Have been hearing wonderfull things about the FiberLite Edge. Sounds like it is very light.

That was my first gas plane. Smaler wings on that. I really like this one to the point of thinking about it even though I have no need for another 50cc bird.

Than again they use the same pictures for more than one of the kits, pretty sure the one shown on the pics for the 29% is a bigger one.

I'm going to throw this out. I know it's not a Edge or an Extra...but it's awsome plane no matter what anyone says. Check out the OMP Hybrid. It's on my to do list one of these days. If I wouldn't have just picked up a GeeBee R2 to build maybe I would get to it someday.

God I hope it flies better than it looks, that nose is something to get used to.

Ya....it's not the prettiest....but from some of the vids I've seen...it's one hell of a flier. Have you ever thought about kit bashing it? Put your own design on the nose to cover up some of the boxiness.

Thoughts?
