(Back to the original question regarding the Extra Special. vs. Edge engine compatibility.)

Tom, What is the difference in the CG locations between the two wing types?

Is the additional wing loading of the Extra's noticeable?

I love that R-W-B Extra Special Scheme. ...
On the Extra the CG is a little farther back so a DA 50 balances perfectly with the batteries on the Rx tray. On the Edge you need the batteries in front and may need a few ounces of ballast depending on your style.

What additional wing loading? The Extra wing area is 1365, the edge is about 1360. THat original calculation of 1390 was a little off.
