Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”

Thanks for that yes it looks simple, effective and light weight. I guess I will be build an aluminum tail skid tomorrow or sometime soon.

The tail skid is made not sure if it is strong enough but time will tel. Can always add a stiffener leaf if needed, time will tel. Just trying to keep the plane as light as possible. It only weighs 10 grams.

It should be fine.

On my 40 sized profiles I always just used a piece of 1/16 music wire and never had a problem.

Ok got one wing hinged now just have to do the second one just not looking forward to that hope I get it done tomorrow. It can deflect fifty degrees either way, that should be enough may loose a little after covering. The hinge line looks good and tight.

 

[Snoopy1]

The second wing is hinged and done. Now all that needs to be done is the Carbon plates add for some reinforcements.
Not sure what I will do next I may start to cover some parts.

One more thing done front landing gear installed. All the aluminum and hardwood blocks drilled and taped. One job done just have to install the tail skid will install some hardwood dowels to screw into.

 

[Snoopy1]

Tail skid instead.
The build is done.

Looks great. Go ahead and fully assemble it without covering including all servos and the engine and what not to see where it balances. That will let you know ahead of time if the tail servos need to be mounted further forward or not.

 

[Snoopy1]

Thanks for that I will do that and see how the CG is with the correct balance point.
CG point is 6 1/4 from the LE if my memory serves me right.
