Nice pictures of the spinner. Im thinking of trying one out myself on my new 260.(What to paint it white thou, too match the plane) From the info ive gotten, they seem really light.

That's cool, thanks I really need to slow down and type slower.... I meant inside shots of the fuse. I'd like to see your install and batt location.

They are just in the standard locations, balance came out right on the nose with a Xoar laminated prop.

Hey Super08 looks great . When is the maiden? Did you run the vent through the fuse or the cowl? I like the spinner, I went with a black Tru Turn. For sum reason this "build" is taking me longer than normal. I just cant seem to find the time to get this on one done.

That's sweet, where is your CG with the smartfly and battery placement? Oh and it's a DA100 right?

My CG came out exactly where Aeroworks recommends it to be as is. The engine is a DLE111 with stock mufflers.

You do know you can cut that fiber-optic stuff to length, right? I'd actually be a little concerned that you would fracture it with that tight of a radius wrapped around the wing tube there.

Yes, but I decided to leave it long incase it ends up in another plane. the radius isn't that tight as it looks. I have been flying a Yak for a year now with no signs of trouble.

Guys, do we have anyone here that can tell us about how the AW Edge performance could be compared to AW Extra 300, 260 and the AW Yak, all 100cc?

Aileron linkages a bit short. What has other builders substituted with?

I used the aileron rods on the elevator and bought some links for the ailerons...

Simple answer, Yes. It F'n Rocks. I have the 540 and my buddy has both the YAK and the 300 and all three are awesome
