Default RE: BME Edge?

Both the Challenger & Edge were flown with BME 50's...

The Ultimate was with a BME 110 Extreme. (not surprisingly)

Max told me that he was very pleased with the flying characteristics and the quality of construction. He went to China to test fly the prototypes, then had a production unit of each shipped so he could test them direct.

The Edge is 85" and if I recal correctly came it at 15.5 lbs all up. That's an inch more than the WH Edge and about 1.5 lbs lighter. When I asked how he said that they were built solidly, but light for flying not heavy for crashing.

The GP Patty Wagstaff Extra (78"?) comes in around 16.5 so this must really be something. I test flew the Patty for a customer I built it for and thought if felt fairly light. Man this thing is gonna rock.

The first short batch of Ultimates are due in any day and I have one coming. I will share my findings of it's quality, design and flight as I promised to do a building thread.
