Default RE: Edge - Too early?

Okay so I flew the Edge today. I was suppose too get the cowl cut before flying it this morning - but hey you don't know me do you .

Took it up just for a 2 minute or so flight just too get the feel for the plane and I was itching too fly again. The engine was very rich and wanted too die if you throttle up to quickly (which was still very slow - got it on the runway twice and everytime on pull it died) and the low end not right (that was fixed today when I went to get the cowl cut for extra ventilation). The plane didn't feel nose heavy at all - neither tail heavy. I only had too add 2 clicks left aileron trim to get it too fly straight.

Here is a video which I just slapped together in 30 seconds so it's not a good video - but I uploaded it for the flight - only put two clips together and a intro.

Hope the quality is good enough which I exported in. The video was taken with a digital cam so that's the reason for focusing slowly and I apologise. I did keep the plane high for obvious reasons.
