Default RDRC 40% Extra crash
Watched this one go down, pancaked inverted while transitioning from inverted harrier to hover. Ouch! I feel for this guy, what a loss.

Never the less... 40% JTec' Radiowave Extra 330. DA 150 w/ Vess prop pulled the snot out of it. Sorry for his loss. That man did not mind flying it for us either!

I think it was an Extra.
The leading edge of the wing on a Edge is pretty straight.

Did dad buy the plane for you??? Thats a good reason not to push the limits. Sure you could do it if it was just a model airplane but when you add the words 5500 dollars to it I think the limits are changed. Just my opinion if I payed for it.
