Looking for Info on AW Edge 25%
I picked up an AW Edge 540 25% kit almost built. I have the building instructions that came with this kit (no help). I want to have more power than I need and really do not know where to start. I want to have a balanced plane too. I'd like to install a Saito 180 for power. Will the 180 be over kill would a Saito 150 be a better choice? I thank anyone wanting to contribute any useful information

Looking for Info on AW Edge 25%
I am currently flying the AW 25% Edge with the Saito 1.80. It is a great combo. Unlimited vertical. I fly at half throttle most of the flight and only use more in the uplines. I have been flying this setup for a year now. I put a Saito 1.50 on it for a test and while it fly's the plane nicely it does not have the authority that the 1.80 does. I have no extra weight in the plane. I have two battery locations in the plane so that I can change the CG a little for flying style. The plane weighs 11 pounds.

Hey Thanks Guys! I really wanted the power and I think I can't go wrong with either motor but Bigger is always better to me and I think I'm going to order a Saito 180!!
