[Edgeman 540]

Elie, that is one nice aircraft. What are the specs on that beast?and also what is the estimated total flying weight going to be?

Hey Elie,

I am happy to see everything undamaged!! Whew, that is my biggest nightmare! Especially with these custom 60% planes with no spare parts in the US. Glad to see the new post, I am sure everyone will agree: 60% planes are Bad A$$ and are very, very,very BIG!

Wow!

ELIE! ELIE! ELIE! I am chanting for you man! That thing is HUGE! can't wait to see ya fly it this coming snap a huckfest! Good luck building! Have fun. O and your missing the most important part on your plane!! where's the SNAP A SAURUS sticker???????

[ferocious frankie]

Looks great!

[Mike Busutil]

Thats ing SWEET!

[snap a saurus]

there is gong to be 9 servo wires coming from the tail, 19 servos in total, I will do my best to keep things neat, I don't do that usually, as for the Specs, I have no idea, all I know it's big and the flying weight is going to be 99 Lbs.
The plane was perfect, those plywood shields are serving their purpose.
Mr Zang is probably already working on a graphics package, the Snap sticker will be on the cowl as usual.
:censored: yeah.

So far I got the 2 stabs done, servos, linkages extensions installed, next will be the wings.

Are two Li-Ions going to provide enough amperage for those servos?

[sweetpea]

They should. Its worked fine on Biplanes taking 17 servos and this only includes 2 more.

Also he's using a Powerbox Royale (in America that would be a Quarter Pounder Powerbox)


Wish I lived alot closer so I could take a turn riding in that plane......its huge.

Ryan, I don't expect to put 5 flights a day on that plane so if can get 2 flights on a charge and have some reserve, I should be fine, if I find out that more is needed, I will do something as I already ordered 4 of those batteries or maybe I can swap batteries after few flights or custom order larger batteries, this is a start for now but you brought a good point.

Sam, it's not only the number of servos, these large airplanes are hard on the servos and require more juice.
I am using the power box royal with 2 receivers.

Snap,

If you are gonna sticker it up like you usually do, do us all a favor and weigh all that vinyl before you put it on! You may need to find a new vinyl cutter with a larger cutter!!......

That is definately an impressive plane, congrats!

you could pull a BIG fish outta the pond with that baby!! (or just knock one out with that rudder!!)
