1. The advice I haven't seen given here yet, which is key to improving your flying skill - When you fly, don't just throw the sticks around and see what happens and then try to recover - thats what we call "flying behind the plane". Instead, "get in front of the plane". In other words, fly with a purpose.
2. You mentioned 1.8 cm as your throw, but didn't really tell us which Edge 540 you're flying. You did say it has a .61 on the nose. Those throws will probably be a little tame, which may encourage you to use larger stick movements than you should be using. I generally look for 15-20 degrees on low rates, with 30 or more for high rates. Then I use some exponential to calm it down near the center of the stick.
1. Yip I always try to do that - trying placing the plane in exactly where I want it for example. Okay I did play around a lot with the sticks - see what combinations does what and how certain things affects the plane. Like I said I still have A LOT too learn.
2. Flying the Green Models 3D Edge 540 46. Okay I'm not quite sure about the degrees, but the degrees whould be close to what you mentioned there. I'm not used too exponential - never flew that way with my Stick. However I did put some (very very little) in on my rudder since I saw that I tend too feed in a bit of rudder when I pull back on the elevator and it's just too take this away, never happened with my Stick, but it could be that I wasn't holding the radio as when I fly (never thought about it until now), but I'll see in the air.

1. Why did you post if our comments aren't going to make any difference?
2. I believe you are looking for reinforcement for the conclusion you have already made....Good Luck on your flights......I do believe you can still learn alot from your stick...have someone show you how to do areobatics....and pratice.....I wish you well
1. It's not going too make a difference in the fact that I'm going too fly it. I just want too know what I'm letting myself in for. I sold the Stick (too pay for the engine replacement since the other engine was not going to make my flight experience fun - dying the whole time etc) so I don't really have any other choice than flying the Edge - that is why I made that comment. Yip I have done some aerobatics - I don't like just flying around in a block :P.
But if this is a stupid post then please, by all means, delete it. I was just wondering and gathering other peoples experiences and advice. If the people told me - NO YOU SHOULDNT EVEN TRY IT YOU ARE GOING TO CRASH IT - type of thing then yes I would have perhaps taking into consideration of getting someone who also flys an Edge and who has time to go with me onto a buddy system.
