Electric Edge 540 build log #7

I sorted the hardware for the bell crank mount today. I will run a slip in wing that can be replaced if damaged so putting the bell crank in the wing is not an option. I cut a piece of aluminum angle to 1” and trim it up. Bell crank bolts to that then glue/bolt the aluminum to the fuse from the outside. I am going to wait to install the mount until the fuse is covered. On the Warbird I ran connectors bolted direct to the bell crank and ran the flying lines right to it. On Edge 540 I am going to run Spectra flying lines and do not want to take a chance with them rubbing thru on the lead out guide so I will run typical steel lead out wires off the bell crank.

Edge will have a trick carbon fiber bell crank too

Warbird set up - flew it today 15-25 mph winds with Spectra lines
