Sweet! Hey GIANT FLYERS

I have recently purchased a 540 edge 94". First, I'm so excited I cant stand it and I look forward to seeing you all out on the field. Second, if anyone has any experience with this giant I would greatly appreciate advice! Glad to be here with all of you!

Nice plane flyinsides My first aerobatic plane was an edge 540 120 size- and It was a blast yours is bigger and bigger always flys better. double check everything twice. cg's and throws are real important. let someone at the field check it also. then go for it. maiden voyages are great!

That's awesome I'm excited about getting it in the air. I'm currently shopping for the engine for my new addition. What do you think would be the best choice? From reading the posts in here some say a DA85?

Welcome to FG!

Throw up a build thread! If you have any questions, I'm sure someone can answer them. If not, your thread will be a great asset to FG and modelers that would be interested in building a similar model.

Its a Lanier. I"ve heard different things about it good and bad. So I thought I'd try it and see for myself. Does anyone else have any experience with this plane?
