Simillar size and performance to WM 60 90 Edge?
Hi all,
Are there any examples of planes that are of simillar construction as the World Models (also known as the AeroWorks Edge!) Edge out there that you can think of? I have the WM Edge and I pancaked it today from about 200 feet up. I was doing an inverted flat spin (this plane, well, at least my plane would flat spin upright or inverted all day long!) I lost the engine on the way down and basically spun it all the way down to the ground. Amazingly enough, I had very little damage. I bent the gear and snapped two of the bottom fuselage stringers. I also boke the ply where the back of the left wing meets the fuse. This will really be a snap (no pun intended) to fix and it will be flying again next week, but I was just thinking ahead as to what the next home for my beloved YS 91fx might be. I am sure I will continue to fly the edge for a long time, but I am not into fixing planes more than once. If something happens again, I would be less inclined to fix it and more inclined to put the YS in something else. I really like the big plane construction that WM employed with the plug in wings and ply fuse sides and stringers etc. It's like having having a 25 percent model of one of the 33 percent planes!
If there is nothing out there like it, I wouldn't be opposed to getting another one of the edges. Despite the weight problems ( mine came out to 9.5 lbs ready to fly) it is a wonderful plane. Great flight characteristics and as mentioned before, a hell of a flat spinner. So any suggestions would be appreciated. The lighter the better. I have already looked into the Vector Flight models seen on the top of RC Universe in a banner ad. Any other suggestions??
Thanks,
