3D BH Design 50% Edge 540

Why was I thinking you had the Yak? It is Bill Vargas that has the Yak. The Edge is a bit more streamline, but still..........

Taking into the consideration the BH Edge calls for a 275cc recommended.... but at that weight, it comes in at 63 to 68 pounds. I'm also told that it is grossly nose heavy with that motor on it... So my line of thinking is this.

Not Nose heavy, I have one with the big 3-dub on the front, with the 4 rudder servos in the tail (where they belong) it balances right on the CG! You can easily get it perfect by just moving the batteries an inch one way or the other..

That information is immensely helpful and greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hmm...Rob are you proceeding as planed???

Not at this point, I don't think so. I had really hoped that the numbers would work. But I really just do not think I can get it to balance with that light weight motor up front. "EVEN" if I set it up the way I planned. I am not willing to "ADD" weight to the plane just to get it to balance. Completely defeats my purpose of the entire attempt. Sooooo....... Considering other options. I could easily go the 275 route. But I still want to do something that has never been done. Guess it's back to the drawing board. (For the lack of a better phrase.)

By the way, were you standing on your head when you were flying your plane. Don't mean to be a busy body, but it's upside down Mike.

How about a turboprop ??? Man you'd be the talk of the Giant Scale...be an expensive venture though..

Must be a glitch in the software...LOL

Hmmm......I wonder if I could get a flat six for it???????
