RE: seagull 46 size edge 540 anyone have one
I have one with a Magnum 80 four stroke and a 13X6 prop. The plane flies nicely and looks great. It is not a great 3d plane because of the relatively small ailerons depending on how you like to fly, but it can knife edge nicely. Landings are done best with a little speed. Even though it is a 46 size, it is closer to a 60 size plane in both size and weight. It needs a bit of re-enforcing where the motor mount meets the firewall area as well as the area behind the firewall and landing gear with a bit of angle stock. Do not mount a 46 size engine as this plane cannot be balanced correctly nor fly well with this size engine. It needs an engine that weighs at least 22 oz correctly since it is pretty tail heavy. A great combo for this plane is an 80 or 90 size 4 stroke mounted at the 7 or 8 o'clock (225 degree) position so that the muffler lines up directly underneath.
My next one will be the 60 size Seagull Yak
Have fun!
