SkyShark Edge 540
 

I am almost finished with the Edge. Need to mount wheel pants, tail wheel, canopy and break engine in. Overall it is a great plane and easy to build. I am going with a Klett tailwheel and mounted the Saito 100 inverted. These are the only thing I did different. Attached are photos of almost finished plane and I will have a video in a week or so.

Cubflyer, Thank you for your help on the assembly. You did a great job.

Hey Mikerc,
I'm seriously considering the Skyshark 540 Edge for my son and I. We have a nicely broken in Saito 100 to use in it. Keep us posted on the flying aspects of this aircraft and how it suits your flying style. I'm primarily a sport flyer and my son flys freestyle and 3D. Looking forward to your next post.

Going to break in engine tomorrow and if weather hold up I will be flying.

Our weather has been a mess with tropical storm Arlene out in the Gulf, so no flying this weekend.
I spent this morning removing my Saito 100 from another airplane and cleaning it up. I'll probably put in a order for the Skyshark Edge 540 this coming week. Wishing you good weather!

any reports on how well she flys.
