Default RE: Wild Hare 35% Edge

I can assure you that it will indeed float like a butterfly. Ask RTK and Altavillian.

At ultra low speeds and full control throws the plane remains under full control and does not unexpectedly depart from controlled flight unless you tell it to do so. At normal flight speeds it can be effectively used for IMAC. Pitch coupling is quite low in KE without any mixes in place. That surprised me quite a bit since it's a single seat Edge. It holds a line nicely and is not at all yaw "wobbly". All of that with a plane that was a bit on the nose heavy side (8 ounces of nose ballast) for the first flights for conservative purposes. It gets even better with the cg on the center of the wing tube.

I think I prefer the appearance of the single place canopy version over the two seater.
