The Seagull Edge 540 are excellent planes and you can't beat the price either! I have had mine for one season now and can say it is a well built and top quality ARF though the push rods are a little strange....... It flys extremly well and will do all the 3D you can throw at it. The only thing I did different to mine was, replaced the alum. gear with carbon fiber landing gear from the Funtana 100 and modified it to fit the Edge. I have a Saito 125 in mine and it flys unlimited verticals and about 1/4 throttle hovers. Here is a pic of my Edge . The carbon gear gave it about 3/4" to an inch more lift, but I also needed it, to swing a 17x5 prop as the original aluminum landing gear were pretty short.
If this is what you want and I noticed you mentioned it a few times, it's not a bad seconded 3D plane to have in my opinion. It's what I got. But its all about "to each his own!"
