2.6m Edge 540T
After a lot of going back and forth I finally decided on a 100cc airplane. I chose the X-treme Composite Edge 540T which is being distributed by BVMprops. I literally bombarded Dave Shulman with questions about this airplane and he was very gracious about it, answering all my email questions the same day. He actually flies the Edge so it was nice getting input from the pilot of one of these airplanes.
I plan on running a DA-100 on it with cans (not sure which ones yet), two 8611a's on the rudder, and hitec 5955's everywhere else (two per aileron). I want to put a removeable smoke system in there too, I've yet to decide which one though.
I am going to take my time with putting it together, partially because I still have to get all of the other components in and partially because I want to do it right. This is my first composite airplane and first airplane of this size, so I want to get it right. I will post updates and pics as I progress.
The box arrived a couple of days after it was shipped, and everything was undamaged and in pristine condition. I was very impressed with the airplane, I was grinning from ear to ear as I was checking out the quality of it. My friend has a Comp-Arf 2.6m Extra and the quality was indistinguishable between the two airplanes. I'm looking forward to getting it together!
