Hi Sal,

Thanks for the words of comfort I do agree with you in every respect. A lot of guys try to use this the Edge as a third plane, and expect it to fly like a trainer indeed. Your idea of CG location seems to be right based on the threads on this. I will try that CG.
Though our club is huge in giant scale, I am the first to have the H9 Edge 540, all the other guys have 33% upward. I would love to see the pics of yours and see your views on your Edge. Please email me or post the details. I will be using all HI-TEC digitals HS5625mg for the control surfaces and a HS 81 mg for throttle and choke. I chose the digitals for their speed, consistency, torque and ability to program them. For my remote kill I have built an electronic ignition switch using optical switching. I still have to do a bit of research on keeping ignition and receiver circuitry isolatedas the optical switch will be integrated with the ignition. Unfortunately, I will not be able to fly my Edge until mid April to early May because of winter. Though NY is around 50 mins flying time from here, our winters are a whole lot worse than yours. I fly smaller planes on skis on the snow though. Did you look at Dick Hansons site on building an engine mount box and how to save weight on the Edge? Let me know I can send you the link. It was really nice of you to reply.
