Hnager 9 Edge 540 Performance
It always drops the right wing first, so I tried to reflex the right aileron slightly with no effect.
To the best of my Robart incident meters, there is no warp in the wing.
I noticed last week end that the Edge would spin with aileron and elevator control only. Yes it was a stalled spin, it surprised me so much I repeted several times to verify. It was not a spiral.
I have about 30 flights on it now, but mt tets flight was almost identical to cd3217. My SAito died after just a few minutes of flight. I was high and over the end of the runway. The wind was about 12-15 mph. I decided to spiral down from where I was, which would put me right over the end of the runway. As soon as the edge came around into the wind, it snapped. I was able to recover from that ,but as soon as i grabbed some elevator , it snapped again. This time i was able to get it flat before it hit a recently plowed field. It took the landing gear and everything below the blue trim off the airplane.
Needles to say i am not happy with the Edge
