Default Best unlimited 3D scale plane?

I wanted a 1/4 scale 3D planes as well, and decided upon the H9 Edge 540. The GP Patty Wagstaff 300S was my my first choice but then everyone was wowing about the Edge so I took that route. I will be putting the new ZDZ 50 (best power to weight ratio in its class) into this plane. I was a bit concerned about the weight of the Edge with the ZDZ 50 but after reading the latest RCM with the review on the GP Patty Extra 300S I felt better about this since it came out at 16.5 lbs, 32 oz/sq ft wing loading and was doing reasonably well 3D with a gasser. Wayne gave me some very good ideas and technical info regarding this as well. My Edge should come out at around 14 lbs, 29.35 oz/ sq ft. So in your quest for a good 1/4 scale 3D plane, your choice should include the GP Patty Extra and the H9 Edge 540.
