · 01-13-2008, 08:57 PM

7" from the root or the tips? UPS says I will have mine tomorrow, hope UPS doesn't smash it!

Ken-H · 01-13-2008, 08:59 PM

Doesn't matter, it's an Edge!

Flyinrazrback · 01-13-2008, 09:04 PM

Forgot about that, is 7" the starting point or optimum for 3D?

Ken-H · 01-13-2008, 09:05 PM

I mean the CG that is. UPS is another story. We've only had one damaged and it was pure negligence on the part of UPS.

We'll...that's really user preference. 7" is a nice balance between 3d and precision.
