Default RE: BME Edge?

Flew the Edge yesterday and this AM.... ahh what a nice flying plane. I ended up reducing the throws to 15* on low, 25* on med and 45* on high rates.
I also reset (reduced) the trim rate from 4 to 1 on this model.. the surfaces are so well set up that only one tick makes a diff on trim.. !


I had 4 perfect flights so far, smoothe as glass. Working on the flight trim now.. Engine thrust could be another full degree, but I got rid of the left pull by mixing a throttle curve / rudder mix..

I flew the first 4 diagrams of the IMAC basic pattern today and the plane flew perfectly... it was my thumbs that could be a little better trimmed!


Flipped on high rates... holy S*IT does this thing do NICE snaps!! I did 3 upline snaps and a tail slide into a tail spin... FUN!!


I think I am going to like this plane... now if I can just get this DA50 to idle down on not quit on me at low throttle settings..
