Default RE: Phoenix Edge 540 1.20

Rich, if you want to just add your build right to this thread. it can be the official Phoenix Edge
540 1.20 thread.

Ameyam, only pattern planes fly pattern, thats why you don't see Scale aerobatic planes
flying in pattern competitiion (except in the sporstman class), I have had a few smaller edges and they aren't bad flyers, but like any of the .40-.90 size edges, extras, caps, yaks,
they always come out too heavy and fly heavy, and if you build them light they never
have enough engine to perform power hungry maneuvers. What I like about this plane is after
removing the pilot, and cockpit floor, no wheel pants, and getting rid of the huge tailwheel,
I will be using a LIFE 2300, for radio and ignition, and should come out about 8 pounds dry,
I am going with the smaller 8OZ tank, whick puts me at 8.5 pounds ready to fly. that is
more than light enough for the DLE 20.
