Edge 540 Lawn Dart

[ITSME]

I was practicing opposite landings for me today, was doing well until the last one of the day, when i was going out to make my last run at the runway, i was banking right to set up for my approach and in doing so for some reason i just kept banking right right into the ground, only thing i can figure is the DUMB THUMB effect came over me and this is all that was left, so needless to say im looking for another aiframe to stick my MLD 28 in.

Nice plane if they had any. They don't even know how much they want for them. If they had one they might I reckon. HAH ! Sorry man. I have beeen looking at planes to put a OS 1.20 four stroke in since I have had this engine for a few years and never put it in a plane.

Got any ideas on a good plane for that engine ? I'd like to glue some sticks together if I could but the only kit I can find that fits the bill is a Great Planes Extra 300S that is more suited for a .90 engine. It is only 64" but "rated" for up to 1.20 on the four strokes. I favour Extras by the way. Hopefully I can come up with something 10lbs. or less. Better less say 9lbs.

Sorry to highjack the thread. I am wondering how low you were on the final turn ? I have pulled a few boners myself. My most bestest one was my first Extra and first 1.20 size plane many moons ago. I plugged the aileron servos in backwards. I finally got a grip on the awsome roll rate (going the wrong way) and took a deep breath thinking "I got this" when I eased the stick right to bank left and pulled in a little elevator and the top wing got sliced off by a powerline. Hu-Duh.

So we can presume that the Peak Model 540 will be absent from your signature line soon

Thanks for the link i'll check into that. I honestly cant say how low i was it happened so fast, i do know i didnt have time to recover obviously, i'll just have to chalk it up to dumb luck i guess. Yeah Peak Model no mo!

Well i decided to go bigger and picked up a PAU 30% Edge fom a buddy and im stoked i did.

[Edgeman 540]

The PAU Edge is a really nice flying plane.You'll like it.

[ITSME]

Thanks! I cant wait to get this one finished and in the air. Whats also nice about this is i'll have PAU support at either field i decide to fly here.
