OMP 47" Edge V3 ARF

[Old Fart]

Well, seeing as my Mayhem 40 bit the dust yesterday (old planes and snap rolls aren't a good combination if you really need a horizontal stab to fly - and I do) - I think I'll pull the trigger on the red/white/blue 47" Edge later today.

Buddy of mine maidened his yesterday at the field (OS 70), let me fly a tank through it. Should be a FINE home for my Saito 72

Anyone remember BARF, the wonder Edge???

Welcome to the hood! Your screen name looks familiar. Maybe I've seen it around on RCU or RCG. Regardless, you'll love this place. Sit back and enjoy the ride.

[Old Fart]

Yep, same screen name on all the boards. Oldfart1 on RCU for some reason.

[Old Fart]

Wohoo - my Edge should be here on Monday!

You will like it. Its a tough old bird, had one and beat the crap out of it. Its now one a second owner and he is beating the crap out of it yet.

[Old Fart]

Started last night - fuse is almost done. PITA to get the rear servo wires routed up forward, but done

[Old Fart]

She FLIES!

And better yet - she makes me look like I know WTF I'm doing

Put 4 tanks through her yesterday at Prado. Leaned the Saito 72 out a bunch on the bottom end - last flight was 8 -1/2 minutes with fuel left (reset the timer to 9 minutes). Going to throw some "heavy" clear tape on the lower wing edges.

CG was right at 5", seemed a little tail heavy but I'm going to wait until after I install an aluminum spinner to make any decisions on rebalancing.

[Straightup]

Glad you liked it.. You're hooked now

[Old Fart]

You got that right. It was still in the truck yesterday, I was wondering how much trouble I'd get in for flying it at work

[Old Fart]

Four more great flights yesterday - this plane makes me look good

One of the great things about a 40 size slab is taking it to work and going out at lunch or just after work for a quick fix.

[Old Fart]

Mike, when you work for LAX, for some reason that's frowned upon

(find me a sticker?)

[conkster]

hey old fart,
you don`t need a timer, do a "fuel check". a low, slow, right to left pass. that`s how we do it.
conk

[Old Fart]

Yeah Conk - I'm doing 'zactly that now. Nice with 30% CP Heli fuel - the "pink" really shows up

I guess that's right! Didn't realize you worked at LAX. Guess they probably don't like little toy airplanes flying around the airport!

[Old Fart]

I get away with flying my MCX heli in the office

[ghoffman]

I love this plane! I am total FNG to this 3-D shit and even a moron like me can hover this plane. I flew it today and a guy had a 3DHS AJ Slick and he really made me feel like a CJ at first. He was/is alot better than me, but after he left, I tried some of his shit and I could do it! For sure, not as smooth or cool, but damn, this is a great plane!

Wait till you try a Slide or a Sabre...
