Default RE: Edge 540 or Extra

The only thing I would add is that Magics and UCDs have low wing loading, just like you said, however, edges and extras don't. I don't think there's a whole lot of difference between a trainer and a .46 UCD, but there's much more difference between a UCD and a 28% Edge or Extra!! Granted, larger planes are easier to fly, but you still have to get used to them. They are not the same as a .40 sized trainer. I think that's a big leap. Even small edges especially, drop when coming in to land too slow, they tip stall and snap if given too much elevator throw. They are just harder to handle, and I haven't even flown the big ones much. Just my opinion.
