Don't be looking to slow your edge down too much. You will find that when it is too slow it is not as crisp, expecially in tracking. It will need considerably more rudder in turns... though its good for practicing that if you do not mix it out. My experience with VF planes is that when let run they fly exceeding well, so well that after a few flights you just do not notice the speed. I always hear people commenting on their velocity, but most just don't notice if after a few flights cause they just do everything so instantly and so precisely. You don't feel like you are chasing the plane but flying with it. I usually prop by how much veritcle penetration I have and the control authority I get. The larger 2 strokes since they do not produce quite as much torque as the four strokes just lie a bit more rpm and they accelerate quicker turning a slightly smaller prop. I have flown my Edge with both a ST.90 2 stroke and a Magnum .91 4 stroke. Not sure which I like best. The Magnum is on it currently and not fully broken in yet so I have not brought it up to full power yet. I run my ST's a fair bit on the rich side because they have ample power for whatever I want, but I am in the spring when we get back to outdoor flying temps in Michigan, take it up to full song as well. Be interesting to see the comparison then.
