RE: Opinions please!! - GP Edge 540 27%
FYI...The GP Edge 540 is well built and light and would be perfect with a G-45. I just bought one and almost have it finished, however, I'm going electric. Be aware that this plane has a one-piece wing! I failed to notice this when I purchased it. So, if transportation is an issue, the wing is large as a one-piece unit. Otherwise, the model is a great start for aerobatics. I also have the GP Extra 330SC and it's almost identical in dimensions. I have a DLE 55 on it and it is a "rocket". The two planes weigh the same, so, if you're looking for adequate power a G-45 would be a perfect match. I also have the 42" electric version of the Edge 540 and it flies great as well. I expect the big one to be even better. For the money, it is a great deal. I shopped around for a while before making the purchase (ie, 3D hobbyshop, extreme flight, aeroworks etc) and for the price of one of these planes, you can get the Edge and engine for the same price.
Hope the information helps. Good Luck.
