3DHS 74" Edge Demonstrator Scheme
74" Demonstrator
Setup for video above: Hacker A50-12L motor on 8S 3850mah Lipo
The Edge uses 4 full size metal gear servos, plus a throttle servo if needed. A second elevator servo may also be installed to balance a very heavy gasoline engine. All ball-link hardware is included, along with carbon landing gear attached to a fiberglass/carbon reinforced plate, wing bags, genuine ultracote covering, carbon wing tube, locking hatch latch, carbon-reinforced fuselage, aluminum axles, carbon tail wheel, and more.
For gas power, the 74" Edge is set up for the DLE-30 engine, and includes a firewall-drilling template for that engine and uses the standoffs included with the latest version of the DLE-30 engine. If you are not using a DLE-30, you will have to supply the correct length standoffs and drill your firewall accordingly for your particular engine.
We recommend the DLE-30 Rear-Carb engine for this aircraft, with a 20x6 (or Vess 19A or 20A) prop.
The 74" Edge includes a generic fuel tank, but the American-made Fortitude Fuel Tank is the best in the world and is a highly recommended upgrade.
