Badass! 30% KMP Edge 540 - 15.3 lbs of BAD ASS PLANE!!!!!
Well the first shot is that of my ill fated 30% YAK.
Victim of me sucking at the Huckfest. (Man.. very SAD!!)

BUT the YAK is replaced!!!

Introducing my "newish sort of.." Edge 540 T!!


Best part... I added no weightat all to this one and its balanced on the wing tube!
(see it chillin on the Jack stands!!)

Weight with wings on......(dry) 16.3 lbs!!!!!!

Thats almost 3 LBs lighter than my YAk... and 1400 sq inches of wing!!

This is gonna be a fun plane!!

Gotta beat 35 flights... want to see 100+ on this baby!!

WHOO HOOO!!!

JeeUm I have to agree, the Edge looks killer!


OK... so I have owned the KMP YAK and the KMP EDGE...
The EDGE IS MUCH LIGHTER Than the YAK...

Thanks Cracky, Actually depends on how you count it. I had two dead sticks that came up short with minor damage. The third time Conrad was at the sticks, I will admit that he said that the radio was giving problems. I think that every time someone else was flying my planes that went in they claimed radio problems. LOL I think my favorite quote from the event was "I don't know what happened I was doing a roll and it hit the ground.
