36% PAU Edge 540T

[Ohio AV8TOR]

True on the slip...but haven't noticed any slip. I do have one setup with the pull-pull....I may have to give that Secraft setup a try.

Here is a thread that I started where many gave great feedback. They are amazing. Before I used them I made a sharpie mark on the cable flush as I could to the brass crimp tube and that is how I started seeing that I was experiencing slip and not stretch.

I've been using these on all my pull pull cables from SWB since I discovered them.

Do you still have to crimp those SWB tensioners? I have started using the Secraft ones that are anodized and they are secured through a loop and a set screw. You are right much better than the factory crimp tube.

 

[Tseres]

Yes you still have to crimp the wire. I find it easy to do.

Question for Herve? Do the new edge 540 cowls that are split fit the older airframe like the one I purchased last year?

 

[Islandflyer]

They should: we did not modify the fuse.

Cool I will PM you or email you on info, Thanks!

It is now Spring and it's time for the Spring Tune Up. The Edge is the first on the list. I changed out every fuel line except the vent from the tank. The Vent line was in good enough shape for another season. I also decided I don't like cleaning up Smoke oil from my plane so I removed the smoke system all the way so I don't get tempted on using it.

Also tightened up the motor mount bolts. These always seem to need tightening every spring so don't forget to check yours when the time comes.

I get used to something and it works for me. Until something goes wrong I probably wont change. Using the Tygon. I'm forced into rebuilding the tank every year. This makes me inspect everything thoroughly. This gives me a peace of mind that I checked it and everything is in Top shape. I also had a clunk get stuck in the front of a tank and had a dead stick because of it using Viton.
