I have a question that someone here could probably answer. I started out by myself with a Hobbyzone Super Cub, then went to a nitro trainer. I have been flying the trainer for a while now and can do anything the trainer can do...no accidents and can land it perfectly every time. My question is, would it be possible to go from the trainer to a 75" Edge 540 with a 26cc gas? I know that this is a 3D capable airframe...but I want to know how the plane flies when the rates and throws are turned down. I can fly all day including a full 3D routine on the simulator, and I know that there is a large difference between a sim and a real plane. My only curiousity is, can I fly something like the edge through a few flights without turning it to toothpicks? I dont want to purchase and build another aircraft that I will not want to fly forever, just as a stepping stone. I am not an advanced pilot, but I would think I could turn the rates on low and decrease the control throws and make it through a few flights to get the feel of it...

Has anyone else made a jump like this? I found a great deal on about a quarter scale edge/engine combo, and desperately want to go to gas and get away from nitro...

Any opinions would be appreciated!

Thanks,
