32in Edge 540 Kit (8mm EPP)

Product Rating:

Product Review (submitted on December 29, 2013):

I purchased the Sbach plane (Edge 540 was out of stock) after seeing very favorable comments on RCGroups. When I saw that the Edge 540 was in stock I snapped one up quick...wish I had ordered a second one to have sitting back as a spare. This plane and the other three 8mm EPP sister planes come nicely painted and include all the items needed to complete a plane minus the electronics. The tab construction make for an easy and quick assembly of the fuselage and all of the hinges already completed.

This plane and the sister Sbach and Lazer planes have become my favorite go to planes when I just want to work on 3D flying. The EPP foam is very durable and when repairs are needed a little Welders and I am back flying in minutes. When repairs are needed I have found I can fly another plane for a battery or two and then return back to the now repaired plane for more thrashing. The biggest negative for me is that I find them often out of stock and disappear pretty quickly when in stock. As for the plane I have found the motor mount to be the weakest link. I use an old gift card that I epoxy to the weak wood mount and am good to go.

I have not found more fun for $25 than this group of 8mm EPP planes.
