Please ID this plane

Its an Edge 540 about 30%. Can anyone ID the maker by the markings?

Thanks

Looks like the old H9 78" Edge. That one was great at doing the fabulous folding wing trick.

[Tired Old Man]

Wrong color, not H9. I had one of the early ones. Perhaps Lanier.

[50%plane]

It might be the right colors.... Patrick, can you post a better pic? Perhaps with more lighting?

[SENEKAfive]

do you know if its a kit or arf?

[MrKiwi]

It sure looks like a hangar 9 edge, just possibley recovered?

[Jonathan Ott]

Yep, I vote H9 Edge also.

Heck I'm not even sure if its the H9. Need a better photo. The elevators should be blue not yellow but that could have been recovered.

[mmcconville]

Is it a 1-piece wing with a notched out section in at the center Leading edge?

[TimDavie]

I think there is a taper to the leading edge making this an EXTRA instead of an edge. Anyting beyond that, yes we would need a better pic.......lanier, Goldberg, Zimpro????

[patrick181]

Unfortunatly thats the best pic I have, I do not have it in my posession. The red stripe on the wings have a different taper than the H9 bird otherwise looks almost identical minus the fact that its bigger, takes a 50cc. I did notice the elevator stripe is also similar yet not complete. Perhaps it was recovered or installed upside down.

[mmcconville]

If its bigger than the H9 its not the H9.

[Jonathan Ott]

Okay, the color scheme is the same...relatively speaking...by looking at the pics. Pat does say that it is a 50CC plane, the H9 is a Glow 120 size. Pat's plane has the hardpoint for the elevator control horn located about 1/3 of the way out from the inboard end of the elevator, as if the servo is embedded in the horizontal stab. The wing does look as if the leading edge has a taper to it, hinting of an Extra, but that could just be preceived by the angle the plane is being held at.

My new guess is that someone built a 50cc Edge and they liked the color scheme on the H9 bird, so they coppied it.

I don't recall seeing an ARF on the market in the ~80" range that had the H9 scheme.

Tell the guy you want more and better pictures, or he'll have to find a different buyer. Camera phones take good pics outside...they suck inside.

Well, we're waiting...

The plane is free to me, otherwise I'd sick Judge Smails on him. I'll post a better shot once I get it.
