    Pilot 30% Edge 540. Who's Flying it!?

    Can't wait to see the video... I've been spending most of the evening doing some minor repairs and checks. I noticed that one of my wheels were locked up and pulled it to find a broken hub.:doh!: That could've been bad on a landing. Nick's hobby shop happened to have a new one for me. Also...

    Redwing Elite 50cc Slick 540 (new scheme)

    We finally had a good break in weather here and I was able to maiden mine today. Flew like a dream. Mine was a little tail heavy according to plans but turned out perfect. Inverted @ 45 climb it didn't mive hands off. Landings were hands off. It's almost hard to stall. Very predictable... I...

    50cc Slick 540 build issue (help!!!)

    Can someone also steer me in the right direction of where the best mounting location is for the batteries for this plane? I'll be installing (2) 2300 mah A123's, both to the receiver and also using an Ultra ibec from Tech Aero to the ignition. DuBro 20oz tank and DLE55 to give an idea of weight...

    50cc Slick 540 build issue (help!!!)

    No, I installed the ailerons the same way you did. I also touched up some of the exposed wood from removing the covering with high gloss ultra white latex paint and it made a noticable cleaner look. The plane is starting to shape up now and and I really like the green scheme. I will be doing...

    50cc Slick 540 build issue (help!!!)

    Regardless of what you say, it is a design flaw. I tried 3 different brands of servos and several different arms. I did have a small aluminum arm that fit with a hi-tec servo, but the arm still only had a 1/32" clearance. Both slots on both sides need to be pulled inboard 3/8" and this wouldn't...

    50cc Slick 540 build issue (help!!!)

    I have been building on this one for a couple of days now and have run into a possible problem. I am using the XQ 4020 servos and the supplied CF arms. I also purchased the aluminum wheels for these arms to fit to from Redwing. The problem arises when mounting the arm to the servo in the...

    Graphics for 540 Slick 50cc

    I'm looking for ideas for graphics for my green scheme RW 540 Slick 50cc. Can someone post photos of this plane with graphics installed. I've yet to see one. Any other graphics vendors aside from B&E? Nothing against them as they sell nice stuff. Additional options would be nice to look at. Thanks.

    Another battery setup question

    Yes, makes sense. Thanks guys for the replies. I have decided to go this route... (2) A123 2100mah batteries, both to Miracle dual switch. Each battery on their own switch. From switches to a SmartFly Batshare to the Rx. Tech Aero Ibec to ignition and gear channel on receiver. No ignition...

    Another battery setup question

    I'll be using a Spk AR8000. My other planes have a two battery setup, but I have heard of a lot of people going with one and I like the idea of less connections, 1 switch, and weight reduction. I'm wanting to go as light as possible with this one. It's not about saving a dollar or two. Correct...

    Another battery setup question

    First post so bear with me... I am ordering a Redwing 50cc Slick 540 tomorrow and I'm trying to make sure of the battery setup best to use on this plane. I have narrowed it down to this for simplicity and trying to stay as light as possible. I am considering going with a single Life 3000 for...
