I Used a couple three bladed props Decal Dennis had told me about on the DLE 20. The Master Airscrew props, very good for different maneuvers. I also liked the single battery set up he uses and told me about Works GREAT. and keeps the Weight down. With every thing in the fuse, the only two connections when assembling at the field are the two aileron wires.Here is a short Vid on how I take off with mine (VTO'S) All the time Baby

RedwingRC has their event this weekend so it'll be a few more days before I've got confirmation of a discount code from Tim and we can get going with this.
I was thinking about electric power and I misspoke in my earlier post, the 6000mah 6S packs I have should be fine as they are 25-50 C (max discharge rate) making them good for at least 25 times the capacity of 6000mah (6 amp-hours) or 25*6 which is 150 amps. The motors we're talking about for these planes seem to max out in the range of 80 to 100 amps.

Just need a motor and ESC and I'm all good (and a plane
)

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........use the coupon code GiantScaleNews20 when you check out to receive an additional $40 off!
To make the purchase and receive this discount you must use the link below and the coupon code GiantScaleNews20 (the code is case sensitive, big letters must be big, small letters must be small, no spaces )
Here's the link

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!!

Here is the RED-WING 20cc YAK with the Aero-Works Scheme, I am going to do. I have installed the aileron servos, using 1 1/2 SWB 4/40 arms. I have also stripped one side of the fuse to install carbon fiber reinforcement. I have made the front fuse doublers, they will be(Swiss) cheese caked to save weight. I also tri stock critical area's of this older Yak. that I know are week. I am going to use a Single Duralite 2600 battery set up and a Miracle HD Dual Switch(J-001) RED from Red-Wing RC I install the battery last in the fuse to achieve the CG I want. More to come
