Default RE: Edge - Too early?

Knowing which plane it is, I did a little research . I think its actually the "Powerline Edge 540". That plane is designed for a 46, so be careful with the ASP 61 on the nose. It will be more powerful, but its going to be a lot heavier (probably 225 g or 8-10 oz) than it would be with a 46. From the pictures it lootk to be pretty lightly built, so be careful of the engine mount/firewall. Making it heavier on the nose will also mean you'll probably end up adding some tail weight to balance it. That additional weight will make it closer to the dreaded tip stall on approach.
