Luke,

Very sorry to hear about your loss. Is it a total loss? Can any of it be salvaged/rebuilt? If there is anything (and I mean ANYTHING) you need, just let me know. I will try to help you out as much as I can.

At least the radio gear remained intact. Is the Saito a total los or can it be repaired? That alone is huge investment.

At least you are willing to give this great company another shot. I know many people that won't buy the same plane if it goes down, even if it was pilot error, deadstick, or whatever. At least you can take comfort in knowing that the Edge flew extremely well. Just chalk it up to experience and move forward. Try the VF Extra or SU-31. I know that I plan on getting the Extra in the near future and eventually the SU-31. Than I will have three of their great planes in my hangar.

Keep us posted and please keep up with the thread.
