RE: Seagull Edge 540 - 68

RE: Seagull Edge 540 - 68

The plane I purchased used had this problem. I planed on getting a CF tube but crashed before I had a chance. Another option would be to locate a thicker aluminum tube.

RE: Seagull Edge 540 - 68" (60-90) ARF New v2- Building

RE: Seagull Edge 540 - 68" (60-90) ARF New v2- Building

I'll agree, this is not a 60 size plane. I wonder if they used "what will get it off the ground and fly like a trainer" criteria for .60 size?
