Nice scheme, but you just can't beat the curves of the Xtreme Edge

Does anyone around here fly 3w? They have lots of composite airframes i think. Cactus avation is the company.

Very, very nice planes from 3W. The problem is the price, either in dollars or Euros, plus shipping. By the time you bought one you could have bought almost two Comp Arfs of the same size with all the hardware included for both included in the deal.

Just too far over the top price wise.

I have the 3W 44% Cap232 and it flys awesome. It holds lines very well. It needed more mixing for coupling than my 3.3 meter Comp-arf Yak. I like flying the 3W more.
I'm also building the Extreme Composite Edge right now. This plane will most likley be my social flyer.

Nice paint job on the cap

The paint scheme is from 3W, from the Masterpiece Collection, airbrushed in Germany. Not a common paint job, but one showed at event at our local club.
Here's a pic of both planes, my son, and guest pilot.

I also like the last scheme pictured. Here is the plane from different angles.

I have the Airwild 330L Extra,.. nice composite plane... 105" WS... the also have the Edge 540

I hate to be the one to tell everyone, but I just went to BVMPROPS.COM and saw that they are closing the PROPS business. So, that will the end of the Xtreme Composites line in the US (maybe Chief still has a few)...

They do have a lot of canopies, gear, wheel pants, etc.. in stock and are selling it at 50% off list.... if you need something and you don't want to pay for shipping from Taiwan.. check them out quick!

Okay, if you just have to have a composite 35% Edge I can't help ya. But for $799.00 you can have a 35% wood framed Edge that flys like something to die for. Check Wild Hare R/C. I just put mine in the air for the first time today and have found a new favorite plane in the first three flights. I took the 28% Edge and put in the shed since it prolly flew its last flight today. At least with me at the sticks.

At 24 pounds, 4 ounces with a 100cc twin and 2,000 sq. in. of wing area it flys almost too good to be true. An 85cc single puts the plane in the high 22 to low 23 pound area with a plane having 102" of span.

This one is a prototype so it doesn't have color on the wings. The one pic shows three generations of W/H Edges. 25, 28, and 35%.

Just got my Xtreme edge today in the castrol scheme. It looks great but it is my first composite plane so not sure what to look for. I was surprised that the seam where the fuse halves are joined looked to me ugly. Again first composite plane so i have no idea what to look for. The castrol scheme looks much better in person then in the pic

Lets see some pics
