Skywing 48" Edge 540 unboxing and initial thoughts

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Awesome Will! You will love the way it flies!

[@SteffenRC]

Thats what you keep saying.. I'm so looking forward to it.. Thanks for the suggestion on this plane..

[@yodecaf]

I bought the Flex extra. Bought a TH 32" and was looking at this plane!!!! Great to see Im not alone in my thinking!

[@SteffenRC]

I think this will be that next step plane from the Eflite Ultimate and Crack Yak... She's not a quality plane like an Extreme Flight, but I understand the Skywings fly really well.. We'll see..

Great detailed video. I know nothing about these planes but looking forward to learning.

[@SteffenRC]

Appreciate you watching.. Levi wants to fly too.. Gonna be fun... Make Devin pay for planes...

[@dalindsey80]

@@SteffenRC I love that idea.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this newer breed of "foamy."

[@SteffenRC]

Me too. All the reviews state its an awesome 3D plane.. I think the primary reason is its so light.. The wing load is gonna be crazy.. I'll be done with the build in a day or two. It's a pretty easy build. Stay tuned.. - Will

I got the crack yak xl....it's sweet cuznits like 900g flying weight w a 3s 2200....ad I motor and popped it so it flies like a full fuse bird and not like a slow fly reg crack yak....it tumbles and rings out better than my extra....I also have a PA addiction x which is amazing but next is to get a 60 skywing or ex flight

[@SteffenRC]

Tory, You know the path I'm on.. I'm getting comfortable with the Crack Yak and now its time to get a real 3D / Freestyle like plane.. Then I'll go for the 60" EF.. Sure hard to keep all the planes in the hanger happy... Too many planes.. Not enough time.. - Will

Thanks for this, very useful. Can anyone comment on why the Skywing is so much cheaper than the Extreme Flight Edge 48" ? Is it just more carbon fibre on the extreme flight?

[@SteffenRC]

The Skywing is made from Balsa ply and foam. The interior formers are foam and its covered with a thin depron/foam material. Its a wonderful plane, but my next Edge 540 will be a more robust build like an Extreme flight.

@@SteffenRC Thanks a million.. that explains it...I now see Skywing also do the wood/carbon build versions too.
