lanier edge 540 & da85 - Page 8

HTSkywalker · 01-30-2008, 01:45 AM

Read a review on the DA85 in MAN magazine, this engine would be insane on the Lanier 9HP compared to the 5HP by DA50. That is a wild horse

It's reasonable for the 94" lanier, but for the 87... your insane.

Kiddo you have a problem not only in writing english but also in understanding it. I meant in my thread what u just said !!! so leave your insults outside this thread. BD I am leaving this shouting match as well

This is the lanier 87" thread...

Have fun

HTSkywalker,

My friend has the 87 Edge with a 3W60, and it checks in at 18lbs with stock tube, and landing gear. No weight saving mods were done. Flys with no wing rock, and powers out hover. I think balance will be an issue with a DA50 or DL50. If you know AeroLou, email him and ask him about the edge.

If it were me, I would look for a good runnign 3W60, or ZDZ60 and have some fun with it.

The Brillelli 366GT would be another possibility, but again with the balance issue... pull-pull would be required... etc..

BTW.. That's my Peakmodels Yak with the DL50 in the video posted in this thread.

Thanks for the info, do you think quality build and reliability wise the 3W can match the DA ? I was thinking in the 60cc or 58cc (EVO in this case) but warnings keep coming when you divert from the DA

HTSkywalker · 01-31-2008, 03:38 AM

3" standoffs can help well in balancing the DA50 as well

Wild Thang · 01-31-2008, 04:23 AM

The Lanier should come with spacers. If not, just go to ace and buy some washers. Allways make the engine fit to your cowl perfectly then move stuff inside the plane. Some guys just add led but it's not nessesary if you make re-arrangements.

HTSkywalker · 01-31-2008, 05:15 AM

Are you saying that the 3" would make the engine extend outside the cowl ?

frieshoo · 01-31-2008, 10:03 AM

To mount a DA50 on the 87 edge, you will need 2 1/2 inch standoffs.

Well most planes use a 2.5 inch standoff with a DA-50 or DL-50 (same engine). Washers just give you the perfect alignment with the spinner and the cowling. Make sure you use equal amounts on each stand off if you even need to use them at all.

hi guys,

I have the lanier yak with an evo 58 and have the lanier edge 87" as well, I have another evo 58 to put on the edge. I have flown the yak with the evo 58, plenty of power. with a 24x10 tbm prop I am getting 6750 rpm.. can't remember the temp but I am at 900 feet. enjoy the edge, they are a good deal. alot of people are getting the rtf in the 18lb range without going carbon.
