The Edge is probably too big for your set up. I have a Rimfire 50-65-450 running on a Flightpower 5s1p 5000 and Mystery 80A ESC in mine. My AUW is just under 7 lbs. I get 800-900 watts on an APC 16x10E, but I think I need a little more prop to get 1000 watts. Unfortunately, Fliton has stopped making thier Freestyle line (.60 size glow) and seems to be concentrating on their slightly smaller "large parkflyer" line (which doesn't really fit into the AMA's parkflyer criteria).
Your set up seems like it would fit their AJ Extra 330S or their new JG Extra 260. Otherwise, you may try Hyperion or Extreme Flight RC. They both have nice ARFs in the 50" wingspan range.
What didn't you like about the AJ Extra? I know my Edge was tough to balance, but once I got the CG dialed in, it flys like a giant-scale.
Good luck on your search. Keep us posted on your descision. - TT

Good lookin Redbull Extra, but no flight reports to go off of yet.

Good luck,

Can you post some pictures of the kit? It looks pretty interesting.
