Busy day today, just got off the phone with Heather at RedwingRC.com.....
They've put together a package deal on their 20cc profile Edge 540, it's a revision 3 airframe packaged with XQ servos and a DLE 20cc gas engine. You can choose the color you'd like, whether you want side or rear exhaust, and which servos you'd like to include with your package (XQ servos will come standard, Hitec and PowerHD servos are available for a small upcharge).
Normally there is a discount when you purchase the airframe, engine, and servos together........

If you've been flying foamies and hanging out at GiantScaleNews.com, this is a great opportunity to jump into a gas fueled airplane while also getting a lot of help from the community. If you've been flying nitro fueled planes and have wanted to try gas fueled engines then this is a great opportunity to jump in. If you've been flying sport planes and want an affordable true-blue 3D airframe to up your flying game, this is a great opportunity to jump in and get to learning something new!
These airplanes also do great with electric power which is still how I might go with mine, haven't decided yet.
The plan is to build mine and post pics/video as I go. I know a few other members here are either already done with theirs or getting ready to build them so there will be others contributing to the thread explaining how/why they did theirs.
Anyone can ask ANY questions they might have about the build so if you've ever wanted to give larger RC gas fueled airplanes a try, this is a great time to do it! We'll also be discussing electric options for those of you that want to put a brushless motor on the front. We don't judge here, either option will get you from the bench into the air.
Who's in? Who's kicking it around? Yellow or Red? I'm thinking yellow...........like my favorite dancing chicken!!
