Default RE: Dave Patrick Edge 540

A guy in our club has a DP Edge with a DA50... It flies good but weighs 16.2 pounds... That is almost 31 oz per sq. ft. of wing loading. It will hover and will do 3D, but that wing loading is really too high... Also the engine is really rattling it to peices.

I am only familiar with the 79in Edge, but it really isn't built for a gas engine if you want to do 3D.

If you put a DA 50 on this plane you will have problems with vibration although it will probably fly great until it comes apart!
