    74" Skyline Corvus

    OK I unpacked the kit last night and will try to post pics later tonight. The horizonal is bolted not glued and it uses the flat hinges that have pins. The slits are done but noticed the gap between control surfaces seems much bigger than the 3DHS bird. Im wondering if I should ditch the flat...

    74" Skyline Corvus

    I will get a bunch when I get ready to build it, maybe this weekend if things go right. The manuals I found online are a mix of Yak, sbach, extra, etc but I guess they figure if you have put a plane together you can figure it out. I dont have too many parts left over from the edge but I will...

    74" Skyline Corvus

    I got the kit in the mail, looks like a very nice kit, good hardware, etc but I havent found anything online about anyone building or flying one. The wings and fuse seem heavier than the 74 Edge but other than that its hard to say what it will fly like or how well it will go together. No...

    74" Edge 540

    I'm on the list for the edge and slick. In the meantime I bought a cheap skyline kit from general hobby to play with. The 92 inch would be nice but I need the only kidney I have left.

    74" Skyline Corvus

    I lost my 3DHS 74 Edge and they are out of stock so I bought a cheaper kit from General Hobby. Has anyone built or flown one of these? I have a DLE35 and a 4330 8s motorfly but would rather run gas if I can...

    74" Edge 540

    Hey, what are yu doing i front of my house?:thumbup: I'm about 3 days from getting my Edge fitting and flying on a DLE35. I liked the motorfly 4330 on 8S but run times of 5 minutes could have been better.

    Gailforce winds is more like it. Got back home and the weather was perfect. Flew edfs and my rvjet. The winds made Pat an expert in the patterns, I've never seen his take offs and landings so good!

    3D Nater, I stacked my 3DHS 41 Edge, was looking at the aerobeez EPP like yours, do they fly as nice as the basla covered kits?

    I use a 100 ICE on my MF 4330, works great but was told by MF not to use the Edge100.

    Spektrum DX9

    The manual shows all the screws to turn, my DX9 came loose and I had to start cranking down on the screws but you will need to pull the rubber grips off and the small rubber covers shown in the manual. I have the DX8 and DX9, both are great but hands down the 9 and the wireless trainer makes it...

    3DHS and Extreme Flight Merger?

    If someone is in need of a SXV450 I have one that's for sale. v-twin fuel injected 60hp supermoto. I also have a gsxr1000 I picked up and was thinking about making it track only but it has a pink slip if someone wanted to put it back on the street. Needs bodywork. The SXV450 just needs tone...

    74" Edge 540

    I ended up using the batteries at 6inches and they work pretty good, I bought some Zippy 4000mah that I can try this weekend. I ran them through the icharger and they are truly 3995-4120 mah.

    3DHS and Extreme Flight Merger?

    Up until today I didnt know EF sold a electric 7X inch Edge 540, but I wanted to look before I opened my mouth and says "soon" I love my 3dhs 74, the price is right and it can do way more than I can.

    ChinaHobby Batteries

    I haven't hooked up telemetry, just a watt meter. If you look at the weights of the batteries they are right in line with weights of smaller batteries. The 4000 weighs about the same as the 3600 and that's about what you get. I get 4 minutes on the 4000, and 5 minutes on the 4500 in my 3DHS...

    ChinaHobby Batteries

    I finally had a chance to test the smaller 3s 1500mah batteries I ordered, they show 1270-1280 on the 5 cycles I ran them through. The IR is always more for smaller batteries, but these were 11-7 on the cells for both batteries.

    74" Edge 540

    I need to find out the proper weight needed up front to get me closer to 5 inches, I've never seen anyone use 5000mah on the 8s setup so I wonder if it's somehing I'm missing, all the servos are using the stock arms except the rudder which uses the sea-craft one. The ESC and Bec are under the...

    74" Edge 540

    The nose dropped slightly when I rolled it on its back, I havent tried the 45 degree upline but will give that a go. It was wallowing pretty bad on a harrier, maybe its in my head because I was only able to get the CG to around 6 inches from the leading edge. I thought about buying some...
