e-flite extra 260 or 3DHS edge 540
I have a 480 motor and 40 amp esc and am considering between 2 planes the e-flite extra 250 or the 3d hobby shop edge 540, any suggestions, or other options?

Re: e-flite extra 260 or 3DHS edge 540
I just ordered the 3dhobby shop edge. I am taking everything out of the e-flite extra 260 because it has some structural problems(I broke it). The extra is a great flying plane but I want to see how the 3d hobbyshop products are built. The e-flite stuff is pretty fragile. My edge should be in today and I am going to post some pics as I build.

3D Hobby Shop Edge 540 all the way. Lightweight yet very robust and flies great. Hard to find that combinatin in most planes these day.

Re: e-flite extra 260 or 3DHS edge 540
Just got the maiden in in my 3DHS 40" edge today. All I can say is it is awesome. I have the e-flite 480 with 40amp esc and it is unreal. Knife edge almost hands off with a little rudder. Cant beat it for the price.

Awesome airplane Scott. I have wondered about the 3DHS airframes for a while, now I am ready to purchase some other airframes. I have found me a new suppplier of fine equipment. Will post some pics soon.

Re: e-flite extra 260 or 3DHS edge 540
I just built the 55' edge this weekend.. It is the BEST plane I have built YET.. We have not flown it yet.. It is my friend Wes's.. I will report when I get to fly it.. I compared it to the 55'' Katana.. It is lighter and more wing.. It should be awesome..
