Finished Powerline Edge 540 23% (pics)
Hey Hey Hey. My Edge is done and I'm just waiting for fare weather now. I think tomorrow will be the day though. Suppose to be sunny and quite with maybe a 5mph wind. But anyways here she is and my new little .25 pen knife.

RE: Finished Powerline Edge 540 23% (pics)
I have the engine mounted with the stock exhaust out the top. Super tigre sugests not to use an aftermarket muffler with this engine. So this was the only way I could mount it the way the engine box is designed. I couldn't do it standard or at a 45.
Is there a right or wrong way? As long as the shaft is centered correctly, right. The guy at the hobby store said to put the exhaust out the bottom with a pitts. But then you get oil all over the bottom of the plane and all of your servos. With it out the top and a dubro exhaust deflector it goes over the canopy and might hit the top of the fin-rudder. So you either wipe the top off or bottom.
My funtana had a saito with the exhaust out the bottom. my servos and the whole bottom was soaked with oil. I don't think that it is good for the servos to be soaked in oil. just my .02
