Hey @Snoopy1,

What size Super Sportster is this? It looks like a 60 size. Keep up the great work.

I believe it to be a 60 size that it what is on the box. But if you look at the picture this taken next to an old float plane that was converted to a standard plane with wheels. This is 46 size plane for sure. You be the judge.
It's an old float plane that was converted for two reasons it goes on to skies in winter for snow flying and if any of my better planes do something that I can not explain all the gear gets installed into this plane and flown the hell out of it for a number of flights to see if all the gear is working as it should, or when I send something in to be checked and it comes back and they could not find anything it goes into this plane for a while until I am comfortable with it.

Yes @Snoopy1, I believe you're right. It looks like a 46 size plane to me too. But what's odd is that your 120 doesn't look totally out of proportion in the picture a page or two back. IMHO, if it is a 46 size, I feel a little smaller engine would be in order or you're going to have to put a pound of lead in the tail to balance it.

I had the 40 size super sportster. Yours looks bigger.

Checked wing span it is a 60 size Sportster but it sure looks smaller next to the 46 size float plane. Will continue to mussel the 120 into it, it is the only engine I have that is available to go in. @HRRC Flyer you are correct it my need some weight in the back but I did move the engine firewall back 1-5/8 inches back so hopefully that will help the situation.

Worked on the Edge some more today. Got an Extreme Flight 100cc tailwheel to try out, EF Xccessory 2" arms, extensions, and a 34oz tank. Also glued in the elevator horns and bolted on the linkages. I have a pack of DuBro green ball links around here somewhere that I am going to use instead of the PRC ball links, just need to find them......

The only thing I can say it is well coated that will never rust. It is always hard to work on somebody else's plane.
