Just finished the build and madained my FiberLite Edge 540 today. DA 50 on a MTW cannister, hitec 5945 on all corners . The plane rtf weighs 15# 10 oz,88inch wing and carbon fiber everything.

Plane will harrier hands off, no wing rock. This is a first for me, I can finally harrier

. The ailerions have enough meat to roll right in a hover.

Very nice. Where did you get it?

The kit is from www.fiber-lite.com . This is a top of the line kit and the CD instruction manual is second to none. This is the only GS kit manufacture that has real assembly instruction.

Looks very nice! How do the colors show up in the air?

flyin woodbutcher · 08-20-2006, 10:26 PM

little cloudy today , the top is not real bright but the bottom looks like a solar flare. The silloute of the edge makes it easy to see and keep track of.

Bat Fastard · 08-20-2006, 10:27 PM

Any pics of the inside?

Jeff Pfeifer · 08-20-2006, 11:06 PM

Here is vid of me goofing off with the Fiberlite Edge a couple months ago at the Bolivar ProBro event. It was a little breezy that day.

Vid is in my blog here. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/member.php?u=40850

Bat Fastard · 08-20-2006, 11:32 PM

Jeff, holy cow! If that was just goofing off, where is the vid of you being serious? Great flying!
(I'll be that good one day.

Ha Ha!)

oh ok i thought this was an arf but 400 for a kit?!?!

Jeff Pfeifer · 08-21-2006, 12:53 AM

Trust me $400 for this kit is a steal! The wood that you get is some of the best that I have seen(Exclusive Modelbau Quality), the glass work is flawless. This plane is huge for a 50cc size plane, but it weights only 15lbs RTF! If you are careful with hardware/ componet selection it can very easily come in under 15lbs! It flies precision stuff really well, but 3D's like a foamy!

Hey Jeff , Where do you have yours balanced at ? Mine is at 5.5 ins back from the leading edge.

Whats up Kent, this is Jonathan G. I met you and Steve at Goldsboro last month (I had the Yellow and Red Wildhare),,,,,, that is a nice plane, I love the green on the bottom just like your Cap, they show up excellent,,, and don't forget about the RDRC flyin Sept 23-24 in Raleigh,, P.S. did Steve ever get his BME Twin straightened out,,

flyin woodbutcher · 08-21-2006, 04:31 PM

Hi Jon , I'll be at the flyin fo sho. Steve sent the ign. off to be repaired. We used a known ign form a BME 110 and Steves ran perfect.

Steve · 08-21-2006, 04:40 PM

Did you have to sheet the wings and stabs?

yakattack · 08-21-2006, 04:43 PM

Hey kent its Randy, I met you at our jumbo fly-in here in Harrisonburg Hows it going? The plane looks top notch just like all your planes. I love that carden!
