The forward hatch, the engine box, and the turtledeck are good places to cut some fat out of a Lanier Edge. The foam wings and tail are good but the fuse is definitely overbuilt in some areas.

If you did everything I did then your weight should be fine. If you see any excess fat go ahead and get the dremel out, other than that just finish the plane and enjoy it and don't worry about the weight. It weighs what it weighs and that's the best you can hope for. Not that I've flown mine, but I think you'll like the way yours flies when you get it in the air.

Been two years since I worked on mine. There is a possibility I could be moving back to the Northwest at the end of the year so I may have the chance to resume building it. I have seen Edges that were very good at snaps and spins; I think it's all in the setup.

If it's a Lanier do yourself a favor and get rid of it, and get a girlfriend.

It makes me laugh and I can buy beer. No really Extra 260 when she’s ready to go let us know. You have wasted everyone’s time on RCU and now it’s our turn? Use your hebetudinous questions on someone else, but not us. Thankie Hankie
