Default Dave Patrick Edge 540T

I just bought one. Kit looks great. Very lightweight. Dave seems to have included just about everything needed to complete. I have been in this hobby for 8 years and have never seen an ARF so good. Obviously flights will determine all and are a little while away yet but I have also built a number of planes from .40 size up to a Carden 35% cap and along the way a number of ARFs. I don't think I could build this plane any better then they have and I consider myself a pretty darn good builder.

I plan on bolting on a BME 50 which while overkill, is not that much more weight than the big Mokis and I know how to manage a throttle.

I have an RC America 80" Cap 232 with a Brison 3.2 on it that flys awesome. The Edge is roughly the same size but a lot lighter in construction.

We'll see.
