flymeaway,
I would like to see thoughts and ideas on the Edge 540 and the Extra 330 kits and Arfs. There were a couple threads 2 or 3 years ago when Aeroworks was handling the C A products. I purchased the 34% Extra 330 kit. Both are designed by great flyers.

I built the 27% Extra a few years ago. It was a ton of work but taught me a great deal. I remember a long thread on that bird and people seemed to really like the way it flew. I however am not really that impressed with mine. I must have built it a bit too heavy (16 #'s) for the Brillelli 46 as it didn't seem to track good and would flop out of maneuvers unexpectedly. I ripped the gear off (again) so I'm looking for a lighter bird for the 46. My 72" Aeroworks Yak hands down is a better flying plane than my Extra. Of course, much of the way it flies could very well be my fault.
I've never owned a CA ARF so I'm not sure how they fly.
