I finished my edge yesterday. I would agree that hinging is a pain in the butt because of the covering. The ailerons went on pretty easy, but the elevator and rudder were a bit tricky. The mini funtana went together quicker tho(i have 2 too

but im still pleased with the overall plane. the landing gear appears as though it will work better (both funtanas ripped off) I had no problem with balancing issue, but i did use the pull pull rudder. The cowling fit on with no major problems(i learned the trick of tracing out the screw holes on paper and taping it to the plane, then you can put the cowl on and see exactly where to screw) I think the plane looks awesome! It was harder to build than the funtana, but i think it was worth it.
I havent had a chance to fly yet.. but i ran it inside with my himax 2025 -5300kv , phoenix 35, with a 2100 lipo, 12-6 prop...i think it will easily hover at 1/2 throttle...hopefully find out soon. Did i mention how good it looks?
