60" Extreme Flight Edge 540T EXP__First Film

Well I played around with movie maker on my dad's computer (the new Windows 7 version) and I got the basics figured out. However it will be good to get back with the old one once I get my computer back.

But anyway, here's the first video of my new Edge. It's awesome! Setup article coming soon!

Update

Hey Everyone. Sorry I haven't been much fun lately, but my computer with my video editor is in the repair shop and I haven't heard from the guy in a while. Hopefully I'll get it back soon. Until then, let me give you a quick update about what projects I'm working on.

First off, I'm almost done completing my flight setup of my new 60" Extreme Flight Edge 540T EXP with Savox SH-1250MG servos and a Motrolfly 4315-480kv motor swinging a 16x8 XOAR prop on 6S. The Motrolfly provides an insane amount of power. The Edge flies amazing! I'm off this week so I'll probably get the Knife Edge mixing set up soon (it doesn't need much). Finally the Savox servos are running great! Smooth, quick, and plenty of torque. It's a pretty sweet setup if you ask me. Once I get my computer back I'll do my regular Savox and setup article and video highlighting the features of the setup I'm running.

I'm using 6S 3300mAh batteries and I get about 5:30 minutes of flight time with about 20-25% of the battery left flying hardcore 3D & extreme aerobatics. However that's not a final time yet as I'm still in the setup stage and am still setting up my ESC, so the flight time may change/get longer. I've been using Sky Lipo 6S 3300mAh 30-60C batteries, and later tonight or tomorrow I'm going to solder my connectors onto the new Gens Ace 25C 3300mAh 6S battery that arrived in the mail earlier this week.

Once we get this project out of the way, I'll get started on my next: an Electrifly Citabria. That article will most likely be on modelairplanenews.com. Hopefully I'll get my computer back soon and I can get back into the flow of things.

Huckin' in the Wind!

Well, today was windy. 15mph gusting to 25, and not predictable at all! At least it was a dead crosswind! Enjoy!

IT'S FOAM!

It's easy to fly without the fear of crashing when the thing you're flying...
IS FOAM!

Extreme Flight Edge 540T EXP__Sunset Huckin'

As we build and wait for equipment to arrive for my 60" Edge 540T EXP, I'm still huckin' it up with my 48" Edge 540T EXP. This is such a great flying plane! I'm running Savox SH-0257MG servos on the ailerons and rudder, and a Savox SH-0255MG servo on the elevator. A Motrolfly 2820-750 680kv custom wound motor pulls it around easily with a 14x7E APC prop powered by Sky-Lipo 4S 2650mAh 30-60C LiPos... It's awesome!

*New* Extreme Flight 60" Edge 540T EXP

After purchasing two of the Extreme Flight 48" Edge 540T EXP's I couldn't wait to get their new 60" version. The 48" already flies like a bigger plane, so I can't imagine how well this flies. I received it yesterday and managed to film an un-boxing review last night. I finished up the editing this morning and it was just posted a few minutes ago. I'm pretty sure we're going to go with Savox servos and a Motrolfly 6S setup on this plane. It's gonnna be awesome! Check it out!
