Re: 40% carden edge/zdz160 super
Nice work Andy.
Yeah, lots of build threads this winter....sweet. Nice to see the building bug slowly coming back. ARF's have their place. But the feeling of building a kit is totally different. Never pay again for live sex! | Hot girls doing naughty stuff for free! | Chat for free!

Re: 40% carden edge/zdz160 super
Late last night I got some copper wire and made a tool for the servo wire tunnel.Worked out much better than expected,even got some free cheese doodles.I also went over the plans and cut the phenolic stab tube and glued the 1/16 balsa cap on ,then I noticed the foam is cut much deeper than the plans for the phenolic tube which in turn made the aluminum stab tube to short by 3".So I went through my scrap airplane barrel and found a nice carbon tube that I remember did not fit in my other edge (was a little tight) but fits real pretty like in this one.So the longer stab tube it is.I always thought the other one was a little short anyway

Re: 40% carden edge/zdz160 super
I finally had a chance to get back on here and carry on with the progress.In the last couple days I got the stabs lightened but my playbook was dead so no pics,but the foam weighed 2.9 oz for each stab and I cored them the same way I did the vertical lost .7 oz per stab foam witch is almost 25% so not bad.yesterday got some flying in and borrowed some pipes to get my mounting set up and tunnel done.My re3's won't be in for a month or so.I also found the new Ultimate glue (superior formula) does what they say more so than the old(low foaming)which is the reason we use it I thought.

I have no doubt in my mind that the ZDZ 160 Super will eat a DA170 for breakfast in an acceleration from a hover!!! And with it, you get the smoothness!!!! T |

Re: 40% carden edge/zdz160 super
