Okay guys and gals...

for the up coming year (2011) we will have a brand new design we want to offer; it's a 46-51 size Profile of the Edge 540

The prototype is underway, so we will post pics a little later in the week.

The kit will have all Laser cut parts, Adjustable L.O. guide, Weight box, Wheel pants and Prebent Wire landing gear.

.46-.51 Profile
55.5" W.S.
654" W.A.
37" Length

Depending on overall cost and interest; we may have Dural gear but that is not for sure

A full fuse version I'd be instersted in...profile - not so much.

Make it full fuse and have a decal set made of Kirby's paint job illustrated here, and I'll buy it. Gid Adkisson and Bob Whitely will have some great ideas for such a design.

Specs on the big boy are:
WING SPAN: 60"
WING AREA: 708.5 SQ. IN.
LENGTH: 42 15/16"
ENGINE SIZE: .51-.65

Hey Walter,

Just curious ... when is the Trident kit going to finally be released?

That's the one I've been waiting for.

Thank you very much John but the credit belongs to Dennis Lipsett,
he's building this prototype for me, as he also did the Griffon II and
the Manx Cat IV prototypes

I was wondering who's shop that was.

john e. holliday · « **Reply #14 on:** December 07, 2010, 03:37:00 PM »

Yeah, too messy, isn't it??

Not yet,
the prototype's almost done, and we still have to test fly it.

Chris McMillin · « **Reply #19 on:** January 02, 2011, 05:28:15 PM »

Looking good, Walter. A nicely built profile.

I continue to like this design and your new kit.

wait till you see the prototype, it's getting close to being finished,
we're waiting on the graphics, then pending the weather, it'll be
waiting for a test flight.

builditright · « **Reply #22 on:** January 25, 2011, 02:38:22 AM »

okay guys and gals,

Dennis has informed me he is almost done with the profile

and I should have some photos to post tomorrow.

John Stiles · « **Reply #23 on:** January 25, 2011, 07:50:59 AM »

Man that is one sweet looking profile, Walter.........and outstanding build pics no doubt. Makes me nearly wet my jeans wanting one! I'm gonna start saving for it right away!

John,
Get the full fuselage model when Walt makes it available. You need a home for that large bore engine you own.
