RE: 30 cc Edge 540
Don't know the weight . But the DLE 30 has power enough ti handle anything . Even accurate up out of a hover. The landing gear is strong enough , but I have huge wheels. I fly off a grass field and the small included wheels can hang up and strain the gear. Big loosely fitting wheel help with that issue.
I do not know what you mean by tubes or Tail all cf.
It balanced perfectly , with a bit of weight in the tail , about an ounce. The device included to balance the plane is a joy and works perfectly . Balancing without it would not be this easy . This device should be standard on every plane .
They were never any issues at all. I have 65 flights on it . No crashes . The DLE starts every time and broke in with no fuss. I use 144 oz digital Hitec servos and a six volt battery with a IBEC. Ss I do a lot of check of the status of the battery once I get past 5 flights or 50 minutes minutes of running time . My Tx keeps track of the total elapsed the plane is turned on each flying session. But I have never had a problem with the battery . If I ever did I would go to a two battery setup. I have a channel for very servo and fly JR .
I love flying the plane , it has no bad habits or surprises . Nothing has very broke of even bent on it . So I have never had to fox anything.
It is not a floater . And takes a bit practice to land. You cannot just chop the throttle and glide it in . You must keep the speed up as well as the nose. A few well timed throttle blips is all it really takes.
The plane taxi's well , but I do not like taxing any plane as it puts a lot of unnecessary strain on the gear . So I usually walk out an dget it unless there are people waiting to fly and then I will taxi it in.
I love the plane , it flies beautiful , never had any kind of problem and one more thing . The is very skilled pilots at my field can do more with it than I can and are always asking to fly it. One of them wanted it as a back up for his plane at an IMAC meet.
