What header drop For a 3W106 would I need for cans on this plane? 3W has 2.85" and 3.5" drop available.

Ken-H · 05-07-2008, 06:31 PM

Dan,

The DA uses 90mm so it looks like the 3-1/2" drop would be the way to go.

Thanks Ken!

Do it, Dan! I got my hands on this plane last weekend and it flew amazingly well!

Dan767 · 05-08-2008, 08:36 AM

I'm working on it!

stevep · 05-08-2008, 02:29 PM

Got mine today, UPS was kind to me and didn't damage it.
Man this thing is nice, well packed.
It will take me half of the summer to get all the rest of the stuff, I don't know if I can wait that long thou.

king160woody · 05-08-2008, 02:33 PM

Good choice steve! I've been reading on the forums and watching videos and this plane looks rock solid! Half a summer dude?! GET THAT THING UP NOW!!!

stevep · 05-08-2008, 02:40 PM

I know it's going to kill me, maybe just have to watch my savings go down.

Nogyro · 05-08-2008, 03:43 PM

Same here.....Got my 36% today, and everything was just fine. Made the poor UPS driver wait until I inspected the packages real good... He said I couldn't open them till AFTER I signed for them. HA, that's what he thinks. I had no reason to open them though. No puncture in the outer boxes.

Everything inside was safe and secure. Good job on the double packing with the plywood in between. Everything inside is fastened down real good as well and wrapped in bubble wrap. With a little luck I'll have it up and flying in a couple of weeks.

Nice guys! Your gonna luv em! Get us pics and vid!

Sam,

	Quote:
	Astrohog was out there as well but had a few motor problems so I didn't get a chance to fly his plane (I think he faked the problems so I couldn't fly his plane!).

I finally had the chance to pull my 30% Edge apart and found the source of my problem! The positive lead on the Anderson connector to my ignition had vibrated and was broken, so it was only making intermittent contact. I am soo glad that it was a simple electrical issue and not a problem with the DA!!!

I'll have her back in the air for the next flyable day here (yes, it is still raining

).

I should have my 36% ready to maiden by then, too!

I also acquired a GP Christen Eagle II that is assembled and RTF (as soon as I go through it completely to check the install out) and should be a great addition to my hangar for just flying some nice, scale aerobatics, hopefully with smoke!!

Too bad you will miss our Big Bird this year

. I am sure that once you have been to one of them, it will be on your calendar every year!!!

I cut those big connectors off all my DA's right from the start.

sweetpea · 05-10-2008, 11:42 AM

Those connectors are the worst thing made. Also they are terrible as far as resistance.

50 days and counting....
