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

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 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
* Lots of lightening - my target is 36.5lbs with ZDZ180 on pipes
* 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
