Default RE: Seagull Edge .46 Flight Issues....

CCFPILOT, I would agree, but based on what Iknow about airplanes, given my background, I know that this specific characteristic is not purely CG. The plane flies just fine for the most part, its just incapable of being 'tossed' around.

TimBle; I'm beginning to think that this airframe was just too poorly designed. From what I've read on other posts within this forum, a .46 sized engine is not enough power, and clearly I've gained too much weight with the .61 The only option I have at the moment is to maybe get ahold of my friends Evo .52. Either way, I don't think I will be happy with the plane in the end, but I have a hard time believing that you 'can't yank these planes around at all'. I also have an ASP.46 I can try in it....I guess I'd just put a torque prop on it. Thanks for your input, I'll see what I can come up with.

Oh and John isn't my instructor, I just picked up a plane and started flying, no buddy box :P He's just a fellow pilot at the field who offered help.
