Was a little worried about obtaining a good CG with the rudder servo in the tail with the added servo mount, so last night I mocked up the whole plane to check it. I'm actually nose heavy in the pic without the prop bolts installed. VERY HAPPY !!! :banana:

Not much to report, had a crazy week at work.....Anyway, got the stabs all done, engine cowl drilled and mounted with 4/40 Alan screws and nylon washers. Also ran and made up my power leads for the receivers, I used some heavy duty speaker wire I already had. I ordered new lipos and all servo extensions today which should be here next week. That was all I had left to get. :thumbup:

Pretty much got the plane done last night, just haven't been taking pics. All that's left to do is CG it, install Lipos, and fire it up. I'm thinking if this weekend is nice weather, I might maiden it Saturday afternoon or Sunday. I will post some pics later tonight.

Well, the weather this past Saturday was perfect so I took the Edge out for maiden. Got to say it fly's incredible and is a 3D monster, like nothing Ive ever flown before. My DA100L on a Falcon CF 27x10 pulls the plane with authority, this plane must be insane on a 120. Here are a few pics of the baffling and at the field. Very happy with it !!!
