Help! Which One to Buy???

Hello to all,

I am newbie to this site, and I have been flying around for about 10 years now, lately I have into profiles with my lastest a Mojo65 with a Saito150 which I really enjoy flying except for the gallon of glow fuel it gulps everytime I go out. So I am looking at a gasser. As I read most do not recommend a gas engine on anything below 80" wing span, so I am looking at the following planes:

BME Edge 540
BME Extra 300
WildHare Edge 540
WildHare Extra 300
AeroWorks Extra 260

So which one is recommended for a 50cc gas engine?
I would like to have a plane that is good quality and easy to handle.

Or any other recommendations.

Thanks in Advance
NB

The Plane will depend on your flying style. If you are a pure 3D type flyer i reccomend the edge of any of those makes. if you want a balance of precision and 3d go with the 260 of any of those makes. I would stay away from the 300's unless you want precision they tend to not want to 3D as well as the other designs.
my .02
good luck

I take it you are looking for a 50cc setup.

have you looked at the great planes patty wagstaff. I have one with a BME 50 in it and on middle rates it flys like a dream. That is a 78" wingspan. plane. I also have a Carl goldberg edge thats a 77" wingspan with a da50 on it. That flew real nice. Have to up grade the hardware before I 3d it anymore. My dad had carl goldbergs 77" yak with a da 50 and that flew nice also. You can put gassers in smaller planes its just not done that much. my edge flys light though. Just though you might wnat to look into them, Oh the hanger 9 showtime 90 on a spe 26 is said to be out of this world.

Thanks guys for your input. I am leaning towards the Wild Hare 540T but a deal on a Kangke Extra 330 came up & I am wondering if it would be a good gasser for 3D?

Thanks Again

Nope. Wild Hare edge is a good learners first gasser plane. Plus it's a good floater type plane.

Thanks for all your inputs, I have decided to go with Wild Hare Edge 540T

I am also considering picking up the 3MM TOC-53 at the same time, seems like good price & quality. Any comments on it or the combo?

Also is the hardware kit from Wild Hare worth it? Does anyone know what is all in it?

I can't wait to get into gassers.

Thanks Again

I have the 53 on my Sukhoi from Wild Hare and it pulls with authority. Great engine. I run it on Lawnboy Ashless. Get the combo you'll save a little bit of money. But you can't go wrong with Wild Hare. Great for Newbie gassers to seasoned pro's and Vets.

They aeren't bad I just think they might be a little bit on the price heavy side. But they do have nice looking planes.
