I had one of these. Great flying bird. If you use the wheel spats strengthen them if you want them to last. I used 4" Kavan air tires on Dubro axles. Similar to your setup but DL50. Also glass the louver plate or it can crack. Maybe install some foam baffling on the louver plate to keep the engine cool. That's all I can think of besides all the tips in the manual. If you want it 18 pounds or less skip the pilot and dash.

Edge right? Build it exactly like the instructions say an you'll be just fine. Like Joe said unless your gonna use it for iMac the pilot an instrument panel aren't really necessary. Fuel proof the motor box an inside the motor box back to where the fuel tank sits. This will help a lot in the long run.

It's one to keep in mind, in my opinion and experience the 88" Edge and 91" Extra from Extreme Flight are the best flying confidence builders on the market. They also take a severe beating and keep on ticking so they are great for practicing things without fear of breaking it. I have seen and done things to these two planes that turn most others into firewood. I've seen @Robbins do full throttle walls with his piped DA60 Edge so fast that the hinge lines whistled like a top hinged composite plane!
I was lucky enough to find one relatively close by that I could buy.
