Default Re: EXTREME FLIGHT 50CC EDGE 540T AND CAP!!!!

Yummie Late summer.

Lots of exciting news to report! We are expecting a new container to arrive in the next week which will contain the highly anticipated Russian Thunder Yak-54 in both the 50cc and 100cc sizes. In case you haven't heard, Jim Bourke, owner of Knife Edge Software, RC Groups, Flying Giants, and Crack Roll owns the only full scale Yak-54 still flying in the U.S.. The legendary Russian Thunder Yak-54 was made famous on the airshow circuit by the late Eric Beard, and Mr. Bourke has licensed us to produce our Yak-54 with this color scheme. This iconic aircraft features a beautiful high visibility color scheme that is sure to turn heads at the flying field. There is a very limited number of these on this container so if you are interested please contact us ASAP to reserve one.

The new 50cc Edge 540T that we unveiled at Toledo is currently in production and we expect to receive our first shipment later this summer. Look for updates as we get closer to the release of this new powerhouse aerobatic machine.

I looked the Edge over last week. It looks great and if it flys anything like the Extra it's going to be awesome.

We are still workinig on the Cap. The Cap is a bit more difficult, especially getting provisions for a tuned pipe to work with the low wing position. The Cap can be made to fly as well as any of the current aerobats, it's just taken a bit more work. Christophe Paysant LeRoux had one of the best flying Cap designs ever and did quite well at the TOC with it in the 90s. We've spent a lot of time studying this aircraft.
