FT Edge
https://forum.flitetest.com/index.php?resources/ft-edge.22/
This build is a bit more complicated especially if you do it as a scratch build. (unless you have a needle cutter
) For my build I followed Andre's build guide and didn't make any changes except the power system and landing gear. For the motor I used a DYS 3548 1100Kv motor and I have it running on an 80amp ESC and am using two 3s 2200mah batteries in parallel. The landing gear is the medium universal landing gear kit but is no longer sold on the FT store.
I have it attached by using a a 3d printed insert that hold #6 nuts into the standard foamboard part with the C-fold. I also designed 3d printed clips to hold the rubber bands. i find this to be a little easier than Andre's method. The landing gear pants are also 3d printed and are currently designed to use a 1/4" bolt as an axle. I rate the build experience a 3/5 a bit more complicated to make but the needle cutter is doing the tedious bits which would other wise make this a 4/5. The maiden flight experience for this was 4.5/5, It has plenty of power and requires complete attention, I nearly lost it in the woods as I lost orientation as I got far out and struggled to bring it back. I think I need to get used to flying this before it is more comfortable and needs a good paint scheme to help maintain orientation. I am also concerned I am pushing the wing loading further than where I want to be for my standard flight regime.
Sorry the video doesn't show much but it almost got away and was a struggle to bring back in one piece!
If you decide to build one, build light, and use the C - Pack motor! I continue to have difficulties with this plane but the best flight I had was the maiden on my 1st build when it was a C pack motor on my maiden flight with a 2200mah battery. Hopefully some bright paint and a warmer calm day will help me improve my time with this one.
