The kit is from www.fiber-lite.com . This is a top of the line kit and the CD instruction manual is second to none. This is the only GS kit manufacture that has real assembly instruction.

little cloudy today , the top is not real bright but the bottom looks like a solar flare. The silloute of the edge makes it easy to see and keep track of.

Here is vid of me goofing off with the Fiberlite Edge a couple months ago at the Bolivar ProBro event. It was a little breezy that day.

Vid is in my blog here. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/member.php?u=40850

Trust me $400 for this kit is a steal! The wood that you get is some of the best that I have seen(Exclusive Modelbau Quality), the glass work is flawless. This plane is huge for a 50cc size plane, but it weights only 15lbs RTF! If you are careful with hardware/ componet selection it can very easily come in under 15lbs! It flies precision stuff really well, but 3D's like a foamy!
