33% Edge PCM Lockout......... Bye Bye Edge

[king160woody]

lol... it wasnt that #8... thats the only chanch the plane had to save itself.. if it woulda had a #3 & #8, it woulda been in one piece still

[Bunky F. Knuckle]

I like Woody's way of thinking!!! #3 all the way, baby!!! But seriously, dude, that just sucks ass balls!!!! I remember seeing you fly that thing when I was in Tulsa, last year. You always had a smile on your face after flying that thing! Cheer up, and once you get a few extra $$$, look into the Aviation Models stuff. Good quality, or even the DR Hobbies stuff! All composite, like the CA stuff. Your 85 will fit in either of them just fine!! Did I notice a gamaged jug on your 85?? It might be possible to fix it, but maybe not likely. Send that dude into where you bought it from, and have it serviced. Tell them you would like to have teh motor checked out, and serviced. They will go in and clean the carbon off the pistons, and inside the cyl's. Check teh crank, to see if it has slipped. And test run it, and it'll be back to you in about no time flat!!!

Bummer, dude! I would maybe look into changing freq's???

Dude I forgot about that!! thanks for the pics..

Jim: I see you got a pic of my backup bird on your Avatar! We need to talk!

not sure if #8 brought her down but it sure was nasty!

Chris: The motor is getting sent back to Aircraft Int. I'm having it totally rebuilt, I might sell it. The Edge was a great bird but not the best, It had a time stamp in there some where, Just wish I could have brought the bird to its DEATH. (I'm sure my buddy does too!)

Here is the Plan: Jim has got a 2.6 comp arf and a 106 for me!! That will get me back up soon.. Once I get my motor back I will probably get the Aviation Models or the Aeroworks 33% yak when it comes out for the 85 B2. I see it better in the long run! Just bad timing. Thanks guys for all the support. Later Chris

Chris:

Sorry to hear about lockout. Unlike dubm thumbs, dead sticks, radio failure is and has been always like a murder unsolved. It does not bring closure. You just can't do the shoulder shrug and joke about radio failure and that dumbfound blank stare lingers on.

But remember that because of these actual radio failures, most of us can blame radio failure for occational stupidity crashes.

Cheeer up!!


We also know that planes are like buying a stock at all time high and on its purpetual slide in its worth and sometimes it depreciates in value and sometimes the company goes bankrupt.
