Status: offline 		What made you decide to put a US 41 on it? I have always thought this engine was better suited for a piper cub, warbird or non aerobatic type plane. I have never owned one but have always heard they were heavy on weight and light on power. Have you flown it yet I would be interested in a flight report. What is the quality of the ARF? It looks really nice. What is the weight with the US 41 on it? I was looking at getting one but went with the Dave Patrick Edge 540 instead. I am thrilled with my DP Edge.

Status: offline 		the guy that it belongs to wanted to use the 41.I had one on a giant aeromaster it ran good and was very reliable.I haven't weighed it or anything like that yet.It has an adjustable engine box for balancing purpose.It is all laser cut wood han't found any flaws with it.

Status: offline 		Got one with a Brison 2.4 on it and it's an awesome flying airplane. Reminds me a lot of the old Ace Extra 260 but the Pacaero Edge is about 2/3 the weight of the 260 so is much more responsive. Absolutely superb flying airplane and I was very impressed with the hardware that came with the kit. Ken, What did you think of the instruction manual?

Status: offline 		You will find the prices of all the models if you go to the Winner Hobbies section of the website. The PacAero models are very well made, covered with Ultrakote and fly very well when fitted with engines in the recommended range. No need to overpower these, keep em light, you'll be happier.

Only the two smaller ones appear on the Winner Hobbies section.

Status: offline 		You're correct, there is no price listed for the new 85 inch edge yet. If you want a price try e-mailing his site : Info@winnerrc.com . The owner of Winner RC and designer of the Edges is a fellow named Johnson, good guy, very helpful and informative. May be a bit busy at this time of year, wears many hats, but is usually very responsive when I have called.

Status: offline 		Price on the Pacific Aeromodels 27% Edge 540T 82" wingspan according to the Jan 2004 issue of RC Modeler (page 12 ad) is $439.99. That is about the same price as the Dave Patrick Edge 540 from Chiefaircraft.com but the PA Edge does not have airfoiled tail surfaces, less wing area (PA 1,139 sq.in. vs DP 1,210 sq.in.). Those were the reasons I chose the Dave Patrick Edge.

Status: offline 		I stand corrected, it looked like it had flat tail surfaces from the pics I had seen. I agree the WH Edge 540 has the best price and specs I am just not crazy about the covering scheme. I probably should have waited and tried to get the WH Edge in white but I love my DP Edge. What engine you putting in the WH Edge?
