My current Edge


Finally have Edge 3 about where I want it. Still using Omega 130g on 3s 2200 30c or 40c batteries. Castle Thunderbird 54 ESC and Hobbywing 8amp UBEC turning an APC 14x7E prop. I now have Savox 0255 digital MG servos all around. Stock wire gear with 2.5 inch Du-Bro Wheels and a tensioner from axle to axle. Nice set of graphics for a touch of bling. The plane now has 190 flights on it and I love it more each time it flies.

25 more flights added and I am very happy with this plane. The Savox servos are great and well worth the extra few dollars and slight increase in weight. Still using the Omega 130 motor that now has close to 300 flights in the 48" Edges.

Edge #3 met a tragic end a few weeks back when the rudder servo began flapping back and forth full range in mid flight. Nosed in from about 15 feet after a 3 minute fight to get it down safe. So I finally replaced the motor box on Edge #2 repaired and reinforced the side plates and two broken formers. Re-maiden was 10/10/12 all is well again in my little RC world.

I am now on Edge 4 yet another orange one. Edge 3 survived over 200 flights before having a rudder servo lock up at full left deflection about 20 feet up.
