Default RE: Vectorflight Extra & Edge, How do they fly

ekir,

I have just finished building the VF Edge 540. You can read my build report here:

http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/Vect...2480377/tm.htm

The VF planes are very solidly constructed. I thoroughly enjoyed assembling mine. As stated earlier, the instructions are not as detailed as others, but more than adequate to complete the plane providing you have some reasonable time building ARF's. They are fairly conventional in design with the exception of the wing on the Edge 540. The main joiners are a tight fit. But if you take the time to dry fit everything before final epoxy, you will end up with a wing that is as straight as an arrow and very rigid.

The only significant weak area is in the wheelpants. VF uses a very sturdy plastic for the cowl, belly pan, and canopy, but the wheelpants are fairly flimsy. This was the only real weak spot that I encountered in an otherwise oustanding ARF.

For the price, you cannot go wrong. VF's customer service is also the best that I have ever dealt with in this industry. They bend over backwards to accomodate each and every customer. They usually respond to e-mails within a few hours. Try for yourself. Send them an e-mail ([email protected]) inquiring about their planes and you will see how fast they are to answer your questions.

I highly recommend any of their planes.
