    Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”

    Most places should be able to print them. I sized them at 36” wide so that most places can.

    Loosen the set screw and adjust it for the depth of say the tails on dovetail joints. Tighten back up then you can scribs a line on you piece of wood. Better than a pencil as it gives an actual groove for your chisel to rest in when doing the final clean up with a chisel.

    Still need to epoxy the brass piece to the wood and apply a finish to it but other wise it is done and I'm happy with it. Most proud of myself for making the blade myself.

    If this things comes out that heavy then you used crappy wood and way to much glue. I’m really hopeful that it will be 7-1/2 or less.

    Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”

    Heads up for anyone building. I will adjust it once I get CAD back to make the changes but the LE sub spar on the wings needs to be moved back 1/2-3/4. Talking with one of the other guys who has already started just said its not a lot of sheeting there and makes it harder to get it to match the...

    After flying the UMX Timber I had to rebuild my plane rack. Set the timber on it and it collapsed on me everything hitting the ground other than the DLG ‘s that landed on top of me. Luckily nothing broke. Put it all back together and added screws to all the joints. Could have glued it but wanted...

    I’m going out flying thread 2019

    Nothing fancy just four relaxing flights on the UMX timber yesterday evening. Dead calm conditions made for some serious fun. Almost two full packs where burned just doing flat rudder turn figure eights a few feet off the ground and keeping it all within about a 50’ circle. Then fun times taking...

    Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”

    Yes all sheet is 1/16”. Spar is really up to the builder. If I build one it will be modified a bit as I would do medium to hard balsa and rib it down the middle. Lay the first piece in and tack it in place. Then lay a piece of carbon row down and tack it in place at both ends. Lay the other half...

    Would be what ever your personal preference would be. Just what I currently have in stock I would use flat pinned hinges but robart hinge pins would work as well as CA hinges but if going with ca hinges use radio south ones.

    The bigger question is did he do the 3D American flag himself or did the man, the myth, the legend, Gator do it for him. I intend to do the flag scheme at some point.

    Good to no. Very possible my buddy just got a dud that wouldn’t perform right. I have seen it with all of them and sometimes you get one that is strong as heck. My last dle 20 I had for the longest time felt like crap. Ran well but just not a lot of power. Mind you it was on a 8-1/2 pound plane...

    A buddy of mine tried the rcgf 26. Things he noted. Wider crankcase so you have to widen the motor mount a bit. Made good power but didn’t handle being thrown around in 3D like the others. Basically came to the conclusion it was fine for planes flying scale or even scale aerobatics but when...
