ive been looking at the edge 540t hard i like the size of it..the wing loading seems pretty good as well..but i am open to suggestions


Oh yea... its my first post after lurking for awhile
Chris,

I learned to fly 3D on a Funtana 40. Flys slow and harriers great. Knife edge takes some mixing but it will do it. Rolling harriers are great too. I would have loved for the showtime to be out back when I bought the Funtana though. I might have choosen it. I can tell you I purchased the pacific aero edge 540 .40 size and it would not 3D to well. Rolling circles and knife edge was about it, hovering was way to out of control with it and it would not harrier it did more like a harrier rock or sway then enter death spin. I believe it is similar to the Aeroworks edge .40 size. Just some info for you. Hope it helps. (what field do you fly at in Memphis?)
