Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”

Alright here is a thread just for the 20cc Edge profile. I will keep this first post updated with the important things we come across as people are building it.

 

Will answer in a bit. Just survived “The Long Night” and by that I meen surviving a toddler that has been vomiting every 30 minutes since roughly 4:30 yesterday afternoon. Now to try and survive a 12hr shift at work.

 

Yeah Emma had RSV at 3 weeks old while still in the NICU. Wasn’t fun either.

 

As I have it designed the landing gear is to be made of aluminum flat stock but you can do wire gear if you prefer. Choices on the tube is all up to the builder. you can go with a cheap 5/8" aluminum tube if you want from lowes or home depot. Down side is in a hard dork it will bend and you will have to bend it back straight. You can go with carbon. plus is it will be super rigid but down side is in a hard dork it will probably shatter and break. or you can go with a fiberglass tube. they are the best of both worlds as they will bend a lot before breaking but go back to their normal state after the impact.

 

option 1 for a tube if going for carbon fiber. 16mm is just ever so slightly bigger than a 5/8" tube. You would have to adjust the slot in the motor mount ever so slightly. only adjust on the bottom of the slot as the top of the tube is already designed to have the wing tube phenolic in the fuse sit pretty much right on top of it.
Also could easily get away with doing a 15mm tube just be sure its centered in the thickness of the fuse.

Here is a where all the tubes came for mojo and primo kits back in the day. Sorry I had originally said .605 it should be .602
