Get Real thank you for all your help......i just got the typhoon and the 540edge for christmas. i bought the hitec 81 mg servos for both planes.......i was thinking on the changes you did on your 540edge with the motor.............also do you put packing tape on your planes to help make them stronger..........any orther things you think i need to do to get the most out of these planes please tell me.......thank you for all your help.......max1

no prob 
. i think youll like both of them a lot they both fly very well. i use a hitec hs81mg in typhoon for elavator.. but typhoon is all stock other than some thread to retain canopy body clip. on the edge 540t... youll find a lot of info in its post on my expierence with it and modification as well as others who did the same or similar mods. on edge mods.. i use rubber cement to hold srvos in.. it holds well but doesnt destroy foam if you have to remove/i also hot glue on top around servos lightly. the motor upgrade is what really unlocks performance in the edge 540t and gives the most noticable performance. theres other mods outlined in edge post that i feel will improve performance but havent had time to do. carbon fiber wingspar if you plan to fly really aggressively im aware i can snap the wing so i take it easy on high G stuff with it. theres a couple videos to of just regular flying but show how good vertical is and acceleration with 400 brushless in it. one video has my buddys typhoon in it. i just learned to fly over summer so i dont have a lot of 3D footage with either plane but will post it when skills improve and weather is better in spring. packaging tape will improve structurally but i havent found a need to use it myself. good luck and keep us posted in the edge post here http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_31...tm.htm#3672774
