Default RE: Hangar 9 540 Edge Crash on Maiden flight!

thanks for all the replies so far! I appreciate the input from everyone..... the 'fondue' fork in the back of the fuse is still in tact and appears to be sturdy.. while I don't personally like that kind of set up either, it does not appear to be the cultprit. A CG problem is possible, maybe, but unfortunately all I have to go by w/ regards to that is recollection. We added 2-1/2 ounces of weight to the tail to get her to balance,, we balanced her right behind the main spar. it seemed to be fine, but it was a quick field test; not on a balancing stand. I'm not sure if it took off too soon or not.
