Congrats, it still looks sharp.

Having left my Edge in the sun for extend periods of time at Joe Nall the canopy sunk-in at the top. Whats the cost for replacement? Is there any way to heat and pop it back out? I have pushed the dimbles out from the interior, but they pop back-in. Any suggestions. As its glue-on very well, I,d rather not remove it, if it is possible to repair. OPEN to suggestions. <RUTNBUC>

Not much you can do for lexan that has basically melted in. Tinted canopies are hit the hardest as they tend to soak up the heat (dark color). I always try to put a towel or cover over my tinted canopies for just that reason.......regardless of the state I'm in or the temp outside.

You could try a heat gun but it will most likely distort it more.

Ditto on the towel, I usually throw something over the canopy to stop it baking.

I did use a dark green blanket to cover, and when I pulled it back for a flight, DAMMN it was too late. You live and learn. It happen on my 37.5% TT TOC Yak also. DAMMN BURNED twice in the same time frame. <RUTNBUC>

Dark=HOT!

Try a white blanket next time......light colors reflect the light

Any recommendations on the best fitting Carbon Fiber landing gear for the 36% Edge?

Switching mine over to canister exhaust next week and would like to compensate for the added weight. I don't want to give up any ground clearance. I hate using a 28x10 Mejlick CF for a weed wacker!

Still flying great and holding up well after 100+ flights!

Here are a couple pics that David Mahan sent me of Ken rocking the 36% with a DA-85 at Bellair Big Birds a couple weeks ago. Nice flying Ken, and thanks for the pictures David!

Here are some pics of the Edge I've been building. It's an awesome looking plane, and I can't wait to get it in the air. Some of the things I've done to it along the way are fuel proof the motor box/firewall with thinned down epoxy. I pinned the firewall all around, and used some monokote to seal off the cannister tunnel (a Ken-ification). I'll be using smoke in this one so I'll be sealing off both sides of all the hinges with clear ultracote to help protect the pin hinges.

Equipment is:

DA-100 on MTW cans
Dual 5200 mah Li-Ion's and Fromeco Regs
SmartFly power expander
Fromeco Wolverine Switch
Jr HD switch and 2100mah Nimh on ignition
2x 32 Oz tanks
Sullivan Skywriter
Hitec 5955's all around, single 8711 on the rudder.
Spektrum Receiver

My goal is to have it finished by this coming 4th July weekend. I better stop typing and get back to work!
