Status: offline 		I'm looking for my next aerobat and I'm torn between seagull's edge540 and kyosho's cap 232. If anyone could spare some good advice I would really appreciate it!

Thanks for your time

Status: offline 		Not having flown those specific aircraft, I get the impression that they are similarly rated planes. If it was me I'd go the Edge 540 - though purely based on appearance

By the way, you might have more luck posting to the ARF forum.

(Take a look at the Vectorflight one before deciding)

Status: offline 		The YS110 has Extra power, and therefore has the Edge over the Saito, and to Cap it all, it's the same weight as the YS91.



The Saito would be almost as good though, as it's lighter.

The 110 has the same crankcase. In fact, it comes from the same casting as you can see where they've ground off the number '91' !!
