my issue with the DW edge,, 3 of 4 pushrods for control surfaces too short, leave landing gear off, its too flimsy and you will be bending them back into shape after every landing. install your wing 1st and make sure its squared up/level, you will find the slot for the stabilizer is out of whack and needs to be tweaked/cut/sanded to assure its level/square with the wing, i did the opposite and had to cut it back off to get it level with the wing, i feel the stabilizer/elevator could be a couple inches longer
7:19 looks like there was struggle in compensating balance. is there something wrong with the cg here? tail is too heavy? 7:42 after the loop one of the wing fell on one side and there was correction made to level the aircraft. plane looks like its always stalling and quite restless. hope its only a cg problem as i am planning to get a kit.
you may Know that putting the mass of two servos aft of the cg/c-m increased tail-heaviness in the distribution of mass (dom). (unlike in a normal model, that may not be such a bad thing in a 3d model.)
If cg is nose heavy, especially in 3d, (I fly about 80% 3d), tail servos & short linkages are a must! Regular pilots want nose heavy. 3d want no more than neutral.
If you put the servos in front of the cg then you will have to add tail weight. The servos behind the cg prevent that. I fly all my planes tail heavy. Even my edf jets. I want my F16 to fly like a F16. I want my F22 raptor to fly like a F22 Raptor. The only way to do that is to make it extremely tail heavy and use a fixed wing gyro. like AS3X+ or Cortex pro or Aura Lite. It won't fly without a gyro. But it can do maneuvers that will blow your mind. Cobras, cobras into flat spins. Harriers like nobodies business. Hover if you have enough power. Only planes I fly neutral are warbirds.
Cool Edge!!
Livin' on the Edge!! Looks pretty cool.
Thank you 🤙

The landing gear! 😁😄😅😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Always optional 🤙

nice plane and excellent video
6:47 a pushrod Should be Perpendicular to its associated hinge line.

Plenty of legit 3D planes have servos near the tail, Skywing,Future Models.
Long pushrods tend to flex

How much flex in the fuselage, I bet tail area will twist to easily
I have no doubt something like the Twisted Hobby Extra L would be more ridged… at about twice the price.
I thought this plane would be amazing and the build was nice but it flies like no 3d plane I have ever flown, honestly I don't get it...🤦♂️
