Ok, flight report. I have to agree with trpastor. WOW!! Flights were short , was way windier than they said it was going to be, 15 mph with 20 mph gusts. Did not bother the extra at all. But I started getting cold. 1 click of nose down trim was all that was needed, for hands off upright, and inverted flight. This is the easiest plane to hover that I have ever had, and I've had alot of 3D models. Got it locked into a hover, and the wind carried it right down the runway, with a very slow torque roll going, it brought a tear to my eye. The only plane I've had, that in a hover, I was able to let go of the sticks! Cant wait to see its torque roll with less, or no wind. It was doing waterfalls almost in place, very little altitude loss. Went right into an upright flatspin 1st try, very little effort, wasnt 100% flat, but too close to say it wasnt. Blender into an inverted flatspin was wild, very nice. Knife edge had zero coupling, and I mean none. Knife edge spins were pretty nice too. There was zero wing rock in an upright harrier, but I was going into the wind with very high alpha, so I turned it with the wind, had very little wing rock, did not even need to correct for it. Inverted harrier was rock solid no matter what I did. Elevator was text book. Wall had a little snap, but nothing to complain about. Rolling harriers and slow rolls were about as easy as it gets. I had 40 degrees on ailerons on high rates, got the rolling harries going fast without backing off the stick. Dropped ailerons down to 35 degrees, was much better. 50 degrees on the elevators and rudder, is right where I'm going to keep them, awesome 3D. I am a happy happy camper. This thing flies much much bigger than it is, I was shocked. I got comfortable so fast, flying low on the deck happened the 1st day out. 2nd flight actually  I could not see using anything less than a Saito 100, performance was just awesome.
As far as the Fliton Extra 330s VS the Aeroworks Edge 540. The edge is an awesome plane, flies great. But I have to give the trophy to the Fliton, hands down. Maybe I just got lucky on trimming and balancing, maybe the wind played a factor, but I could not find anything bad about this planes flight characteristics. It definately over shadowed the pain in the arse build. Well worth it. I didnt even get my gas Yak out of the truck, was having a ball!

If anyone has a canopy new or used in good condition I will buy it!!!
Google that store and you will find a long list of people they stole from.
) I would worry less knowing I could just repair my damage. I would really like to know the future of this plane?
