Status: offline 		I'm trying to find myself a little fatty for next season. Is the small AeroWorks plane all it's cracked up to be? Does it weigh what they say?

I had one of the first AW Edge 540T 60-90 planes, and really didn't care much for it. It was way heavier than the ads of the day, but otherwise OK I guess.

If the AW plane isn't "all that", what little fatty is out there that you do like?

Please don't say Funtana 40.

I'd like 6 poundsish...
Nice big wing...
Scale type of plane, no U-Should-Try 3D planes...
Arf preferred, but I can build too...

Status: offline 		I just put one together for a friend and he put 3 flights on it the other day. Weather has not been the greatest here. It has a YS 91 for power. I cut the engine box down an inch to install that motor. Ballance was right on the money for aerobatics, (just behind recomended). At 5600 ele. the plane has very good verticle performance out of a hover and the plane tumbles very well. It will do nice torque rolls and waterfalls. It also does knife-edge loops very well, and lands nicely also. Thats about all I can tell you for now. Don't know the weight yet.

Status: offline 		Twister I have been flying our prototype for about 2 mounths know and all I have to say is wow. The plane flys very light wich makes since being that its only 6#'s with a .91. This weight is not at all falseified there are know about 3or4 of our edges where we fly and all are coming in at 6#'s or vary close. The quality is amazing and the build time is so fast. We where planing on just calling it an arf but after building a few and talking to our customers who have built them we decided a new name was needed to describe how easy it was wich is why we are calling them ARFQB's the QB stands for quick build which believe me is not just an advertizing gimic but pure fact. Trust me if you decide on this plane you will not be disappointed.

Status: offline 		How are harriers and elevators both upright and inverted? How about knife edge coupling/tendencies? I'm very interested in this plane and have a Saito .82 looking for a home. I'm dying to see some video of it.

Status: offline 		Both are vary stable and as far as coupiling goes there isnt even enough to trim out. I can do knifeedge circles all day long in any deirection and the plane is rock solid no matter what I do. It is by far one of the better .40 size plans Ive flown.

I will post video when I get it flying.

Status: offline 		I have not really heard any great things coming out of the aeroworks edge in this size range. Get your self a fliton extra 330 freestyle. I am a profile guy myself but this plane is hard to put up at the end of the day. It will hang in there with the EF Yak. The Yak is ahead but its by a SMALL margin. ONLY $200 and its in stock, with Composite gear and CF wing tube. Other than this maybe you want to look towards the powerline Edge, I have seen great videos of that one.
Or do what I did, buy a hybrid and get the best of both worlds

Fliton Extra 330s 59 3/4 in wingspan. 635sq in. wing 6.5lbs electric powered

New Aeroworks Edge 540T 46-60 60in wing 693 sq in. 6.0 lbs Saito 100 powered

Status: offline 		nope sorry I will stay with my aeroworks edge. I love how this plane goes together. This is one of the best arf kits i have ever owned. Besides i like to be different ever since i read on here how good the F90 is. Sure it flys great if you can keep it together. Besides aeroworks customer service has been great! I had a few questions for them and they were more than willing to help out, unlike some of the bigger companies i have had the pleasure to deal with. But if you are happy with the plane you have, that is all that matters. As of right now I am sold on aeroworks!

You're right, customer service is awesome.

Status: offline 		I got mine put together 2 weeks ago...I only have Saito 72 with 14x3.75 prop for power...that's what I had available laying on the shelf ...It could use more power (maybe WildCat 30% heli fuel will do the trick) but it flies very smooth and straight...still have to do some CG tweaking but I could not fly it this week...My LHS called and said not to fly it until some fix comes in and gets installed...They did not know what the problem was...I emailed Aeroworks yesterday but nothing back yet..So I don't know...just waiting for now.

Status: offline 		Can you measure the length of the mount. that definatly looks like the problem if thats the case we can send you a new one. call the shop tomorrow tell them that you talked to mark and give them the measurments and hopefully that will be the problem and we can get you a new one asap. I apologize for the inconvienience.

Status: offline 		last but not least. Notice the contact of carb bolt with mount bolt at firewall (vibration damage if mounted this way) Also this goes against recommendations of "not more than 4 3/4 in from firewall to thrust washer" (for cowling spacing) Like this it would be at 5 3/16 in.
