OMP Hobby Edge 540 - Carbon Kevlar 60 inch RC Plane

The usual suspects at WRCS got together on Christmas Eve this year. Many brought unflown planes and so the morning was full of maiden flights!
One of them was Tim's OMP Hobby Carbon/Kevlar reinforced 60 inch Edge 540. What a great plane and captivating colour scheme.

Nice flying! Am about to purchase the PNP version and was wondering if you recommended a certain Rx? Would kind of like one with stabilization just incase I got in a bind. I have a TX16s radiomaster. Thank you!

[@JimmyDsRC]

Thanks for the comment Brandon. I think you can't go wrong getting a receiver with stabilization. I use Spektrum receivers because I was grandfathered in via JR (an old radio brand). If you have the multiprotocol TX16s you could go that route. There are Spektrum naysayers however, just like anything to do with the hobby. If you ask 5 different gold winged members at the field the same question, you'll get 5 different answers! I like to have my ailerons on different channels so I can dial in differential as required, so you'll want a 5 channel receiver minimum if you're going to do the same.

@@JimmyDsRC thanks for replying. I ended up going with lemon Rx and wish I wouldn't have because it's the only one I've ever had lose signal and cost me my Omp Edge. I've never been so let down. Will be going with spektrum once I get a new fuselage.

@@brandonwesson6818 Oh man! What a bummer! I'm really sorry that happened to you. Hopefully there were some salvageable components!

[@brandonwesson6818]

@@JimmyDsRC well I ended up using some epoxy wood glue on it for now and it's back in the air lol motor mount isn't as stable as it was originally. I love the plane so much ill be replacing it with a new one for sure!
