HTSkywalker,

My friend has the 87 Edge with a 3W60, and it checks in at 18lbs with stock tube, and landing gear. No weight saving mods were done. Flys with no wing rock, and powers out hover. I think balance will be an issue with a DA50 or DL50. If you know AeroLou, email him and ask him about the edge.

If it were me, I would look for a good runnign 3W60, or ZDZ60 and have some fun with it.

The Brillelli 366GT would be another possibility, but again with the balance issue... pull-pull would be required... etc..

BTW.. That's my Peakmodels Yak with the DL50 in the video posted in this thread.
