What is the all up flying weight of you DP Edge? Please tell what equipment you have on board. I have a ZDZ40 that I took off a DP extra that needs a good 3D home. Tom

Kelly, boy you must have done some lightening!! Or maybe your scale isn't too accurate.

We weighed this one on a certified scale. I sure don't know how yours came out the same with a heavier engine, and lots more servos and pushrods.

Or maybe you just got a lighter airframe.

Not sure, it is what it is. Weighed things piece by piece, on a digital scale, accurate to the gram. Maybe I got lucky. It does fly very light.

That sure is nice to have one that flies good and comes out light.

Good luck with your edge, and ENJOY!!!
