I think it would bite you hard if you didn't have your wits about you at slower speeds.
I tried slowing it down and it was a real hand full even when the throttle was applied until it built up some airspeed

Yep mine is bit like that too it will drop a wing if you disrespect it. Have to jump on opp rudder and aileron and full throttle all at once if it does. Trick is to keep the nose pointing up then if you open the throttle it should just go up, that's the theory not too much elevator when full rudder is applied with mine other wise it will snap with unexpected results

My Edge 540 has a C50-55-600kv Turnigy spinning a 15 X 6 wooden prop. I like the light electric wooden props because they are light and spool up much faster than the plastic ones.
sadly wooden props are a lot easier to break if they hits the ground tho'

The Lipo's are 20-30C 6S 3000 mah Speedy is an 85A continious 100A 10 second burst Turnigy K force. It pulls about 97A static at full noise with enough thrust to accelerate vertically no probs at all. I mainly only ever use full throttle for going vertical or pull up from KE to vertical. Most of the time its flying on about 1/2 to 3/4 It hovers with just a little over half throttle. Top speed is not that fast with the 6 pitch prop.
My Edge weighs 2.490 Kgs all up. I set my timer for 5:30 and lipos are about 3.75V to 3.85Volts per cell after that.
I have some wooden props 15 X 6 and 14x7 and 15X7 your most welcome to give them a try on your Edge and see if one suits (that is if we ever get some reasonable weather and the strip dries out)

Here's a link to the specs for my Edge http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/RC-Racer-Edge...d_Vehicles&hash=item27b997e745

Notice how the flying weight at heavies should be 2400g mine is 90g heavier I can never get a model down to their suggested max flying weight I only ever get close to their maximum. I reckon they always send me the heavy ones

Here's a bit of balloon racing video from a nice still lunchtime back in the days when the sun shone and the ground was dry under foot..........memories
