Well, had a successfull maiden of my Seagull Edge 540 yesterday.. Great weather in MD for it..

Airplane balanced level at 95mm aft of leading edge...
Flew with Saito 125, Hitec HS625MG's all around, and had a zero fuel wt. of 8lbs 11oz.

Broke engine in prior to flying and had 9000RPM Peak with 16x6 prop.. richened it up to about 8800 prior to flying..

Airplane flew GREAT.. I was really nervous as it was the first plane that I have "maidened" (except for a foamy).. Required one "beep" of right aileron trim and 2 beeps of up elevator.. Stalls were straight ahead with no wing rock. Inverted flight was mostly hands off.. Pitched slightly to the canopy on right to left knife edge.. The only thing that really suprised me was how much the plane pulled left on vertical uplines.. It has no right thrust, so I guess this is how it will be. Definitley enough rudder to compensate, but I was suprised how much it took compared to my Ultra Stick 60.

Landings were a non event, very stable and seems to slow down nicley. I think I made a few guys in the club nervous because I was "working" it down and they were worried it would "tip stall"..

All in all it seems like a great plane~ Looking forward to getting to know it better~
