I would say probably not. A 110" wing span plane at 36 lbs. does not sound like a very favorable wing loading for extreme 3D.

hi i think with more power more better, i was flying a edge of 95" with a da 100 and this was very well in 3d manouvers and this were extra powered.
my regards from Argentina!

I think this guy is possibly confused.There's not one Edge out there that fits this description unless its a one of a kind scratch built crowned jewel.If so for its size and weight stated it must be built like a brick$hit house.Bud I don't want to take the wind out of your sails but the combo you presented us is by no means a 3D machine.

It used to be the largest cattle operation in North America, Joey Woodward of Alberta used to own it til he died . The Estate sold it to the Canadian that took World Com to the cleaners, don't remember his name. He ended up in prison down here for his bad corporate deeds.

Wingspan: 110.5 in (2805 mm)
Weight: 36-38 lb (16.3-17.2 kg)
Wing Area: 2279 in2 (147 dm2)
Wing Loading: 36-38 oz/ft2 (110-116 g/dm2)
Length: 103 in (2615 mm)

Those are the specs for the Great Planes Extra 330s. It won't 3D with a 111cc.
But it will 3D quite well. We've all seen the Vids.
