Theres been alot of talk about both planes. I have owned both planes and although the top cap is extremely capable, and the arf is a good value at about 139.00 street, I must say that the Aces 1 Edge profile is the better plane. Recovery from any attitude is absolutely instant. Flatspins to 3 feet are easy. Flatspin to landing only slightly harder. I truly believe that anyone who has flown both would have to say the same.
