This is the Easy Edge designed my @Headbang . I build the wing sometime last year, (5 point reduction) but had never gotten around to finishing the build.

This challenge seemed to be the perfect excuse to finish it off! Here is the final product:

A big thanks to @Grifflyer for 3D printing the firewall for me!
I got it all built and the wiring done today, and was set on flying it, even though it was windy. So I took it out, and I’m impressed! It penetrates the wind great and does inverted amazing.
As far as the build goes, I give it this rating:

As far as flying it goes, I’d give it this rating:

I have flown several different 3D planes so it wasn’t that hard for me, but as someone’s first 3D plane I can see how it might be difficult. But it’s a solid airframe and if they dial in some low rates and expo, it would be the perfect entry into 3D flying!
Here's the maiden flight video:

I found Flitetest's designs on the Thingiverse site.

Two more builds in the next 9 days! I decided to wait till after build-ruary to finish the monster edge since that's a bit on the ambitious siae to finish in such a short time. I'm going to do the MS Corsair instead. I have the ft pietenpol I cut out last year but never built so I think that will be my final and fourth entry.
