Excellent choice! I've had mine for over a year now and I've finished my first maintenance task for it; replacing the Tygon fuel lines. Still no wing failure. It's still my best flier. Powered by DA-100, guided by Futaba and Hitec.

Hopefully mine will be coming at the end of this month. Just need to get home first. Mine will have a 3W106 on cans most likely. I'd like to sell the 106 and get a 110 though.

Joe,

Check post 122. Here is a picture from that post. I just built a lite servo tray to sit in the middle.

Last fall I visited Chris in North Carolina to Fly our newly finished PAU 300 SP's together. One of the planes he brought out was the PAU 36% Edge. This is the only video my son and I took while we were there. Had such a great time that we didn't even think about getting the camera out till late in the day.
This is my first attempt at editing a video and had a terrible time deciding what to leave out.
If you want to see it here it is.

It was my pleasure.
Not just windy but cold to. I'd do it again in a hart beat.

Is anyone running a DA85 and full pipe in their edge?

[plaster93]

Didn't you have a edge with a 100, Razor?

[sweetpea]

I really want to put the 3W110CS in my soon to be Edge

[Flyinrazrback]

I did have one with a 100. I would say the PAU Edge was one of my top 1 or 2 planes I have had, thus why I am considering another one. I have a new 85 and a KS1090, and do not think the 1090 will go in the plane without a lot of work, so may consider trying a can on the 85/Edge and get it below 24lbs.

Razor,

We have not none one with the tuned pipe, but I looked at the fuse bottom area, and it does not look like the modification would be so difficult.
I flew mine (with DA-100) last week-end, and the kite like feeling, after flying 50cc only for a few weeks, was fantastic. What a treat to fly the 36% again!
I did one entire flight with the throttle between 1/4 and 1/2, and it felt totally solid through rollers, 8 point rolls, rolling circles... Several other pilots though it was getting close to stalling, and yet the floaty feeling is such that it was solid for me the whole time. I personally feel no urge to get it lighter, and I like the smoothness of the 100. I really enjoy flying the Edge slow, making it look like a slow motion video.
