Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”

[AKNick]

Well it is all covered and built, basically it is at the ARF stage now. Will have to do the final hinging and then do the final assembly and CG check.
I guess this is “Glitter 1”

I like the transparent covering, it really showcases your craftsmanship! Mine will not be transparent HA HA!!! Looks good buddy!

You have one in the box I also have a old Ohio rc 300 Extra in the box for many years. Keep looking at it but I do need to build it one of these days. 72 inch WS but one piece wing that I have to covert to a two piece with carbon tube.

That should be a good build. I'm looking forward to building mine one day, with slight mods to the control surfaces! Great job on the build so far Snoop! Wish mine was that far along.

It’s just a matter of time and you will be done before you know it.

Looks great. “Glitter 2” technically. Matt P built one back in August over on Probro site. Didn’t post much about it though.

Did he say anything about the plane. Weight, CG or anything he would change is there a video of it flying . What engine did he put on it. Is there a picture of it completed.

 

[BalsaDust]

I will find a picture of it. I think he had a DLE20 on it. Said power was good but he had it way tail heavy and stuffed it in on the maiden before he could really get a feel for how it flew. Don't think he has had time since to repair it.

Rudder is done!

Just spoke with Cindy, over at Graphtech, and she said that their GT6030 is a 3/4 inch wing tube. The outer fiberglass sleeve is 7/8". That is the one I'll be ordering.

 

[Snoopy1]

The elevator is glued in and the rudder is in just waiting for the glue to dry. Then I can start sealing the hinge lines carefully.

Don’t forget you need a block of balsa for the rudder horn.
