ORIGINAL: Arthur K

I am thinking of buying one from nitro models eather the edge or the Yak 54 for 120 size Aircraft

I can see the Yak construction on the site but the edge I have no clue what it looks like
does it have the open construction Plug in wings ? removable Hatch/Canopy
Is it full 3d capable ?????? someone let me know or if you have pics of the insides ??
help

Open construction:. If you mean "light ply" with little sheeting on say the fuse... yes.

Plug in wings: yes they screw in from the top, but they are joined together.

Removable Hatch/Canopy: The canopy must be removed to put the wings on/off.

"Full 3D capable": Only as much as Edges tend to be. I would not consider the Edge a true 3D plane, though if the C.G. is set back it has no problem hovering. It is not a plane for harriers, and other high alpha light loading moves though.

I saw one guy hear complain that this particular edge was a poor flyer, but he had overloaded it. Edge's tend to be very snappy and will drop a wing when they get slow if you load the wings down more than stated. It's important to keep the plane light for best performance.
