Edge 540
It's been a while but I think I paid ~$130 for the geared version with the variable speed control. Never wieghed it and don't know the ratio. It does pull vertical good and last a long time on the 8-cell 720nimh pack. Several people have bought one in my club after seeing mine fly. One guy even made a spad version based on it for a .10 size nitro engine. Let me know if you have any more questions.
