I found that using an evloution 61 made the plane to heavy and on landings it more or less fell out of the sky.
went to a Magnun .46 and the plane flew faster and handled very well

Status: offline 		I've built at least 5 Seagull kits so far and everyone of them have been extremely good in quality and price.
They've all flown very well and out lived the punishment I've given them.
I've had other makes and brands to compare and Seagull kits win every time.
I've had kits of similar planes costing 2 and 3 time more than Seagull which really were not worth the paper the instruction were printed on.

I'll be starting build of the Seagull Extra 260 1.60 (1.8M) with a gasser 26 cc soon
The kit quality again is very good, hardware is better than alot of other kits i've had and complete.
OK the supplied SPINNER is crap but the instruction are OK.
If you can't make out the instruction in one of these Seagull kits, then you're not at a level to build your own or fly a RC plane.

What do you think about a YS 63 or a Saito 82 for this plane?

Happy Landings

Status: offline 		To add a good word about the arf edge 540 .46 , This kit was easy to build instructions were great. Ok the engine mount has something to be desired and the screws with it suck, So I used my own mounting hardware with there mount. I add a top plate to the fire wall to give more structure too.
Other than that the kit is recommended for ease of build. I had it done in 6 hours ( and I take a 10 min break after each step.)
I will say you must have a dremel tool for cutting the cowling (if you dont own one you will after this kit)
Looks wise I would say I love they do not put there stickers on the plane and that is for you to decide to do. The only down fall to Hanger 9 is there name is stuck on there products( The ones I have seen)
The spinner is to be desired, But I went with a diffrent spinner.
I dont care for the two piece landing gear and it is heavy.

I will see how the plane holds up structual wise hopefully this saturday. ( Please mother nature I am begging you!!)
If you have any suggestions where to beef the plane up please add it on here ......

I am working on one using some Spring Air Retracts and would like to sponge some lessons learned.
