I think the new WH Edge could be a winner.

I would for sure go with a Wildhare edge v 2 for the money and service he offers its a hard combo to beat. The only problem is you have to get on a list to get one they go fast. Also i have the SD models edge with a Taurus 3.2 on it and it is a awesome flying plane. Chief Aircraft has it priced right , over $200 cheaper than i paid for mine. Just my thoughts.

IMO- Compare the tail surfaces of both of these and buy the larger Extra for $100 less to use on better servos.

http://www.lanierrc.com/lrcprivate/r...xtra330arf.htm
87" Extra 330 ARF
Sale $399.99 Free Shipping inside lower 48 states
Street price - $499.99

his marvelous airplane features double beveling on both wing and tail feathers for maximum deflection.... The Lanier RC 87" Extra 330 ARF has an airfoil tail section and all the great flying characteristics of the full scale Extra 330. Everything you need to get this bird aloft is included in this almost ready to fly package, except engine and radio equipment.

The wings and horizontal stabilizers are removable and supported by strong aluminum spars. The wings, horizontal and vertical stabilizers are all airfoil surfaces.This is an IMAC and IMAA legal aerobatic airplane will have them amazed at the field. The Lanier RC 87" Extra 330 ARF will perform any maneuver the pilot is able to do, and the perfectly tapered leading edge gives you the responses you're looking for. If you have ever wondered which gas airplane to fall in love with, well, here it is.

I love my BME but for the money I'd go WildHare. The V2 Edge is a nice flyer. He pushed the stabs forward and the result was a much more stable harrier.

I know you are not going to believe me.. but if you can find a KMP edge.. it is INSANE.
Mine is 15.4 lbs and fly's really nice.
Floats...

And you can find them for $299 - $325... can't beat that with a stick!

How did you fix it. I thought it was still unbalanced. Or did you fix it with the spinner.
