Skywing 91" Edge 540 V2 Assembly Thread

[SnowDog]

I haven't done a build thread in quite a while. This airframe is such a gem that I felt it was worth the time to do one now. So here goes, and thanks to @AKNick and @pawnshopmike for the encouragement.

I recently purchased the Skywing 91" Edge V2 Printed scheme (Red) from Northwest RC. Fantastic job with packaging and securing the contents of the box. The airframe looks amazing and I'm excited to begin the build. Installing a GP-76 for "great power"!

Great job with the structural and graphic design, Skywing!

Ok - so I started wondering about a build manual for the plane...not that I "need" one, but I thought it might be helpful...as it might contain helpful information such as "what are these things?".

Here is the link to the online build manual on the Skywingrc.com web site: http://www.skywing-rc.com/.../product/index/g/e/id/64.html

"These things" are XT60/EC3 holders and wheel chocks, respectively. :|

@AKNick did an assembly thread on the Skywing 91" ARS 300 which was very helpful to me and is a good read for anyone who is following this assembly thread:

@AKNick in your assembly thread you described a 3d printed part for the GP-76 engine mount:

Do you still have the 3D plan for this? If so are you willing to share it? Are you selling it as a part?
Let me know because I'd really like to use that in my Edge 540.

Thanks for the kind words!
Are you done building yet? But really these skywing plane just slap together!!!

I modified mine to fit the XT60, just a little Dremel work. They are designed for the EC3.

I need to start uploading my files to share somewhere like thingiverse. As of now I can print and ship for anybody though.
