3DHS 58" Edge 540

Re: Jersey Huckers (GCA and other 3D-friendly clubs)

Can anyone who owns a 58 edge tell me how far it is from the firewall to the outside of the hole in the cowl for the prop? I need to see whether or not I will need spacers.
Thanks

What motor are you running? I have spacers on my motrofly

Great Pics Gary! Looks like a really nice field too.

What motor?

I've got spacers on the motrofly. Gary and Mike both recommended to me the nylon ones you can get at HD or Lowes. Worked great!

I just need to know the distance from the firewall to the hole in the cowl. But it is the Heads Up RC Firepower 60. It says that the motor length is 2.2 inches. Then it says the shaft is 8mmx 1 inch.

Dan, moved to the 58" thread for continuity.

Thanks Gary. I just need the distance from the firewall to the hole in the cowl.

That distance will vary with how far back you mount the cowl....

 

[dskuro95]

Can I have an estimate at least? You can only go back so far.

If I had a 58 I'd help you out.

I'm having some problems keeping my batteries from moving around. I fly mine on 4s (and like it) and I have to push the battery almost all the way into the motor box to make it balance. I've strengthened the box with some CF so it can take the forces. The problem is that I can only put a single strap at the very rear end of the battery. Sometimes when I do high-energy maneuvers, I can actually hear thuds from the battery moving around. Not good and a disaster waiting to happen.

Are there any tricks for better battery installation? Maybe SteveT has one of those inserts for this plane?

Is it possible to incorporate sticky back Velcro so you can stick the battery down and then strap it in?
