Why not a edge 540
i flew at a imac contest in oct. and asked a lot of questions but not this one.
there was not a edge 540 in the group. im int the market for a 35% and i can get a cardan 35% edge highly modified in the bones pretty cheap. |

Re: Why not a edge 540
From what i understand, when you get to the upper levels of IMAC, the edge dosen't snap as well as say an Extra or a YAK. I believe this is a result of the straight leading edge.
But for general Flight, Edges rule, and for 3D they are amazing. I have a 30% edge (KMP) with a DA 50, its 15.3 lbs and is AMAZING. Hope that helps a little.

Re: Why not a edge 540
They don't snap well at all and that straight leading edge makes it easier for judges to think your line is off. I haven't seen an Edge perform well in precision competitions pretty much ever...

Re: Why not a edge 540
Stall maneuvers are also tough, when that straight wing stalls it doesn't break, it just mushes forward. Makes it tough to do the required spin maneuvers, I have to coax mine into it with rudder, where as my Cap will go much more smoothly into a spin.

Re: Why not a edge 540
I say DO IT. Edges will IMAC just fine. For most applications, it's the man on the sticks. BTW, how cheap?

Re: Why not a edge 540
1200.00 built (lightend by about 3 pounds ) a few other things
900.00 for kit 300.00 to build sence i dont have a way to sheet any thing & he has every thing to build it i think its a great deal. ive flown his its awsome. as Eurylokhos said it dose not stall to well but when the tail drops a little kick the rudder and there it is. i only fly basic. dont plane to do any other class. im not in it for the compition, im in it for the fun, friends, & shop talk, freestyle, i just like getting out & meeting new people. |

Re: Why not a edge 540
Well if basic is your only class.........
No snaps in basic. Only the spin and you can learn to spin with an edge. If I can do it than anyone can. Its a good price and a good plane.
