PAU 36% Edge 540 Build

[JohnVH]

kick ass vid whipper! Your rocking that thing! Ahhh the sweet sweet sound of a DA on stock mufflers, yum!

[Whipper]

Thank you John!! At this flying field we dont have to worry about noise, but we only got a 300' ceiling. So straight line hucking is really hard to do. But it gives us plenty of time to practice our 3d skills With this plane, low and slow is easy to do. I love the rollers too, it does them slow enough for me to keep up with them.
This plane is an A+ for all out 3d mayhem I could only imagine what it would be like with a DA 85 on it. Mine floats like a foamy now!

[JohnVH]

Plane is more fun with the DA100 IMO! But what do I know.. lol.. No noise issues here either, thats why my Ultimate has the stock mufflers on it, as will my next DA150 plane.

Thanks for sharing!

[Whipper]

I would have to agree with ya there John, IMO nothing quite like a DA 100. This is my second one and ive had no problems with either of em. I'll have to live threw you the DA 150 experiance for im space challanged to own something that big

Whipper,

Thanks for sharing this great video with us. This lane is so smooth, it makes it look like the video is in slow motion!
These big Edges (36% and 43%) are a blast to fly! I also fly my 36%with with a DA-100 on standard mufflers.

Very nice skills Whipper! Thanks for posting that video, really enjoyed that. I fly the snot out of mine with the DA-85 and it very hard to tell the difference between the two. But the smoothness and lower noise levels of the DA-100 are hard to beat.

Islandflyer2 and Ken, Thank you very much!!!

All I can say is, WOW!!! This bird kicks !!!!! You guys did an awesome job on this one. If anyone is looking for a light, all out 3d plane this one is it!! Ive been quite happy with the looks and durability of this plane. Keep em coming guys!!

Mike

Ps. One of the guys up here also has one of your 43%'rs and he finnally got to maiden it. Says its like a giant foamy

[JohnVH]

The 43% is one of the funnest big planes I have flown, instantly comfortable wringing it out, I must have one. PAU does an awesome job on all their aircraft! *clap clap clap*

[Whipper]

Amen to that John

Actually I was wondering if PAU had any plans to do another type of airframe? If you guys made an Extra 260 35%~ that weighed in like the Edge id be ALL over that. *hint*hint* hehe

Keep up the good work!

Mike

Hey Dan did it fly?

[Dan767]

Did it fly? Yes it did! All I can say is WOW. Had I just left the elevator trim centered when I set the plane up I would not have needed any trim at all!. This plane rocks, to say the least. I had to wait on two Super Cubs (full scale) to land before I could fly (I was at Snohomish, wind blowing, no jacket, shorts, ten degress cooler than home and a little convergence zone action with the wind, watching my plane get blown all over the sky while doing stall turns.) I'm impressed with this plane. I didn't take the time to fly using high rates, I was having such a good time with low. Will try and get to the field ASAP to fly more. Rolls are axial and I don't think I'll need any differential. Inverted 45 on the uplines were neutral, and I may have to move the CG forward. Removing my ten pound pilot figure will resolve that issue. Still smiling!

[JohnVH]

Awesome, told you so! :P What was going on in snoho?

[Dan767]

I was told by one of the Super Cub pilots there will be a fly-in this weekend.
The only other RC type out there was a young man named Garret, that flew the daylight out his little Twist. He got a ride in a Cub with Tundra tires, pilot said he was from Texas. Cub pilot was rather stand off-ish to me. He asked my if my model was an Extra, told him it was an Edge. His reply: Ahhh flip-flop, they're all the same!

[Flyfalcons]

Dan, that's when you ask that pilot if his plane is an Aeronca Champ, and then say ah flip flop, all those old planes are the same. That should make him happy. Congrats on the maiden by the way!

[JohnVH]

haha, also tell him that his little cub would fit inside your plane. hahaahah (I might be flying a cub btw)
