If I were you, I'd definately wait about a month or so, and get the one from Extreme Flight! It has CF wing and stab tubes, top quality hardwear, and the quality of there planes is top notch! I don't think that a more beautiful Edge has been put out either!

The cockpit looks a little funny on the EF one. It's a 540T - so it's suppose to be a two seater. The insturment panel should be further back? Other than poking a bit of fun there... Looks like a great plane

The popular ones available today are the PAU (85") and Wildhare (88"). I had the PAU for three years and liked it but sold it to fund a new plane (has CF tubes but no spinner). I think Rappy has one too. I actually prefer the bigger 540T canopy on the EF....even though they have it setup for a single seater in the cockpit. My Dave Patrick Edge was a 540T and had the bigger canopy. The little bubble on the 540 looks funny to me but that's just me.

Yes - I like my PAU Edge 540. It's now been in the top of a tree, but is still going strong. It flies very well balanced & I've been having fun trying IMAC manuvers along with the 3D fun.

I also have the 30% PAU Edge and It's a great flying plane.
If you don't like the Extreme Flights T model than the PAU is a great choice.Again it has all carbon tubes,glass landing gear and a really nice hardware package.
Another coice for a single seat version would be the new Aeroworks Edge that is due out in August.
You can check it out at www.aero-works.net

I'm guessing that it'll be very similar to their 88" Extra. Wingspan 88", about 17-19 pounds depending on the setup. It'll fly like a dream because Chris can't make them any other way.

Yup. 88" ws, and if I'm not mistaken, I think that the length is 80. It should come in around 17lbs.
