    Alright, getting my 2nd hand ZHP (Zombie high performance) back from the dead. What are the slow speed characteristics to watch out for? Using the Omega 130G and 3 Savox SH-257"s with either a 255 on elevator or somthing I have laying around (hs-81mg or 85mg). looking forward to getting it...

    40" EPP Edge 540 Building, Flying, and Questions

    Thanks. Thats what i wanted to see. That is where I had the issue with my WM edges. One piece of carbon down the middle. That plane is so close to perfect out of the box. I notice the wood on the bottom too. looks like this edge is slightly heavier built and stronger. I may try one soon as...

    Too cool. I race on the dirt. Not much this year though. I am working all the time. Hence my being on line a lot.

    I really like the EC connectors. So easy to solder. No heat shrink. They seem to last longer too.

    EF Yaks are coming...who wants one?

    I am just deciding which exp to do. They are all killer. I have been trying to figure out which is best for me. EF makes the coolest looking planes in my book. I know I can not go wrong with any of them and it really does not matter, but this is half he fun!

    I have been drooling on the red and black. I must admit change to blue looks killer. I wish they were not so far off!

    Thanks for the input. I did not mean to slam the WM planes do to my learning curve on their construction. Sometimes I don't portray my thoughts the best in a post. I have my edge all fixed. I reinforced the problem area. Seems to be good now. How is the strength of the fuse right behind...

    Once the containers are on the boat, how long do they take to arrive?

    limited landing area. How big can I get away with?

    It truly is great. It is nice to have such a knowledge base. Just a good vibe.

    limited landing area. How big can I get away with?

    There is a fine line between confident and cocky! Been flying the snot out of the little edge today. I was ready to write that one off. Plenty of set up and cg tweaks. Reinforced some "trouble" spots. This is a good little plane. I got some knife edge circuits some more cool turnarounds...

    limited landing area. How big can I get away with?

    I would fly anything that big somwhere else first for sure. I am going to take back part of the field next year. Enough to land anything. I am a pretty confident pilot these days but not that cocky! I am thinking 30cc would be about the limit for me landing in the yard. I am sure a 50...

    limited landing area. How big can I get away with?

    There is another pond behind the pond. This pond has an island in the middle. I am going to go out in the morning and cut the scrub brush that popped up around the pond. The tree in the middle up by the driveway and the stuff on the hill next to the garage. That will open it up a lot...

    limited landing area. How big can I get away with?

    My main concern is coming in slow over the pond and flame out. The hill is not too bad. I came in hot in this video and put it at my feet. I am just left of the camera. I stuck my phone in the tree. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWgmt7Zt_lw

    40" EPP Edge 540 Building, Flying, and Questions

    Is the build quality of these better than the Winners Model planes? I have really enjoyed the WM edge 540 but is built very light (epp tears). This is a good flier but I am tearing it up in flight. Maybe the balsa 41 would be better for this gear? Thanks!

    48" EPP Yak

    Is there a stronger wing tune out there? I snapped mine in flight. I was really beating on it. Good thing is it only pushed the motor through the firewall. Very little damage. I still cant believe how good this plane is. I sure wish they would update it. Then again maybe better things...

    limited landing area. How big can I get away with?

    That is inspiring! That little strip between the hill and pond is about 20ft wide or so. I used to fly edf's in from the "field end", land and slide them down that strip. I have taken to leaving the grass taller (at that end) when I mow down there. I am thinking about picking up a balsa 48"...

    limited landing area. How big can I get away with?

    I shot a landing video. I did a super cool pop top turn around and it was above camera level! It got too dark to shoot it again. Need to rig up a cam. I am new to video. That was fun though.
