RE: PATTERN PLANE
Well I did a search and could not find such a question, I suppose it must be something other than "Pattern Plane". So it would be helpfull to post the link.
My understanding is that a pattern plane is an aerobatic aeroplane to meet the non scale aerobatic competition requirements. The Edge being a scale airplane is not a pattern plane per say, but may meet the rules and may even be competitive. If built especially for pattern the Edge would likely have a longer moment arm than the scale version as smoothness is important.
But I am not even a novice, so feel free to correct me if wrong.
