But the wings have some sweep on the leading edge. Not flat like the original Edge.

There is definitely some Edge inspiration in that design. It is not a copy though. Well maybe the vertical stabilizer. It is a good looking airplane.

I would like to know how their power to weight ratio is better than an Edge. Their claimed weight on their site is 1110 with a 4 cylinder 360. The last Edge we completed was 1178 with a 6 cylinder 540. Thats 50% more cubic inches for 6% more weight.

Yea man.. I'm sorry... I love Extras and Yaks and all, but for full scale planes the Edge is just way more BAD ASS. The cowl, the aggressive look, the performance. If I ever come across a few million to retire early, get my private ticket and buy a plane , and Edge it will be!

Ya I walked up on it at Oshkosh. Sweet looking plane.

Very cool.... we need more planes in aerobatics!

The 540 looks better than the 360 for sure. the manual shows a three view and both have tapered LE.

I don't know, I really like the looks of the Slick. There is a lot of edge in there but I do like the 260's wing. Something about the straight edge wing never looked right to my eye. It sure FLYS right though!
