Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”

Think I got the fuse about finished up. Glued the rudder and rudder support on . Fuse stands up nicely on it's own.

Like the side by side Snoop! I'm thinking of adding side force generators on this one also!

I decided to not install them on this plane. I know they work but just do not like the looks but time will tell if it cannot do a knife edge loop then they will be installed. But looking at the rudder size compared to the Pro260 it should not have problem, I hope.

I hear ya Snoop,
I do think they help with tighter knife edge loops, easier hairiers, and slower landings. Just more over all stability. I'm in the process of making a template for them. I'll have to make rib 7 out of ply though!

The reason I build the 20cc Glitter was to get away from the wing rock my Pro260 has it is just terrible. That’s only reason I dislike the Pro260 so much is the wing rock.

Why would you just not use the ones of the Pro260.

I personally vote heck no too them as I think they look horrible. Also experience says from building and flying a 44” electric version, 56” nitro version, and a 55cc gas version tells me it will not need them. Focus on building light and you will be rewarded with a light yet strong amazing flying airframe. Though I warn the glitter isn’t for everyone as it can be one wild and crazy ride.
