The flight went very well and I am extremely satisfied with the
Edge and am looking forward to your new Extra 330S
Although I have only just finished my Carden Edge, and have only
three flights, this is one of the best flying planes I have flown to date.
It does all the maneuvers with ease, hovers at less than ½ throttle, has no bad habits and I can't wait to push the envelope.
Monokote covering conclude the equipment, and an all up weight of around 38 lbs. I took some pictures of the plane before the first flight, just in case.
The equipment used is a mixture of manufacturers.
A Futaba 9ZAPS guides it, 9 JR 8411 servos move it, a 3W- 150W with tuned can mufflers powers it. A Nelson ball bearing pull-pull cable system on the rudder. Two 2400ma servo batteries, 700ma on the Rx, i4c isolator,

Hello again, I am sending some more pictures of my recently finished Carden Edge on it's fifth flight.
Although I hovered it on the first flight, I didn't bring it down until I was confident that the motor was reliable.
I almost touched on flight number 8, it is only a matter of time until I do

Hi Dennis
Well, I was flying this weekend and everything went very well.
These photos were taken yesterday when a few of our members and I were having a little fun, with my airplane of course !!
Hope you like them, Scott.
This last picture is me holding my Edge and Tim Docken's Cap
Both are 40% Carden kits and powered by a 3Ws.
Thanks again, Scott
