Default RE: Is your WH Edge "snap-prone" ??

My setup:
DA-50 w/Slimline Pitts
5945's on ailerons and elevator halves
8611 on rudder w/pull pull
5425 digital on throttle
ball bearing standard airtronics on choke
2 2150 NiMh's @ 6v on rx
1 2150 NiMh @ 6v on ignition
weight approx 18lbs
CG 5 1/4 inches
ailerons 45deg up and down
elevator 50deg up and 55deg down (has room to go to 55 up and 60 down with linkage as pictured)
rudder 45deg (horns hitting fuse sides)

This plane flys like a dream, floats on landings and has no snap tendancies. Fly along at 1/2 throttle and pull full up and just slides into a wall, rock and snap free. Winds up so tight in knife edge spin that its a blur, I have 4 gallons through it so far and love it more every time I fly it.
