Default Satisfaction with Giant Scale Planes (GSP) ARF's

I was wondering what success anyone has had flying the GSP Edge 540 (72") and/or Cap 232 65". Are the ya good buy or a good bye?
Any opinions or ideas, pls pass them on.

I have since decided on the Seagull Models 540 ARF, 72" span. It's finished really well and looks well built too. I didn't fly it yet b/c the weather has been too lousy. The 60 sized Seagull Edge 540 has tons of praise - see another thread for the 60 size.

Default GSP Edge 540

Anyone have the GSP 80" Edge 540? It comes as an ARC or ARF (blue, yellow and red). How is the covering on the ARF? How does it fly?

I bought the 66" Cap. The box stated a 60 2 stroke for the plane........ I bought a 90 2 stroke and the thing was way under powered.. I stuck a GMS 120 2 stroke in the plane.

It now flies but not that great. The covering SUX peals of everywhere I have tried everything I can't find the same color covering anywhere. Only has CA hinges single servo arm for elevator. These planes are made by a company in China CMPro. China Model productions.

I won't buy another one

dogz: Try the 60 sized seagull edge 540 - from what people on this thread say, it runs great with a 90 but the 120 overpowers it. If you are dying to use your 120, the Edge 120 by seagull is great - excellent fit and finish.
