Thanks I'm still gonna build the edge just because I've always loved the edge 540. I'm excited with learning new things and then like you said it's at my own correct pace. I'll try to keep everything documented including the maiden flight. Thanks alot Tomsun-UK I appreciate it.Great choice on the cub over the edge! You will have much more fun learning at the correct pace. Build looks really good, good luck with the first flight
It’s all good I used black FB on my Edge and it flew ok. I had it on other builds as well that flew well the Simple/Mini Scout and a TT. Don’t fear from it just try to build light.
There are ways to make it a more stable flyer just use the closest hole on the servo arm to the gear and the outer hole on the control horn, that will limit the deflection making it easier to handle. That’s how I learned to fly the Edge 540.No worries buddy! I would also add, an FT 3D might be a good step before the Edge. I have made an FT 3D in the past and with correct power system it really is fully 3D plane. I agree, the Edge is so good looking, I will defo make one soon also - But be prepared to crash it trying to fly it to its full
Exactly I was gonna just build it then build up the skill and courage to fly it I want to get good with this building process. It's pretty exciting to take flat foamboard and transform it into a plane its absolutely awesome.No worries buddy! I would also add, an FT 3D might be a good step before the Edge.

I'll have to get some white foamboard so I can mix it up some.
I was gonna build the tiny trainer but opted with the simple cub. I'm again trying to up my build IQ so I can tackle the corsair that plane is amazing
I know this sounds crazy but I dont really want to fly the the edge as a 3d plane even though that's exactly what it is smh. I just love the look of the 540. I'll probably build that next but like I mentioned before I wont install the power pod for it until I get ample practice flying. It's kinda intimidating but I want to have fun with my daughters because they're excited to even see how far I've come only thing they saw was flat sheets of foam lol.
Hate for you to get frustrated after you build the Edge and end up crashing. With planes, if you are new, it's always best to start with a Cub style plane.
Ok first off that picture of the simple cub rings a bell. YouTube Perky Planes and RC page. Are you the same guy?Good choice with going with the Cub over the Edge for right now.
If you don't wanna fly the Edge as 3D then you don't have to. I know a guy who has an FT3D and he mainly just does more sport flying with it. If you grow from the 3 channel Cub, you could easily convert it 4 channel. Don't want dihedral in your wing? Then don't do that step. One of the great thing about FT planes is they are so easy to modify or set up for the style of flying that you prefer.
Thanks basslord1124 for the information it is highly appreciated. The ft edge will be a build trophy when I build it no plans of flying it no time soon. I've got the build bug and I want multiply planes smh. The edge by far is my favorite but I want to conquer the corsair also.Good choice with going with the Cub over the Edge for right now.
