RE: Considering Seagull or Vector Edge 540
I have never owned the Seagull Edge, but I have owned the VectorFlight Edge, and they are fantastic. I am more into kits than I am ARF's, but the VF Edge is probally the nicest, well built ARF I have ever owned. They are a good value, for a good product, and backed with probally the best customer service(no kidding) in the business of Model Airplanes.
As Sturtz mentioned, they are made in Canada, and use hardware made here in the U.S. I myself will be ordering another VF Plane soon to put together over this winter. Almost all the Planes I buy any more are in kit form, and Vector Flight will probally be the only ARF's I will buy anymore.
