Default RE: edge 540 help

kdouglas03,

My first plane was an Edge 540, and I had no problems flying it.
Contrary to what everyone will tell you, they aren't that hard to fly.
IMO, if you've had two years of experience, you'll probably be O.K.
But you will have to be the judge of your own abilities.

You have to constantly fly her, because it won't "right itself" like a trainer
will (although I have no experience flying a trainer). If you aileron roll the
plane on to it's side, it will stay there until you roll it back. I flew mine
around on low rates for a month, always making slow wide turns, practicing
my rudder usage. I still haven't had a single tip stall on final approach.

I would recommend that you ask around in your club if anyone has an
RC sim that you could try. That should give you a pretty good idea of
what to expect.
