11 months into the hobby and I just purchased my first 3D which is the Aerowrks 90 size 540T Edge. What I started off with was the Avistar migrating to the WM super stunt 60 and then to the H9 Aersti. Comparing the Aersti to the Edge I must say that the Aersti keeps me a lot more busy then the Edge does. If I had to classify the Aersti I would class it as more like a pattern, although it does have some nice aerobatic characteristics such as knife edges etc.....


The WM super stunt 60 is nothing but a kite with an engine, sorta speak. I would put any new beginner on this plane for learning as the Hugh wing and loading really gives it nice floating characteristics. Hence would work really well in a fun fly like the time and glide event, not to mention its 80" wing span allows it into the big bird events.

that progression sounds about right. i've been in the hobby for 7 months, and i'm assmeblying my aeroworks edge currenly. i started with a hobbistar 60, then on to a yak-18(rip due to horiz stab failure in flight) then a pegasus 40T and now an ultra stick 40. i think from what i've read here and heard from others that the edge wil be a great plane for me. it sounds like the plane is very sensitive to cg change, so you can start it around 3.75 to learn the plane and slowly move it back as you become comfortable with. i can't wait to finish mine. now i just have to decide if i want to pop for the ys 120 or go cheap with the ys 91.
