Hi Guys,

I have a really strong, easy starting, never fails Moki 1.8. I have been flying it on a Stinger 120 for about three years now and I feel the need for a change. Which of the Edge ARF's now available would be the best match for this engine. I would sure like to hear from people who are flying this combination. Thanks in advance for any and all comments.

Put my Moki 1.8 on the H9 Edge 540 and all I can say is "WOW" - bit nose heavy with the radial mount, and have the 1200 mAh pack about 1/2 way between the wing's TE and the elevator.

Can do the tork roll thing at a bit over 1/2 throttle - well I can't, but my son does on a regular basis...

Thanks Jerry,

Does the H9 Edge have a one piece or a two piece wing and are the tail-feathers airfoiled or not? Also, do you have a fairly accurate guestimate of the all-up weight. I am kind of leaning this direction.

I get my Creek Hobbies 25% Edge 540 today (hurry UPS!). It has a one piece wing and the reviews of their other planes have been very good plus they are in stock. I've got a NIB ST3000 that I'm going to put on it. Not as much power as the Moki but I should be able to give you an idea of what you would end up with. If you can hang on for a couple days I'll post my opinion of the plane plus some pics. Then you you can choose.

The H9 wing is one piece, but the way my son flys it, it will sooner or later become a 2-piece wing The wing sheeting is in need of a lot of work - crushed here and there, wingtip about as soft as jello!!!!

I will have to get it weighed again as since the last weighing, I've had to reinforce the landing gear area twice and put on a different landing gear.

Last week my son managed to break a carbon fiber LG and bend the heck out of an aluminum one! It is now flying with the LG from my Ohio R/C Giles 202!
