I AM CONSIDERING A 60" EDGE PROFILE. AS I HAVE NEVER FLOWN ONE MOST THAT I SEE SEEM TO BE A BIT SQUERILY (SP). PERHAPS IT IS JUST MY PERCEPTION, AND HOPEFULLY THE LARGER ONES ARE NOT THAT WAY. WOULD SOME ONE SCHOOL ME ON THIS. HOW DO THEY HANDLE ON LANDING AND SLOW FLIGHT. DO THEY TEND SNAP ON YOU.
THANKS!

What ???? He want's to be in front of the waiting list ????

NO WAY

I wonder what Gator has to say about this ???


No seriously Earl, I think they will be fine flying Profiles. Put a 90 two stroke on there and fly the crap out of it. There should be no snapping unless you want them to do it. They should also crawl into a landing.

Earl, I think that the beauty of almost any profile. It can be as wild and hairy as you can stand or as mild and meak as you need.

Yes Earl, you are on the list. I think you will find the Edge profile and profiles in general to be a lot of fun and great tools for learning all the 3D maneuvers. I have spent many hours flying profiles and they have helped me to perfect a lot of the more difficult maneuvers (high alpha rolls, rolling harrier loops, etc.). Due to their enormous wing area and low wing loading, most profiles are very forgiving and easy to get out of hairy situations.

Default Hmmm Wild :o)

As someone said in this Forum you can set any profile up to be as Mild or as Wild as you want by how you set up the controls

Default For Chris: Ys110 & profile

Thanks Chris for putting on the list for the 300 & profile. Will the ys 110 fit into the mount on the profile, and will the specialy designed tank you have take the pressure from the ys pump?
Thanks again for your help!

The thing with profiles is, they will do whatever you want them to do, but when you let the sticks go back to neutral... Its smooth sailing. You will rarely find that a profile wants to "get ahead" of your commands.
