heres the edge now with the quadra mounted. I had to cut more cowl than i wanted. The coil stuck out more than i wanted too, o well. I had to cut the front area of the cowl to to let the fly wheel fit inside. There is a small amount of room in there, but fits perfect.

Hello Maudid,
I really like the side by side WH-BME Edge pics that you have posted.
If you have a chance, can you post another pic showing the color scheme under the wings and stab please?

How much does it weight with the Quadra engine? My Weight 17.5lb with a Brison 3.2, I can't see the plane weighting 15.5lb if it is 10lb when it came out of the box.

15 or 17, that's a pretty big difference. Hopefully it's 15-lb otherwise its another busted advertised weight by the manufacturer, although 17-lb is only 1-lb over the listed range.

I weighted the radio equip prop spinner tank and all the hardware that is needed and that is 3.1lb already so it is impossible to get 15.5lb. my is at 17.5lb dry and it still flys great with unlimited vertical on a brison 3.2 with a menzs 21x10 prop, I'll try a biela 22x8 this week and see how it goes.

I think that you have WH and BME Edge, right? Can you see a difference between both ARF? They seem to fly at 17.5lbs.
Which one do you recommend?

I got the BME Edge, if i knew it was this heavy i would got the WH instead as it has more wing area but it still flys great with the Brison 3.2. I can't see the BME coming in at 15.5lb if the plane came out the box at 10lb, it just does,nt add up.

You may be right... but 17.5 lbs sounds like it's not in the right range either...
There is NO way you can convince me that this plane weighs as much or more than the WH... just no way. I have both sitting here... My buddis WH and my BME...
It'll be sometime before I can get to it, but it'll never see 17 lbs... Maybe 16 at the most...

Well my Brison 3.2 with Bisson pitts muffer and ignition is 4.3lb and radio prop spinner and hardware is 3.1lb, 5 hitec 5945 1futaba 3001 and 2 1100ma at 6v 1 1100ma 4.8v 2 mpi switch LED type 1 super rocker switch on ignition carbon push rods and rocket city control horns dave brown spinner 22x8 Biela carbon prop all stock hardware except tail wheel witch i made a lighter one. I m not camplaining about the weight as the plane flys great, still hovers at little over half throtle with power to pull out. I,m just saying it won't be 15.5lb with the stock hardware that came with the plane unless the BME 50cc is 2lb lighter than the Brison3.2.
