Default RE: Vector Flight Edge 540 Looking for info

Mine will float a lot if you flare it high on landing. Dont expect it to sink like other aerobatic airplanes. Now I fly it down to about 3 feet off the ground before chopping the throttle, and it will settle down quickly. Also if your CG is too far back it will refuse to come down and just keep flying at a veery slow speed! I believe the concensus is that 4 inch CG works best to minimize float. I was planning to use a Surpass 1.20 but decided against it. 91fx pulls it straight up off the deck as far as I can see!

I have to agree with David, the hard wing is probably the reason why the plane flies so well fast and slow. It doesnt get much better than that IMO. 300 plus flights!![8D]
