    Pilot RC 42% Edge 540.

    Hey guys! I did the maiden on my edge today with the the DLE-222 up front. I am very impressed with the bird!!! I put the rudder servos in the tail and but all my electronics and batteries as far back as I could and it balanced out pretty good with only a slight nose down angle. it only took...

    Pilot RC 42% Edge 540.

    Hey guys! It's been a long time since I have posted anything in this forum so I figured I'd give an update on my progress. Since I last posted I was asking about savox servos and I decided to go with them. I have them installed along with the RX and smart fly power expander. The only thing I...

    Pilot RC 42% Edge 540.

    Sorry to hear about the plane...sucks for sure! I have no complaints about DLE myself. I have 4 of them and the one I have had the longest is still going strong after 4 years...definitely need to get her back in the air! I have been a xoar prop user for years but I have had a R/C buddy...

    DLE-170. Yes, this is a bas ass bird! I have an EF 88" edge that is a monster. So I'm really excited to fly a bigger edge!

    It's coming along slowly...lol. Been waiting to get a little bit more in the bank to order the rest. I have the engine on order so that should be here shortly and I will post more pics then. Thanks for the interest in the plane!!!

    Well I got to look at some savox servos up close today and I think I am going to give them a try. I guess it was easier than I thought leaving hitec...lol. Here some pics of this beauty!!! 14911=8364-edge 1.jpg 14911=8365-edge 3.jpg 14911=8366-edge 4.jpg 14911=8367-edgw 2.jpg

    Hey guys, will SWB products work with Savox servos? If not what will?

    Thanks guys for all the info. I really appreciate it! Yakken- I have looked into savox before and will again, although it will be hard to leave hitec it's all I've ever used...lol. Bemeson- I will see which savox servos that will be equivalent in voltage and torque and get back to you.

    Pilot RC 42% Edge 540.

    I plan on using push/pull as well. This will the first time I set up the rudder this way. I have three other GS planes that are set up pull/pull and I'm curious to see if there is a difference. From what I have heard and all of the posts on this thread this bird will be AMAZING!!! Even if it...

    Pilot RC 42% Edge 540.

    Hi fellas, Just pulled the trigger on a Pilot RC 42% Edge. Been thinking on my servo set up and though I am not a hard 3D flyer, I'm more of the slow and lazy 3D, I'm wondering if one Hitec 8911 on the rudder is enough or two 7950's. My gut is telling me to go with two servos but I was...
