I will post a build on this bird. I'm going to put a Saito 56
in this one. I will try to post some video too.
I'm also interested in the 50cc class edge from them too.
I have been following a build on it.Just waiting for some video
of it. Thought I would try a smaller one to check out the qualityof these models.

Status: offline 		I'm hoping to try to fly the 50CC version this weekend.

I don't know how many times I've gone over it in anticipation of it's maiden.

Yesterday I changed out the elevator pushrods, servo horns, and linkages, as I was not quite satisfied with the way I had it. I was not getting as much maximum travel as I expected too. Now I do... ( my horn arms were too short, I went with medium length HD Dubro servo arms instead, and Dubro snap metal clevises ).

I'm taking a camera with me, so if I can get someone to do the videos at the field I'll post them...

And can it hover with plenty of throttle left. Let me know thanks !

Looking forward to what everyone thinks of this plane! There were mixed reviews of the smaller one...

Status: offline 		The only complaint I have is the advertized flying weight is 3.25 lbs.
But on the instruction book it says 5.5 lbs. Not sure if my Saito 56
can make this bird dance on it's prop.

Status: offline 		THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING THE QUESTION!!!

Their ad says flying weight is 3.25 lbs....I was gonna jump on this asap. But now that this plane weighs the same as all the other 55" aerobats out there, not gonna buy it.

I would have been pi**ed if I got it only to find it weighs over 5 lbs.

Did you expect it to be made out of CF for that price?

That is disappointing as the wing loading on this aircraft 3.25 lbs for the 508 sq in was better than the Yak's advertised 5.2 lbs for 616 sq in. Now I'm leaning towards the Yak if the Edge truly does weigh 5lbs....

Let us know when you get it together how it turns out...

Status: offline 		Anybody get this thing flying yet? I've purchased one and am in the assembly process (3rd plane I've built). It taking a long time to build because the instuctions that came with it aren't even for this plane. Any help on the motor mounting (putting a evolution 46nx in) and servo installation would be great. I'd love to see one flying as well if theres any videos out there.
