Default Another Edge Maiden

I finally got to fly my Edge today and all I can say is UN-BE-LIEVABLE!!!! Ive flown quite a few planes over my 20 year RC life and hands down this is the best flying machine Ive flown..Take off was less than 50 feet and was like I was flying a trainer! 1 click of up elevator and 1 click of right aileron and it was flying hands off...Winds were between 10-15 mph..Landing was almost boring..as soon as I chopped the throttle it began descending and just a slight touch of up elevator and it touched down like a feather! I didnt do anything crazy just some loops, rolls, some inverted flat spins etc..landed and checked out the insides and flew 3 more times..
I had the DA-50 slightly rich but man that thing pulls like a mule!! More than enough power...

I want to give a big thank you to Silversurfer..From beginning to end he always had time to answer my questions and gave excellent advice..Thanks Pat!

Bad news is my other glow planes are now extinct..[8D]

My setup is
8611's all around
DA50 Slimline Pitts
MSC 22-8
3 2400 Fromeco Relions/Reliaswitches
Futaba 9c
Toms FG
Troy CF Tube

Another one of your babies has flown the coop Tom!!
