55" EDGE 540 EPP Full Fuse Electric Aerobatic RC Plane Red

​

Aerobeez has come out with some awesome planes this year and i have no doubt this beauty will be a big winner for Aerobeez! I know the guys at Aerobeez have been working hard for the past year to bring these new planes to us! Nice job guys!

The following is from Aerobeez's website:

Description:
Introducing the newest and largest addition to our EPP lineup for 2015, the 55" EDGE 540! The EDGE is an amazing platform for aerobatic and 3D flight, so with our new lineup we decided to give it our EPP airframe design. With a full fuse plywood construction and our personal tweak, the result is a larger 55" frame that still has the same great feather light design as the smaller 48" Extra. We have also added more carbon fiber reinforcement to the frame and trailing edges of the wings to give extra rigidity that you want out of a 3D machine. If you are looking for a slightly larger frame in the 3D trainer electric EPP category, you can't go wrong with this airframe!


This model will be your everyday 3D trainer, something you could take with you wherever you go. Yet it will provide you with the capability to practice moves that normally only bigger planes can handle. If you are new to 3D flying this will get you ready for something bigger in a lot less time.


However, you don't have to be a hardcore 3D pilot to enjoy this plane. This plane can be as mild as you want it to be. Just dial down the throws and add some expo and it would fly like a trainer with very smooth responses. You can also set up dual rates to switch back and forth sport and 3D flyings according to your mood.


We have gone through multiple prototypes before final production to ensure the plane would provide the best performance in any flight envelop.

HA HA! It's a sweet plane for sure! I'm loving my 48" Sbach and now I'm starting to think I need another!

Man is this plane a blast, maidened mine this morning. No disrespect the smaller 48 inch (which I have) but this 55 is better in so many ways. Almost no trimming necessary, next to zero KE coupling, lands incredibly easy. Extremely light and floaty for a plane this size. Flying mine on 6S 2700 with a 14x7 Xoar.

I put my 70 Slick build off until June or July. I've been wanting one of these 55's since they made them public at the Arizona Fest.
