I have never seen the edge fly, but so far it looks like it is going to be a good one as well. the Sig fazer is a good kit, you can modify it and make is a better kit.
I have owned the Sig Something Extra, modified heavily, It was a great sport plane but it isn't a fun flyer at all.

Status: offline 		Somebody does make an Edge profile but I am not familiar with it so I will poke around and see if I can come up with a Website for it.

I am a huge fan of the Morris planes. I have had a Fun-design, Su-Do-Khoi ARF and a Top Cap. If you wan to learn 3D on a plane that will do it yet, be trainer like when you screw up get a Morris plane.
I am flying a Top Cap right now with Saito .72 and its UNREAL! It will do anything.
Give consideration to a four cycle for these planes as well. They allow you to swing a larger prop at a lower speed wich IMO is the key to 3D'in these planes. Two cycles will do it but, you have to be turning higher RPM's to develop the power needed for 3D.

I Initially had a Webra .50 2 cycle in my Top Cap. It flew it very well. Then, I flew someones Su-Do-Khoi with YS .63 and was convinced immediately to get a four cycle for it.

Heres my Top Cap.

Status: offline 		Hi Carletto, the Laser 3-D and similar types are excellent for learning 3-D with smaller size. There are ARF's such as the Diablotin that will get you right into that arena. They react a bit slower and less twitchy than the smaller profile models, and that might help your learning curve. Fast servos and lots of surface deflection will help greatly.
