Maudib.. you need to live in AZ or FLA!! With all those planes you need to fly more! I can see why you have so many though.. more time to build than weather to fly.
I lived in the Midwest part of my life and while the area was nice, the weather was the worst in the country.

I'd still build the edge!! ... it does fly very nice.. I was out this AM before the wind kicked in.. MUCH BETTER now that I have it balanced. Vertical performance is surprisingly good for the weight, probably will only get better as the engine runs in. I have not wrung it out yet.. I want to make sure everything is secure before I start thrashing, but the few things I did do were quite nice (flat spin, harrier, TR)...

My guess is this plane flies just like the WH does... its about the same plane and built by the same company.. unfortunately.. same weight too.


I'm still not happy it weighs as much as it does, but I can't tear it apart (again) so I will enjoy it as is. I think its one of the nicest looking edges out there so that is a plus. Still- I can't wait for the Velox to get here.. I think that plane has a lot of potential..


My opinion - I think you should bash the BME and make it a 3D monster!
I would put good money that you could get to under 16 pounds.
