    Happy to help Bart. Hope things go smoothly and I will do my best to help keep this place on track with what it needs to be. We have to seperate ourselves from those other sites and I feel the site has done a pretty good job of it on its on but we need to insure it stays that way. Chris

    Hangar 9 33% Edge 540 Recover

    What I have drawn up on paper looks nice. The orange is pretty dark as well. Almost a red.

    Hangar 9 33% Edge 540 Recover

    Thanks. I have posted my scheme before but I think for now I'm just gonna let everyone ponder what it might do to it and watch it as it all unfolds. I will share that it will be orange and green.

    Video of the second flight. Got the CG sorted out and I have to say the plane is pretty badass.

    Covering questions

    Basically you said it all. When I covered my 30% plane I used a roll and half of covering from value hobbies that are 15' each. Getting ready to start a recover on a 33% edge next week. Started pulling parts off of it this morning.

    3D Cbarnes 3D Slab Thread

    So I flew the edge yesterday afternoon. She is pretty squirrelly as she was pretty tail heavy. Still had fun with it though. No video as my camera malfunctioned. Will fly it again this morning and will add some weight to the nose. Once I get it where I like it I will move the tail servos forward...

    3D Cbarnes 3D Slab Thread

    LOL that would be funny. Its not gonna last long enough to deserve decals though. Will be building three more here soon. One for me and the others are going to other Bro's. This is after I do the recover of this hangar 9 edge 540. All the covering and hignes showed up for it today.

    3D Cbarnes 3D Slab Thread

    LMAO. that came from work actually I asked if I could cut up some square stock to use as weights for when I build. They handed me a piece and said have at. Was doing it in a hurry and didn't notice till I was about done that it was brass stock I was cutting.

    3D Cbarnes 3D Slab Thread

    So I decided it was time to rebuild my edge profile. The wing and all the control surfaces where undamaged but the fuse was toast. In my quest to keep it light I built it 1/4" thick and used a 1/4" tube. Well the tube allowed way to much tail twist in rollers. This time around its all 3/8"...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Still guys at my field like that. Will only fly in one direction and can't take off or land if the wind is blowing the opposite direction down the runway.

    Let me catch up on the couple of projects I have for others and then we can talk. Got three small profiles to crank out really quick as well as a 33% hangar nine edge to recover and covering should be here this week.
