43% PAU edge 540! you intrested?

[sweetpea]

I've flown the 35% and it was amazing.

I've seen the 43% fly in person and it did everything that was asked of it.

[JohnVH]

On the 43% use what the manual recommends!

I have flown them all, and they all rock. I love the 43%!

[3-d flyer]

Marciano, first off good luck w/ the plane! I am glad it reached you in one piece.... Personally I was going to use 3 servos per Aileron as well.... Those Ailerons are BIG!! Herve did insist 3 was the way to go on this one......
Looking forward to seeing some build photos! Enjoy!!
For anyone who cares.... I sold my plane to Marciano, only because i decided to do a BH 50% Edge...... Marciano had a want ad out for one of these and since it was NIB and i had a buyer i decided to part w it for now.... Otherwise i would have used it to back up my Extra..... This plane WAS and IS Awesome, VERY complete ARF, anyone interested in this plane when they are available again, i would jump on it.... If i do something stupid w/ my extra this season, as of now this would be my replacement airframe without a doubt......

USE 3 SERVOS

I tried two servos and it's not a good idea. The snaps are much crisper with 3 servos. The only thing I could even think of changing is maybe going with a carbon fiber landing gear to drop a little weight. Other than that the suckers about perfect.

I flew mine with the new foam core wings last weekend and it still flies great.

I don't have smoke on it yet, I'm going to wait until I get my DA 170 before I put the smoke system in. With the new foam core wings the plane weighs 41 lbs, with the built up wings it was 38.5 lbs.

[marciano amaral]

what you you think about DA 170,,is too big for this plane ,, i spook with some guys from PAU they dont recomend DA 170 on palne...
do you know when they come out with 170 .. i woud like to have one to ,,,

The plane was really designed for the 150, however I happen to fly at 4200 feet in elevation at my field and will be trying the 170 on the Edge. I have a 170 coming in a few weeks, DA is currently taking pre-orders for them and they should be shipping to customers by the end of the month.

Do you have foam or built up wings for your Edge?
What altitude do you fly?
Are you running a smoke system?
Are you going to run cannisters or tuned pipes?

There is not a particular problem with the DA-170 in the 43% Edge, as long as you manage the throttle appropriately. The potential problems do not come from the power of the engine: problems come from how and when that power is used.
Macanaw often flies at an altitude where the engines don't make their normal power, so he needs a little power reserve.
I fly at sea level, and in spite of the heat (Hawaii), I have no need for power beyond the DA-150.

Again, this is all a matter of responsible throttle management. The PAU Edge is a large 3D/aerobatic plane, and cannot be flown like a Red Bull racer or a small 60 size plane.

Wish they would offer a couple different color schemes, then I would consider it.

[62dal]

To those of you that have flown this plane, At what CG does it
preform 3_D The best, I plan to maiden mine tomorrow.

Thanks,

[Flyfalcons]

62, start with 8" and adjust to your style from there. The factory plane I flew was at the recommended CG and flew great in my opinion. However, everyone has their own personal taste. The further back the better for 3D, with a slight tradeoff in stability and coupling. Mine will be set up for 8" when I maiden it. Good luck with your first flights tomorrow!
