Default Who makes the best Edge 540

Looking to get me a Edge 540 preferably a .60 to .90 size. Things I'm considering are 3D capable & build quality.

Could we expand this question? Is there any consensus as to who makes the best ARFs? Perhaps we could narrow it down to the best three manufacturers. I'm looking to get a YAK or an Edge, or a Sukhoi in the 50cc size.
Regards
JC

i know its not the best one, but i love my wild hare 120 Edge... Im not trying to persuade you to buy something else , but i had the WH 120 Extra 260, before the Edge, and liked it better. One thing for sure the Edge is harder to stall, and it is a floater, it like to keep flying

I agree with Chuck993, I have one and on a windier day as shown in the video on aeroworks website, it will just float across the sky during 3-D maneuvers

Hello:
I will double second the suggestion for an Aero-works Edge 540T, They fly great! I have an OS 91FX, 1/3 throttle take-offs, 1/2 throttle knife-edges..etc.
Enjoy

I have the aeroworks edge 60 size with a 75 ax. It tracks down the runway like it is on rails. Floats in for landing. Love it. Only shortcoming, which would not stop me from buying anotherm, is the large vertical stabilizer effects taxiing in a cross wind and will yaw in a heavy wind. Forget the down side. This plane, and I am on my second one, is awesome. Crashed the first and bought a second one that day. If you haven't seen the video on the Aeroworks web site, you are missing a real treat. It is flown with a 91 Magnum four stroke.
