70cc twin V2
Steven's Aero Edge 540 kit.
I built this with with a friend for several reasons:
1. It's fun to hang out with a great friend!
2. I love Edges
3. I wanted to build a kit- to go through all the steps that the factory does for our ARF kits!
4. I wanted to gain beneficial skills for any building / repairs going forward
5. I loved the AeroWorks 100cc Edge, but don't have a place to fly gas (and this was a way to build a cheaper, look-alike)
and last but not least...
6. I fly my stuff hard enough that I need to make repairs often; I thought this project would build needed skills to make better repairs.
Here are some details on the kit:
From the Steven's Aero website (Steven's Aero Edge)
"This RC model airplane laser cut kit was born out of the demand for a scale 3D capable aircraft based upon the simple construction techniques and solid flight performance of our innovative G-480. Our innovative design features many industry first building techniques including our Truss-Loc(tm) interlocking warren truss fuselage assembly and our D-Loc(tm) wing construction technique - the easiest and straightest d-tube wing you have ever built. Two piece plug-in wings and carbon wing spar for greater portability. Simple battery access designed to enhance cooling air-flow over sensitive electronic equipment.
Crisp Pattern Flier
Solid 3D performance
Large Scale airplane look and feel
Portable fits in your trunk!
Text book aerobatics wrapped in a no excuses Scale/Precision/3D capable airframe. Featuring a predictable flight envelope, point and go precision tracking, clean snap and spin characteristics, and excellent Knife Edge performance.
Kit includes: Precision laser cut parts, rolled computer drawn plan sheet, photo illustrated instruction manual, comprehensive hardware package (wheels, pushrods, carbon wing tube, pre-bent landing gear, motor mount, and misc. hardware), molded plastic cowl and canopy, and 3D flight guide.
Suggested Radio Gear: 4 micro servos (HS-65, or JR-DS285 suggested), 4-6ch receiver, and servo extensions two 6" and two 12".
Suggested Building Supplies: Thin CA glue, glue tips, balsa wood filler, sanding block, hobby knife, 2-3 rolls of AeroFILM or AeroFILM LITE covering material."
