This RC model airplane laser cut kit was born out of the demand for a scale 3D capable aircraft based upon the simple construction techniques and solid flight performance of our innovative G-480. Our innovative design features many industry first building techniques including our Truss-Loc(tm) interlocking warren truss fuselage assembly and our D-Loc(tm) wing construction technique - the easiest and straightest d-tube wing you have ever built. Two piece plug-in wings and carbon wing spar for greater portability. Simple battery access designed to enhance cooling air-flow over sensitive electronic equipment.

This is a light weight flyer that flyes bigger than it is. Great fun, responsive, lands easy and the A30-16 provides plenty of power. It makes me look good....

Flew my Edge yesterday for the first time and I am extatic!! No adjective is good enough to describe the airplane: Fabulous aerobat and very pretty. The construction experience is a real pleasure. Only thing I had a bit of trouble with was the turtle deck, but everything turned out great in the end. I would however modify the way to hold the wings to the fuselage: I can barely get my fingers into the hatch to screw them on, and I had a hard time doing this. But all in all, I don't think there is anything that comes near to this airplane (in its size or even larger) on the market.

I wish to thank you for putting this marvelous product on the market.

I havent had a chance to fly this plane yet, but I cant say enough about how well this plane is designed. Every piece fits the next exactly. Its been an absolute joy to build!
