Great Planes Edge 540 1.60
I ordered this plane, returned it for another and then returned that one also. The reason for my returns is that the covering and fit of the cowl hatch was horrible. I could have lived with the hatch fit but I could not get the wrinkles out. The wrinkles looked like ripples on a pond. They were small, but there were a lot of them. I did not take any pics. Is this normal? Is it because of the weather? I have never seen one this bad? Should I order one more or give up on it?

RE: Great Planes Edge 540 1.60

Wrinkled covering is a hit/miss affair with ARF's. Sometimes they are perfect, other times like a prune. Where they are in the container ship or in the warehouse has an affect.
Since you have gone through two with unsatisfactory results I would contact a Tower customer service manager to ask if they can inspect one before shipping, that is if you still want one.
Nice airplane at a good price...roughly half what anything comparible would cost.
Merry Christmas.
