Okay I officially gave up with my Edge, we set the mixture this morning again and it sounded fine - although it wanted too die every now again after it's been idling for a couple of seconds and when you give throttle it goes again. We got it too that it didn't do it anymore (but we probably didn't let it idle long enough) and decided I'm going too take it up - BAD DECISION! Gave full throttle and off it went it started too choke just before the end of the runway and I decided it's either ramping it over the pile of ground at the end and hope it doesnt hit a hole or let it go up and hope for the best - next BAD DECISION - it decided too push it. It went up and choke choke it died and stalled completely only a couple of feet from the ground and went into a nose dive - I flared just before the ground and got the nose a couple of inches up but it still hit...

The one side of the prop broke off, the cowl got cracked at the bottom and on inspection I saw the top right corner of the firewall also broke loose.

I don't know what too do anymore (I have checked the fuel tank and all the tubes) I thought it was the mixture setting which was at fault but seems I was wrong. The engine starts without a problem but doesn't want too idle and as soon as you give throttle for take off - a second or two afterwards it chokes.

Going too take the plane too the hobby shop and ask them too please fix it for me and also maiden the plane. Otherwise I'm going too write it off before its proper maiden voyage.

I did fly my Stryker (with my LIPO) again this morning afterwards with the wind coming up - was great fun!
