OK, got one of these showing up Monday and figured I would start a little build thread on here. I ordered the Blue/Black/Silver Carbon Fiber ARF and cant wait to start building. Here is what I will be using:

DA100L stock mufflers on Falcon CF 27x10
4titude 32oz tank
High Voltage on all servos
HS-5625MG servo for throttle
2 JR 8611a servos per wing
JR 8711 servos on elevators
HS-7980TH on Push-Pull for rudder
Fromeco badger switch for ignition
Fromeco Wolverine switch on 2 Turnigy Lipo's 7.4
2 Futaba 8ch RX's
JEM Fuel Dot


More to come...........:bouncy:

Received my Edge yesterday UPS. They managed to damage it a little, but nothing to serious. Ive pretty much got everything I need minus a SWB servo arm for rudder and most extensions which I will measure for after all electronics are installed. Last night was pretty much just verify all parts and make sure everything fits. Main wing tube was perfect, but stab tube was almost to tight to install. Both tubes were covered in CF dust, so a little clean up with alcohol did the trick. Here are a few pics.......more to come.

Here is the damage, easy fix.....

Not much done last night, my 2 year old tends to occupy all my time. Got the wheels on, main gear mounted, and rudder horn installed. Few pics......

Sort of... I've tried organizing the site with all the build threads in one place.
I'll move this thread there, and what I recommend is creating a separate discussion for the airplane in the Pilot-RC forum.
