3dhs 92" edge 540 !!!

[Yowzilla]

Your mount must be about 32mm thick. Mine was 1.5" or 38mm.

6 mm did not sound to be a big difference to me when purchasing stuff but the gap between the spinner was huge and I would need to cut more of the cowl to clear the motor. So I am going to stay around 32mm.

This looks like what I made for you Gary. Is this correct? If so, did that work for you?

I need some standoffs for my GP61 in my 92†Edge.

- 30mm total length.
- Diameter – 13.5mm
- Base (shoulder) – 15mm
- Smooth bore for 5mm bolt pass through.

Yup, it is! I was close with my 30mm measurement, but the 32mm works a little better, so that is what I've recommended for others.

Craig, I got an email out to you with my standoff dimensions. The extra length of the GP-61 vs. DA must be where the extra HP comes from. just joking ...

Well I did the cowl and worked hard on the throttle linkage. I need a threaded 4-40 rod and could not find one at hardware store. So I needed to make one from some square aluminum extrusion. I think it looks nice after some head scratching.

The tiny nut on the back of the throttle linkage was a pain and I had to get creative with some tape and a small open end wrench.

I cut the cowl as little as possible. I expect to cut some more later.

I'm still debating on the 92. For those that have the 92 and 74, do they fly similar? I have the 74 and love it. If the 92 flys just like the 74, then my decision will be made.

Dwight, the 92 flies BETTER than the 74. Sorry... I know your wallet wanted to hear otherwise.

Hey guys, quick question:
what other options do we have for Edge 92, besides DA 60? is the DA-70 Twin an option?

Gino at TrimcraftAviationRC.com (one of our site sponsors) has all kinds of hardware related to R/C - even 2-56 and 4-40 threaded rod...and also socket head bolts (SAE and Metric) that will fit your mount much better...be sure to check out his website...prices much better than local hardware store prices.
