Default Which Shock Flyer is better?

I am wanting to know which Shock Flyer is better, the Extra 330S, the Super Star, or the Edge 540? Most everyone I've seen has the Super Star. Is it the better one or are they all the same plane just with different color schemes? If that's the case, I will get the Extra 330S. I like the looks of it.

Superstar has more rudder area. Knife edge loops are a piece of cake. A buddy has the 540 and he says the superstar is a bit more maneuverable. I have flown his and am inclined to agree with him. Only difference is, his is an Axi motor and mine is a CD Rom, so there would be a difference in weight.

The Edge is the best with the axi and 340 with 3 cells

Wes:
All three work very well so you can't go wrong with whatever one you pick.

Hi!
This is the way I mounted my AXI 2204/54 motor. 2mm plywood motor mount, epoxy glued in and thin sheets of 0.4mm glass fiber as stiffening up front.
Plane weights 150g using 2cell E-tec 450mAh Lipo.

Regards!
