EF Edge 74"

What caused the engine to stall? Mine hasn't ever stalled on me other than when my idle was set too low.

Engine was running great up until that point, so it will for sure go in another airframe.

What a bummer. Would these pictures explain it?

Had to get a little creative with the throttle servo install.

Yup. The fuel nipple on the engine points to the side. I guess I didn't realize it was touching it that much and would melt.

I do not like to hear this!!

That all looks pretty fixable other than that cowl. No problem with wing, fuse side pretty easy and fab up a new engine box to graft in. Get a new cowl and done.

It was just a day ago when all was good and expectation filled the air and then I see this! That just hurts. Can you get it to Terry??? He can fix that in his sleep!

So sorry for the loss. However......Look forward to seeing a rebuild thread!

I'm not going to fix it, but they always look way worse until you start looking close. @Robbins shredded his wing tip on a fence and it was only a two beer project to make good as new.

Now that sucks. The melted fuel line, BTW.
