Default edge 540 or extra 300

hi, i am currently looking for a new aerobatic bird to whip around in the sky in the (90-120) size but am having trouble finding any arf's of this kind, apart from the cm-pro extra 90, has anyone got any suggestions on who else may make one of these planes in a (90-120) size?

Here's one of the best sites that I've found for Oz as far as the range of planes goes - it certainly gives an indication of what is available there. (I think that they have affiliates in most state because the confirmations on orders from them aren't from them).
What about the Seagull Extra - that suits .90 - 1.20 4 strokes

Skyshark has a nice Edge that is about right for the 1.20 also Goldberg has thier new Edge out.It is larger than the Skyshark,but cost twice as much.

I have the Skyshark Edge 540 and flew it today. I run the Saito 100 on the business end but since the Saito 125 came out that seems to be the engine of choice now. GSP has a nice 90/120 size Chipmunk that the Saito 125 would work great in. They also have a 90/120 size Extra 300. Check this site out. http://www.glowrc.com/default.html
They have the cheapest planes I have seen on the Net and they are the same ones others are selling for a much higher price.

cool, thanks for some of your opinions, its jsut i have a os 1.20 ax at home, but am not sure what bird to put it in, and i figured, if im gonna hover and do 3d with it, i may aswell go for the 90-120 size range so i get that little extra power for hovering, or would this motor be WAYY overboard?

just on another note, the hanger 9 cap 232 or the mini-craft cap 232, pretty well same aircraft, would be underpowered with a 1.20 ax, wouldnt it, or just slow, not exactly underpowered but its like my cap 232 46r with a os 70 fl (vertical is pretty well useless)-- weak as p**s compared to a ys.63 in it lol

i agree about the edge 540t, i do like the model but... im australian, and i sort of dont want to have to re-cover the american colouring

Also the Wild Hare Edge says it is a 1.20-1.60 size, a os 1.20 ax would pull it along quite sluggish wouldnt it?
