    3dhs 92" edge 540 !!!

    Thanks, thanks. I was debating doing it in red or black also. I tried it out with painters tape one day out flying, lol. And was sold. Besides you can't beat a red, white, and blue scheme.;) Also put a fat red stripe down the middle on the bottom of the fuse. No pic right now. It needs...

    3dhs 89 slick

    I don't think so. One of my flying buddies has the old yeller' one, w/ a 55 and side dump. And pretty sure he had to cut that out. I'll look this weekend if he has it out.

    3dhs 92" edge 540 !!!

    I like the white scheme better too. But was disappointed with how little the silver showed up, disappears at 40'+. And felt it needed a little more color. I don't care much for busy schemes, like the red one. And I don't like just throwing a decal on there. So I added some blue to mine. I...

    3DHS 87" Extra 300 SHP

    Damn that sucks. Were you using the nylon bolts? I don't trust a single nylon bolt to hold a wing on a plane of any size.

    3dhs 92" edge 540 !!!

    I used to run a smartfly and a 2100 LiFe in my Slick, but have switched it over to a Tech aero. That LiFe weighed 4 oz. I would go with the tech aero, as long as your not using an AM or FM trans. I have heard that there is a higher chance for potential interference with those systems over...

    3dhs 92" edge 540 !!!

    A 4-stroke would sound awesome, but I wouldn't try it in the 92 Edge. That one weighs 6 lbs. where as a DA60 weighs 3. Would be extremely tuff to get it to balance. And it looks like its exactly as wide as the cowl on the edge. You'd probably have to hack up the sides to get it to fit.

    3DHS 87" Extra 300 SHP

    My Extra's stab tube measures 478mm. My Slicks measures 470mm

    standard and metric rant!

    I use a button head M3 x 20mm (I believe) with a #2 bonded washer for the canopy bolts. And some regular M3 socket head cap bolts for the sfgs. Unfortunately the counter bore in the wing tips is a hair too small for a washer. I hate having just a screw holding something on. Gyro, I'll have...

    standard and metric rant!

    Is this the one I got from you? Did you fix it, cause I've been using M3's in them without any problems. I have to take the stabs off every time I transport. On my new 92 Edge everything is metric except for the screws & nuts for the control linkages. I was going to swap them out with metric...

    standard and metric rant!

    Being a mechanic you should be used to it. Just like a 88' Pontiac. lol Kidding aside, I feel your pain. I'm a machinist and I am constantly having to convert metric prints and dimensions to inches. And because the US still hasn't converted to metric like the rest of the world it causes...

    3dhs 92" edge 540 !!!

    Hey Diggity. Can you tell me what shade of blue that is on your edge? And maybe a pic of the blue in the sunlight. Thinking about changing up my red racing scheme some. Thanks. Dang the pic didn't shown up. :(

    Jamesrini, put a DLE60 twin in a Slick,http://www.3drcforums.com/showthread.php?706-3dhs-92-quot-edge-540-!!!&p=13564&viewfull=1#post13564, he had to cut clearance for one of the spark plug boots.

    3dhs 92" edge 540 !!!

    I personally like a 24 x 8 on my DA-60's. I don't care much about speed, but like the punch (and tips ripping) of an 8. I do need to try a 24 x 9 someday though. Only tried VESS 23B, 24B and Xoar 23 x 8, 24 x 8 (my fave right now) and 24 x 10. I have a NIP Falcon 24 x 8 I need to try.

    3dhs 92" edge 540 !!!

    Woot! Got to maiden my 92 Edge yesterday, despite the 20-ish mph winds. All went well except for the tie-rod on one of my seacraft adjustable pull-pull ball links pulling out. Kinda hard to land with a slight, heavy crosswind and missing the rudder direction you need to correct for it. But...

    What did you do to fix it? Just shim it? Oh BTW, tracked your prop and it shows to be delivered. Way To Go USPS, only 3 days late:rolleyes:

    3dhs 92" edge 540 !!!

    Did anyone have problems lining up their cowl? I tried mounting it up the other night and couldn't get the holes to line up between the two halves. I sent an e-mail to 3DHS Tues night. Still haven't heard back from them.

    Gyro, Yeah I saw the drill template for the DA50/60, but the cutouts there will not work for the 60. Yowzilla, I already have a Blazing Star mount for the DA60. Thanks though. :) What do you all think about using that spacer on the inside of the firewall. Might give a little extra surface...

    3dhs 92" edge 540 !!!

    Got a question for those of you who have built one of these. I got my edge yesterday and when I was going thru the bag of components there was a wooded spacer in there that looks like the cutout for a DA60 carb. Is that what it's for? Just cutting the hole in the firewall.

    Xoar 24x8 Laminated Beechwood Prop

    Still available? I got a VESS 24B, Zoar 23x8, Zoar 24x10, and a Zoar 24-3D B. All drill for a DA60. Also have a NIP Vess 22B. Warning on the Zoar 24-3D B.... This prop has to be cursed, tried it only 3 times and had engine problems everytime. 1st time, crank bearing exploded. 2nd time...

    Can anyone put a tape measure to the rudder of the edge and tell me how tall just the rudder is. Not including the tail wheel, just the rudder. Thanks
