SJ -
The Edge is probably too big for your set up. I have a Rimfire 50-65-450 running on a Flightpower 5s1p 5000 and Mystery 80A ESC in mine. My AUW is just under 7 lbs. I get 800-900 watts on an APC 16x10E, but I think I need a little more prop to get 1000 watts. Unfortunately, Fliton has stopped making thier Freestyle line (.60 size glow) and seems to be concentrating on their slightly smaller "large parkflyer" line (which doesn't really fit into the AMA's parkflyer criteria).
Your set up seems like it would fit their AJ Extra 330S or their new JG Extra 260. Otherwise, you may try Hyperion or Extreme Flight RC. They both have nice ARFs in the 50" wingspan range.
What didn't you like about the AJ Extra? I know my Edge was tough to balance, but once I got the CG dialed in, it flys like a giant-scale.
Good luck on your search. Keep us posted on your descision. - TT

Just bought an E-flite Ultra Stick 25E. I maiden it yesterday afternoon. It was a little windy, so could not trim it properly but it flew great. It weights about 3-1/2 pounds (flying weight).

If you want to fly as if you just set your hair on fire - get a 47" 3DHobbyshop Velox..recommended on 4S but the lighter 3S setup is supposed to be _REALLY_ fun.

Good lookin Redbull Extra, but no flight reports to go off of yet.
Good luck,
Brian

3DHobbySHop is due to release the 51" Andrew Jesky Slick in a month +/-, you may want to take a serious look at it. From the buzz, it is going to be something special.
