3dhs 92" Edge 540

[Yowzilla]

92" Edge (and all 3dhs 50/60cc) is 5mm diameter axles, but those like nice for a slightly smaller airframe

Are they 3/16" or exactly 5mm? I found some Titanium ones that are 3/16". Look a bit pricy..

The drawing showed diameter of 0.19" or 4.826 mm...

Gyro, I could see you all not being able to drill a hole thru the axle if the drill point was dull. What RPM did you have your drill press set to? If you were using a HSS drill you want to run it at a pretty slow rpm.

When I did mine here at the shop I had the drill press set to it's slowest speed, 240. And just pecked away a little at a time. No lubrication, and was able to drill to hole in about 1 min per axel.

I spoke with vern over at white rose engineering...There is no reason why the 3/16" set he offers will not work.

Can you guys tell me the screw size for the cowling? Also how many...? Thanks

Well, since my SFG broke last time I flew, and there aren't any replacements on 3DHS' website, I rebuilt my own. In retrospect, I'm happy I took the time to repair vs. replace and get some experience.





Can you tell which one is original?

Just had a mid air with a radian... She's done.

AAaaaahhh, that sucks! Please at least say that radian is confetti?! On the plus side look how well your gear block held up!!
