    SnowDog is my mentor!!!! He is the President of our club (Chain-O-lakes Eagles). Since I got back into this hobby two summers ago, he has stuck with me to learn this hobby again from what it was as a teenager. He is my spotter, my wingman, and a great friend!! We traveled together to the...

    O.K., a couple cold one's down, time to build some more. You have seen most of the fuselage mods, now let's move on to control surfaces. The Carbon EDGE is using Hitec HS-7954SH servos on all control surfaces. The carbon fiber control arms are mounted to aluminum servo spools, both the...

    @GYRO is correct that the sponsors of this site want to see their products used, reviewed and mentioned and whenever appropriate the members of this site should consider this in their posts / threads. Everyone has their views and opinions, this is mine. As far as the Carbon EDGE build goes...

    Your correct GYRO I'm sure that there are other suppliers for multiplex connectors, I mention @taidraggerrc because Chad has worked to produce some nice multiplex harnesses for pilot / builders who use more than one servo per wing. This sure makes getting in the air at the field a lot faster...

    The multiplex connectors are also keyed, so no more plugging you ailerons in backwards. could not be easier. Try it....You'll like it!

    The female side of the connector, mounted in the fuselage line up with the hole in the wing pocket. The male end, which is soldered to the servo extension is loose. leave enough slack in the servo extension to plug them in before you slide the wings all the way in. There are no mounting...

    in order to clean up the wiring through the fuselage, I needed a way to get power and signal to the aileron servos without having to plug them into the receiver directly every time I put the wings on. Taildragger RC was again the savior for this problem. They sell flush mount multiplex...

    The power panel is mounted directly behind the bulkhead, above the area where the throttle servo is mounted. All wiring going to the power panel comes in from underneath the power panel. This panel is removable to allow access to the throttle servo, gas ./ smoke lines etc.

    The batteries (4) are Fromeco 7.4 volt lithium ion. These were installed on panels using battery mounts from servo city. O-rings are used on these mounts to secure the batteries and they work great. The panels were then mounted out of sight between the fuselage wall and the canister tunnel...

    A light weight balsa frame was fabricated around the back side of the wing tube socket and panels made from 1/64" single layer lite ply covered with white ultracote trim were installed. This covers the wing tube socket nicely. Blue plastic flex conduit was used to route all of the wiring...
