The 48" Edge 540 developed by Scott Stoops delivers the ultimate 3d bang for your buck. A serious 48" 3D aircraft capable of using up to 700 watts of power, the 48" is also a perfect first balsa 3D plane. It offers extremely stable 3D flight, precise handling, excellent tumbling and spinning performance, and the durability you need to perfect your 3D skills.
Every bit as aggressive and nimble as the Extra, the Edge is rock solid in high alpha attitudes and may very well be the easiest plane to harrier in existence. Aggressive knife edge spins, tumbles, waterfalls, walls and heart attacks are all well within the Edge's wide flight envelope. Flip the rate switches to low and the Edge will perform beautiful precision aerobatic maneuvers and make a great sport flyer for pilots who have not yet entered the realm of 3D flight.
The 48" Edge uses a carbon wing tube, giving you the convenince of removable wings for easy transport.
It uses spring-steel wire landing gear so that a poor landing will not send you home - even a true "splat" landing won't cause any damage.
