Maidened the 48" Edge yesterday, flew three packs through her. Needed a couple clicks of trim and it was spot on. Flies very nicely.
Thats great Matt, congrats!

I like the way this thing elevators. Deadstick, it rocks the wings just a bit and falls slowly straight down. With just a tick or power, the wings lock in and it slowly descends in a very predictable manner. I'm flying the recommended setup (Omega 130 on 3S, 14x7, HS-65MGS all around). I got a couple nice looking pop tops out of it, along wish several dead-duck looking tumbles where my timing was off on the pop-top.
Interesting contrast with the EF Edge. Admittedly not apples-to-apples since I am flying the EF Edge on 4s. The 3DHS Edge is very floaty, sort of a "friendly" airplane. The EF Edge is less floaty, and kind of a sociopath. It doesn't have any bad flight habits, but there's a subtle undertone with it like it wants to eat your lunch....

i just got the aj yak with the omega 130 and have the buck 50 with the motorfly 4815-950. i noticed today that the motorfly has more punch and speed. it almost feels like the plane is running 4s compared to the Omega.

I liked the extra a little better. Seemed slightly more stable to me.

The Omega is 870kv, compared to the Motrolfly at 950kv (more rpm per volt). That's probably why you're feeling a little less zip with the Omega. And I'm assuming you mean the 2815, not 4815....

ha yea had wrong sizes in mind. 4815 would me pretty mean.
seems like i like the Omega in the wattaplane slick. seemed to make it nice and floaty.
Thanks Gary... Have the 48 in the box and wanted to set it up with the 47 guts.... Oh decisions

If your 47" had the Omega 130, you'll be fine. The 48" Edge is a awesome plane, and a ton of fun to throw around. We each have our own flying style, and what I like better may not even matter to you
Have fun!

I have not had a 47 but I liked my first 48 edge enough that I bought a second one. If the 47 is more stable it must be marginal because the 48 is very stable for the size. It gives plenty of confidence to fly low. It is amazingly stable in knife edge flight and I really loved its inverted harrier. I had just as much covering torn off the top of the rudder as the bottom . I also had torn covering on the aileron tips from low knife edge passes
So hopefully I didn't make a decision harder to make
