RE: Carl Goldberg 67" Edge 540 ARF
Took my Edge up the other day for some spins, flat spins, inverted flat spins and knife edge spins. Had a buddy trying out the Waterfall but it didn't pan out at the time. He needs to work on it and the plane needs a little more tuning. As to the engine, I have a Saito 120S on there and when I initially set it up the CG came right in at the rearward mark. The power is sufficient to give it hovering power plus pull it straight up out of a hover. I'm surprised that they are gradually discontinuing the Goldberg lines. This plane is a great design and has flown well everytime I put it in the air. Just make sure you counterbore the hinge pockets so the base of the hinge will fit in there and allow the surfaces to fit up tight. I put JR Sport 126mg servos on both elevator halves and the rudder and then standard 47BB servos throughout the rest of the airframe. If my dumb thumbs shoot my Edge out of the sky.......I'm getting another just like it.....If they still have them available.....
