Here is a bit of info for the tech heads in the bunch  Smoke oil : While they are on the course, the must run smoke. The smoke must be on as they pass through the opening gate and remain on until they have passed through the last gate. If the smoke stops flowing, even 5 meters before the finish gate, they are given a time penalty. They must burn smoke oil at a flow rate of 2.5 liters per minute. They are tested and measured randomly throughout the racing to make sure everyone is running the same. The smoke oil they run is nothing special. Pete burns a light weight machine oil that is sold by Shell. He said they typically don't use anything special. Just any light weight machine oil that they can get their hands on, that has a low flash poiont. He said he typically pays $40 to $50 for a 20 litre pail. Sure beats the $30 we pay for our 4 or 5 litre jugs  Wings and Main Spar : The wings and main spar on Pete's Version 3 Edge are bolted to the airframe with only (2) 3/4 inch Grade 8 bolts. There is a small metal tab closer to the trailing edge with a couple of 1/4 inch bolts that are used as an alignment tab to hold the incidence. Thats all that holds the wings on the plane. Both main wings and spar are 100% Carbon fiber. Their combined weight for both wings, spar and with ailerons, bearings and internal linkages weigh 125 lbs. Thats right, only 125 lbs...Wow Never pay again for live sex! | Hot girls doing naughty stuff for free! | Chat for free! |

Re: Carden 35% Edge 540 build.... 3-B It was a real honor to be there. I shot a total of 119 pictures and it's gonna be a tough job to narrow them down for the article. The coolest part was when Pete had us each climb into the cockpit (a real tough feat for my 48yr old fat ass....I think I actually pulled a muscle). I couldn't get over the similarities between the planes we fly and the actual Edge. Pete McLeod was a very cool and likable person. He took the time to explain everything about the plane, aerobatics and air racing. He answered all of our questions and never once did I feel that he was getting annoyed with us or was just going through the motions. I could tell he was genuinely interested in us and what we were doing. Wonderful guy. And no....Brad didn't fly...it is an active airport. Pete did joke that he would have loved it if we did but that the tower wouldn't have. LOL As Brad mentioned, we will be only releasing a few of the pics for now and saving the best for the MAN article.....but here's a taste... Chris Lee |

Re: Carden 35% Edge 540 build.... 3-B Hopefully MAN accepts it and uses it. If they do accept it. Ken Park says it may take 3 or 4 issues before we see it. Plan to contact Ken tonight and hopefully have something submitted by the end of the week. Never pay again for live sex! | Hot girls doing naughty stuff for free! | Chat for free! |

But Pete is going to send us a nice HiRez shot or 2 from last year that we can submit in the article to show the color scheme. Never pay again for live sex! | Hot girls doing naughty stuff for free! | Chat for free! |
