As always, the better the servo the better the performance. Everything that works in the v-2 Edge works for the v-1. Metal gears with 100 ounce inches of torque at the elevators for "relaxed" flying would be fine, but the first time you start to fly 3d the rudder could be a problem. Go with a mimimum of a 120 ounce inch servo there. The ailerons on version 1 are not as wide so an 80 ounce inch servo would work until you used 3D rates, then a 100 ounce inch servo would be needed.

Better to use 100 ounce inch servos at minimum everywhere except the rudder, where more is needed. The problem is not with the "relaxed" type flying. You don't need as much servo. But once you start flying the Edge and see how well it performs at all speeds you will just have to start pushing the envelope and more servo will immediately be required. The difference in cost between a better servo and a minimum servo isn't that great. Perhaps $50.00 to $75.00 for the entire plane. Don't you want the plane to fly as good as it could? I haven't met anyone yet that could maintain a "normal" type of flying with either version of this Edge. The compulsion to do more is absolutely irresistable.
