Default RE: Edge540 26cc

Gpar,

actually it's well engineered. I had in my hands a fuselage of the Maxair Velox Revolution (another plane well built and good flyer that I wanted to buy), even being shorter than the Edge one, is slightly heavier. The bottom of the fuse pratically don't exist. Just two balsa sticks running, covered in Oracover, but it's strong enough in torsion.
I think it's not a plane to rocket around in the sky (large flat tailplane and rudder could be prone to flutter), but for 3D and average flight speed should be a beast. On that weight and size you can accomodate a wide range of engines, 2T, 4T or small gassers.
I definetely like my Edge...
For Europe a friend of mine is going to start to distribute them, keeping unbeatable prices for this class (and quality) of models.

Bye.

Andrea
