PAU 36% Edge 540 Build

CSpaced;

I think that you will find that the DA-100 on cans is a good choice. Your electrical setup sounds great, maybe a bit large on the ignition battery. My ignition battery is a 1600 and I can fly all day on it. Your servo choice should be fine as well.

You are really going to like the way this aircraft flies. I just completed by sixth gallon of fuel through mine with a DA-100, so my motor is broken in now. As for the aircraft, it just keeps getting better and better.

The battery choice was due to what I had around the shop, the nice thing is that my DA-100 is already broken in

Looks good! I put 4 flights on mine today, powered with a DA100 on stock mufflers using Spektrum guidance. My new favorite plane to fly!

You finally picked one up?

I may have to get one now also......or just hold off for the Extra 300 if it comes out

[JohnVH]

ya, got it wed. flew it today a bunch. I <3 it

I recently switch my prop from the PAU 27x10 to a Xoar 25x12x3. It has a DL100 with DL cans, it was getting 6100 rpm with the 2 blade when I switched (produced 94 db). The 3 blade spins at 5900 and produces 88 db. It still has unlimited verticle and slows down nice, smooth response, it does not spool up as quick as the 2 blade though. I have about 2 flights with the 3 blade, it seems to be a good setup so far.

John congrat's on the maiden.

That 3 Blade sounds great for IMAC

[JohnVH]

I have an old PAU 28" 3DB on mine, it works well.

Thanks Anthony, Ill get some pics and vid this weekend Im sure.

[Oilsands]

The 3 blade seems good so far, but then again I only got 2 flights with this prop so far. Hoping to get a lot more flights this weekend, will be able to tell better than but so far it looks promising. Hoping to get some photo's of it flying as well.

[JohnVH]

well, the 3 blade wont perform as good as the two, but Im sure will work well for imac. I have no noise issues at my field, so Im stock mufflering it with a two blade. I LOVE that sound!

[harv]

it takes some time to get used to a 3 blade, but im using a 3 blade on my 40% for 3d an imac and its great.

When it is time for me to purchase a new 100cc plane, this sucker is it.
I absolutely love the colors and look.
Everything that I read says it is an awsome performer.
I tried to buy this plane when I was buying my 35%er and it was out of stock ( for a long time ).
I couldn't wait any longer and bought a Hangar 9 35% Extra 260.
It is an awsome flying plane, but there is just something about the 36% PAU Edge that gives me a WOODY.

[Oilsands]

I don't have any noise issues at the local field here as well, but for an IMAC plane I wanted it to be quiet but also to still have some power as well. With the 3 blade so far, it seems to cover them all. It does still rip the prop at wot level flight, which I did not think it would do. The other DL I have has the TBM compact mufflers on it with a 27x10. The TBM gets rid of the high pitched bark and turns it into a lower pitch bark. I have a ZDZ rv with Jtec's double snuffler muffler, now that has a very nice low growl pitched sound. I will probally put that back into the 33% Extra 330L, once I get a new Ultimate (I will put the DL back in that one).

2robinhood, I know what you mean. I love the colors and like you said, there is just something about this plane that appealling. You will also be very pleased with PAU, great company, great products, great people and great service!

Ok everyone......I have put this plane together and am now working on the cowl.
I have the DA100 installed and have the DA Compact Mufflers.
I have cut out the cowl for the airflow and two holes for the mufflers to hang down.

Problem is, the cowling will not fit or slide onto the plane over the motor and mufflers.

HOW, did you all get around this problem????

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks
Terry

I believe you have to cut the cowl ring in order for it to fit. I'm using cannisters so I don't have that issue....
