Default Ordered the Exteme Flight 60" Edge profile

I have flown most of all the profiles that are out there. Including the larger ones Like the Morris .60 Su-do-Khoi.
I liked that plane but my complaint with it was it comes out too heavy for the wing that comes in the kit.. LOL

I flew the P-Edge with a Saito 1.00 and it was a great combination.
I like the way the plane was built. VERY light construction, Huge surfaces, airfoiled tail, removable wings, accessible radio compartment, great hardware etc.

I think the advertised weight is going to be very close to what you get. I dont remember the weight on the plane I flew but even if its a little more than advertised the ample wing area will handle it.
Lets say it winds up at 8 pounds. (5 to 7 advertised) With 940 Sqin of wing the wing loading comes out to 19 oz/sqft. VERY light.

You are right. Chris is hitting the market with the right approach. He knows whats out there. Or, I should say, whats NOT out there. He designed his stuff to be unique and to fly like we want them to.
