Default RE: Wild Hare Edge First Flight

Tom, since weight is easier than taking the engine off, I will try this first. My CG is at 4.75 empty and the 32oz tank is just ahead of the wing tube so I would not think that my CG is far enough forward. I will try it. Are you also saying that an AFT CG makes the left thrust moment of the engine more pronounced?

It is suppose to be 60 degrees today, so I may try it out. My scotch tape is holding up well in holding the canopy on!

Speaking of engine weight, I think Geistware might have less issue with the right thrust if he would try a little more forward CG. I found flying IMAC that the Edge is much better about holding lines with a little more weight on the nose. I added 4 oz. to my DA-50 setup and it made a huge difference.
