Default edge

Yes it is the hangar 9. I realize that sounds real light, but it has mini's in the tail, moose carbon fiber, foam wheels, and I changed out the JR battery and replaced with light nickel metal custom pack. The digital scale put it exactly 10.5, no weight added anywhere.

I was told it should be more like 19 pounds of thrust, but I was only turning 8700 w/apc 18x6w. I think it should probably turn it around 9000 nice wihout running too lean, gonna try again today.

Charlie, the edge flys great. The tank had a huge whole in with a crack on the top, fuel got everywhere. Engine would run erratic till i realized the problem. Changed the tank from an 18 to 20 ounce and am getting 12 minute flights with half a tank left to go.
