Inverted Delta

[njswede]

Here's something I've always wondered about. Maybe someone here knows the answer:

Why do aerobatic monoplanes in general and the Edge in particular have inverted delta wings with a fairly straight leading edge that's usually perpendicular to the fuse? What's the aerodynamic reason for this (other than cool looks)?

Good question! I'm guessing its so the LE stalls evenly from the root to the tip.

This is what I've heard as well.

from the ton of info ive read about 3d and planes in the last few months, im pretty sure if my memory serves me , this is exactly true. thats why they say edges is kinda like cheating as compared to other planes.
