I flew my WH edge this year in IMAC. Great plane to fly. Roughly 90% of the planes I saw were extras. Reason prolly being, is the extra is easier to stall a wing out for some of the manuevers you have to fly. The le on the edge is straight, so its dang near impossible to stall out a wing. Dont get me wrong it can be done, but can be lil hard. Im flying the basic class again this year and my coach told me to keep flying the edge, so that when I do move up I can move to my extra , it will be abit easier so to speak. I think the reasoning is if I can get the edge to do the manuvers required then doing them with the extra will a snap. The season is over now so I have all winter to practice and get ready for the 06 season. If I were to pick a plane to start out with I would prolly go with an extra, for ease of flying I guess the edge would be a good one to go with. Ive flown both planes and love the way both planes fly, so its gonna be tough to pick LOL.
