Hello

Well I have been looking into 3D planes and this is the plane that is the most appelaing to me. I have a few questions that I want to get answered tho. I have tryed emailing OMP but it has been a while and I have sent two emails with no response. I was wondering if this plane will need any servo extensions or Y Harness's? Also I was wondering if this plane will work out with a OS 55AX(already bought), a spektrum DX6i Radio system, Four HS475BS servos for the control surfaces and a HS55s Micro servo for the throttle. Let me know if this will work out or not. Also one more question and that is what would be a good prop to use with the OS 55AX for 3D?

And if anyone knows when is the earliest I can get one of these birds!!!

Thanks A Lot

Hi Jason. I did get both your emails and responded. Hopefully you have them. Check your spam filter maybe. The 55AX and the Spektrum will make a great combo. Use a 12-4 or 13-4 prop for 3D. Make sure you use the full range rx and not the parkflyer version. Also don't use the HS55 for a throttle. That servo is not rugged enough for glow applications. Use the HS 81 or 85 for throttle servos. The next batch of V3 Edges is already being built and we expect to have them by mid to late April. If you have any other questions shoot away!

Looked great, but the price is now $189.00. Guess I'll have to go for the Kat V2 .46 at $139.00... My guess, they're getting a few emails right now...what happen to the boxxer? Could it be the $200 price point?

All arfs have went upa bunch! But the Edge V3 is still the best buy out of the 2 IMO even if it has went up some. I think I pd $159 about 1 1/2 years ago. Gas was about 2.25 then also..........

By the way, mine has a OS 55ax an flys perfect.

This is correct and trust me I wish I could produce and sell models for much less. I fly as hard and as much as anyone out there and go through several profile planes a year. Ask any ProBro I've flown with. Burned over 3 gallons of Cooper Fuel at the Nashbro this weekend. But times are changing folks and everything has gone up. Labor, material, and most of all shipping! And to make matters worse profit margins are going down. If this trend continues little guys like me won't be able to afford running a business.

I am considering buying a profile, more specifically an OMP product (either the Edge or ProYak). I have not had a profile before and was wondering how they handle the wind. Also, does wind make them a challenge to land?

The Toolman

To Bad ya wasn't closer or I'd sell ya mine for $300 ready to go with your rx. Probably less than 10 flights on it an in a-1 perfect shape. New os 55ax, all HD Ball brg Hi-Tec servos, tehterite landing gear + other goodys. I just lost interest in it an now I'm more into ham radio....

Thanks Ron, looks like a good setup. I have an engine and servos already that would work well. So, how do they handle the wind? And land?

The Toolman

No big deal on landing, they just float down with that big wing. I only flew mine a few times an it wasn't windy, so I can't help ya there. Just wasn't my thing flying profiles. I'm more of a roundy round guy.

I will tell ya, that I sure do luv my HH Tango though. It's my favorite fun plane to fly. It'll do things that you can't do with a normal plane....

Flying the OMP Edge or ProYak in the wind is easy and actually a lot of fun. They handle the wing exceptionally well and honestly one of my top choices to fly when it is really windy. Doing rollers or HAKE stationary over the runway is a blast. Landings are also fun as you can float straight down onto the landing gear with zero ground speed.

Mike, changed radios in my 540 (the older red/white/blue version), aileron centering is off. IIRC - there was an alignment guide for this - of course i tossed it ages ago.....

I am considering buying an omp edge 540. Will a thunder tiger 40 be an acceptable engine for this plane? and what color schemes are currently available? I like the green an white checker board but web site currently shows out of stock.
