That looks right at home, but I think you will need a bigger trailer so you can haul more toys

See Mark? They fit. Just need to plan ahead. LOL....Once the second tier is built, I should be able to get all 5 of my big boys in plus my sons 43% Edge and his 30% Pilot Edge.

That is tight! A little soft foam between them and they are ready for the trip to the southeast

It's Goonta Tight, foam or a couple of those el cheapo moving blankets (harbor freight) where those props are near "MY" Edge

..........since all the rest of the hardware is blue, I slapped a coat of paint on the aluminum standoffs and "cinched" it all down. For a total cost of a buck and a quarter, I was in business.

Hey Rob,

Has anybody ever accused you of being ANAL ? ? ? ? ?............ Sorry Buddy, I couldn't resist. Your Edge is looking AWESOME. I bet you're chomping at the bit to get that big bird in the air........................

As a matter of fact... not only anal but OCD Anal. Lol... yes I am. I am changing gears and planning to have it flight ready by the end of March. Way a head of schedule.

Don't feel bad, you're not alone with regards to being Anal. Besides, I've been called worse.........

I am right there with you. Getting really excited. I did get some time to start working on the wheel pants. Yuk...they are some ugly beasts. Quite a number of stress cracks around the parameter of the opening for the wheels. Not serious enough to replace, but definitely in need of some reconstructive surgery.


After sanding through the original paint, I was able to see just what really needed attention. I sealed up the cracks to hold them in place while I worked on them. CA works great for setting cracks. All inside work finished and waiting for the fiberglass to set. Once cured, I will do some reshaping of the wheel openings and do another final sand before priming. I should have them primed and painted tomorrow.

When you paint them, they need to be similar to the scheme on the plane

I was thinking that also Mark. Problem is, I already purchased the Insignia Blue paint. Maybe I can just order up a can of Missile Red and a can of White? What do you think of the same style of stripes on the pants like the rudder?
