BBT Lightened 43% Edge w/ Piped ZDZ180
 
I couldn't resist!!!

Since I've started building the 43% Edge for David and Chris in Edmonton, I've wanted one of these for myself :yes::yes:

After talking to Caroline and Dennis, there's now one that will be shipped out Monday Sept 26th - If all goes well, it should be at my door by Monday Oct 3rd :rock::rock: This will be my winter build along side the 43% Edge for David and Chris!

* This will be a 3D Machine - maximum deflections, big surfaces :TU:
* Lots of lightening - my target is 36.5lbs with ZDZ180 on pipes :TU:
* Some new lightening techinques!! (Lots of experimenting, since it's my plane)
* Durant DDrive
* 1 servo per aileron with an option for two if needed
* Minimal electronics, powered by 2S Lipo with HV servos all around
* Graphtech G2 carbon gear with graphtech tailwheel
* Airman main wheels and tailwheel steering arm
* Blacked out canopy for minimal weight
* Full coring of the surfaces

* Covered in the Castrol Aviator scheme!

With the piped ZDZ180 up front, I would like this combo to have the highest power-to-weight ratio of any plane out there!!!!

Should be fun :rock::rock:
