Re: Extra 300 or Edge 540?

Here's a few pics of my Extra 260. I know have 25 flights with her, a great flyer. Looks good in the air and a joy to fly. Inverted flight barely needs a shot of elevator. Handles well in wind or very little to no wind conditions. For motivation I run the O.S 1.60 FX with a V.P 30 regulating Perry Pump,swinging a Xoar 18x8 prop ,a very good combination.

I fly a 50cc edge 540 and it's an awesome 3d machine, loves to harrier. Now I haven't flown an extra so I can't say about how it is for 3D.

Re: Extra 300 or Edge 540?

Peter, I have had a few of each.
It has been my experience. (Might be more my opinion). I always compare any airframe to what (in my mind) has been the best flying airplane I have ever owned. An Aeroworks Extra 300 (I have owned two now). My big Sukhoi, I can only say fly's as well.
Now for the Edge 540. I had one the was fun enough, yet a bear at times to land. Stall right at the ground. Yet, last year the airframe that got the most airtime, was a Pilot Edge 540. 144 flights, lots of fun. I liked the engine, size, and set-up of this one.
It is my belief either would be fun, and work for you. What size are you looking at in this comparison?

Hope this might help.

Thanks Frank! The Edges are very similar to the Extras both are good choices. Hope to see you Sunday in Woodstock!

That's a pretty plane Norm!
I have never flown an Edge, but I do fly an Extra and they perform well.

Here's a couple of snaps of my Seagull Extra 260 motivated with an O.S 1.60 FX with a Perry pump smooth combination.

I just had my first flights on my Edge 540 Seagull kit 40 size with a .61 O.S FX. Flies great, solid performer. Wingspan I believe is 60' . I am a believer in seagull kits well built, as I have several.
