Castle has killed the golden goose. My Edge would randomly throttle back to about 50%, upon calling castle they told me to not fly the controller due to the problem with 28 pole motors. I have a Hacker Q80-11s. As a beta tester for Castle for the Edge (about a YEAR ago) , the Edge caught on fire in my NEW Episode, returned to Castle and never any explanation of the problems....The motor in my Episode was a Plettenburg Advance. The best comment from customer service was to my question: I plan to attend the NATS do you have an alternative to the Edge? Answer "NO" How do I practice? We suggest not flying the Edge with the Hacker due to the problem that it may catch on fire!!!!! So there is no solution to my problem. ":NO" How can I fly at the NATS...............no answer
I bought a MEZON About 40% more power and bout 5% less battery usage!
As a very experienced pattern flier I am not endorsing any Castle products again.
