    Good to hear! Maybe one day I'll get a chance to fly a newer one.

    That was the Edge that didn't fair very well with what should have been a survivable deadstick into the meadow. Fuse was just busted up all over....felt like a wet noddle when you picked it up. The plane itself really didn't fly well....tip stall tendencies and at least a dozen mixes to get it...

    Here's a head-on view of the Beast panel, plus one with some Photoshop work that I added for the screen display areas. I used this one in my Beast. Feel free to run with it if you wish.

    She's back on her feet again! (Really need to lay of the tequila :black-eye: ). New hinges in the rudder, pull-pull hooked up and throttle servo mounted. Get the engine back in and finish up the batteries and Rx mountings and I can clean off the table for a little wing and stab work. If I...

    Fuse is covered! On to re-hinging the rudder and elevators, then getting the wings in shape. Might help Santa deliver some presents with her! ;)

    Maybe....maybe not. Bottom line us the plane was fine because it didn't fall very far. Soon to fly again!

    Here's an old (and the only) video of me horsing around with this same plane 7 years ago! Smoke system to boot! BTW - Before anyone gives me crap about starting it without a restraint.....yes....I know.....so shoot me!

    Thanks! My goal is to make sure she's strong enough (without adding excessive weight) to sustain lots of harrier landings, as that's what I have to do in the back yard.....at least until I can convert a slice of hay field into a decent strip. Next spring! I've got plenty of room to fly this...

    New cowl ring made and ready to epoxy to cowling. Easy to get a perfect spinner-to-cowling alignment when you're gluing in your own ring ;). After this has cured I'll reinforce a few cracked areas with some glass cloth inside.
