Congratulation Ken, very nice, I can't wait to finish my 43% Edge and fly it.

My 36% should be ready for a maiden this weekend. Will post some completed pics when done. FYI, the Graphtech #222 CF main gear and the rcsupergear for a carden 40% edge is the same fit as the stock aluminum gear and save about 4oz. I ordered rcsupergear from Carden for mine. I am really happy with how the plane is turning out so far, and have had great service from PAU. My wings came damaged and they got me a set right back out to me in no time flat. My setup is going to be a DA 100, Vess 27A, stock mufflers, 8711s in the wings and tail, and a single 8711 on the rudder, dual A123 batts and a EQ 10. I will get an accurate weight as well.

Part 2 of the DA-85 install. The header is now finally installed and I needed to cut about a 1/2" off of it. Although not necessary, I also cut out some of the firewall to make access to the carb a little easier. Trimmed the cowling as shown and it still needs a little touching up, but its pretty much done. All in all, it still looks pretty clean even with the 85. Ken

Hi Charles, My 36% Edge just arrived yesterday and I am trying to decide between the 3W106 and the DA100. My buddy Warren out in Vegas swears by the 3W. Others swear by the DA. I have a 3W50QS on a QQ Yak that runs great. Sounds like you are a 3W106 fan. Why the DA this time? Thanks, Rick |

I have no brand loyalties and fly about everything. I have not flown a DA in some time and figured I would try another 100 on this plane as I have always had good luck with them in the past. I have also had good luck with my 3Ws in the past as well, so really just a change this time. Plus, the guys out at DA are awesome to work with.
