    Double post of accident.

    I did the math and I was within a few ounces of the DA 60 and ProFlow I had on the plane before.

    I've caught crap because it's not as powerful as a DA 70 but it has more than enough power for me. Reminds me of a joke... A guy walks into a place of ill repute and picks out a girl. They go to a room to do their thing and he pulls his pants down. The woman starts laughing because she's...

    I got another 6 flights on the Edge this weekend despite moving. The EME 70 is really strong now that it's at a lower elevation. My carb is no longer dripping fuel except when I'm starting it. I also switched the motor over to Redline at 40:1 and it's easier to start. I think my big...

    Well, they're somewhat going to larger 40cc planes that you could use a 50 in. The Yak can also fly no problem with a 60 in it. I'd love to get a 83" MXS or the 79" Slick with a DA 50 in it.

    Help! Adjust Linkage Length?

    I posted this on another site but in retrospect, I did not reset the subtrims to 0 before I put the arms on. I just reused the same settings as with the 9156's. I'm going to pull the stabs and servos and redo the arms on the splines and see where I get. I had to adjust the subtrims and end...

    Help! Adjust Linkage Length?

    This is what I'm dealing with.

    Help! Adjust Linkage Length?

    I have not because it's an EF plane and the control horns are the composite material that they use. I'm going to play around with the linkage lengths tonight and just make some minor turns and see if I can't get them to line up.

    IMAC Double Build, Carden Pro 124" Extra 300 40%

    Do you have 2 templates for that? I.E. 1 for the actual aileron and another for the aileron plus hinge area and clearance area between the aileron and the rest of the wing or do you just mark out the aileron and measuring and mark everything else with a straight edge?

    Help! Adjust Linkage Length?

    Well, I have the end points set so they match at the ends currently. But the right is moving more up than the left in the travel and more down in the travel than the left until you get to the end points. That is why I am thinking the right is slightly longer than the left and I should try...

    Help! Adjust Linkage Length?

    I have an Extreme Flight 88" Edge that I recently changed out the elevator servos from Futaba S9156's to some MKS 777's. I don't recall there being a mismatch before but the elevator on the right side moves further than the left just by a little. Because of the programming in the radio, the...

    @AKNick and @stangflyer I was able to get about 1.5 gallons through the EME 70 before moving we move in a few weeks. The motor really came alive on the 3rd flight and I was just doing repeated loops. I also got some solder over the choke valve and now it draws fuel on it's own. I still...

    Yeah, that's one of my ideas.

    Build: EF 88" Edge 540T

    I was able to get 4 flights with the EME this weekend. The last time I had flown the motor, it was making decent power but I could still tell it was very tight. The first flight was mostly sport aerobatics and then I just started flying steep ascent and decent loops to heat/cool the motor. By...

    On another note, there is a guy at my field who has been flying a couple EME 70's and a 120. He was the one who encouraged me to get the 70. Both of his run damn good. The only thing I don't like is you have to hold your finger over the carb plate to get it to draw fuel. I may try covering...

    Where did you get the gas safe green fuel tubing? It's a nice flair!
