Default RE: Vectorflight Extra & Edge, How do they fly

Ekir,

The Vectorflight Edge is one impressive flying machine! I was amazed by the laser cut quality of the airframe and finish of the airplane. I usually fly 1/4 scale and use the Vector Edge when I can't haul around the big birds. You can tell that it is a solid, functional design, with the refined and graceful performance of larger airplanes. I am flying with a saito 1.00 which is enough power for almost unlimited verticals and any maneuver you can throw at it. Snaps execute like a dream. Knife edges are easy as long as you want, with no tuck or roll coupling. Regarding the wings they are a bit more time consuming to install at the field than a tube design, but it is easy enough after a few times. The left and right wing halves are bolted together using extensions of the main spars, and to be fair this is the conventional method in full size airplanes. The tube method is never used in a full sized aerobatic airplane for structural reasons.

Instructions are not the best and assume that you know the basics of putting an ARF together. Also the wheel pants are a pain.

Overall a great airplane at a great price. Highly recommended!
