I recieved the Filton Edge for a review and wanted to share the build with you all. It is an extremely well designed and built plane. The entire canopy hatch comes off and provides easy access to the batteries. I still do not understand why every manufacturer designs this feature (or a hatch of some sort) into all planes. It should be a designing norm now adays.

The plane is built very well and all of the glue joints are nice and tight. As mentioned earlier the entire hatch is one piece. It is secured in the front with two wooden dowels and the rear is held down using two screws and blind nuts. As usual though, I will abandon this method and use my favorite latching method. Ill cover that a bit later.
