Aerobeez slash Peak Models 50cc Edge

[bob_nj]

Anyone here have or seen one of these fly --> http://aerobeez.com/87-30-Edge-540-50cc-Gas-3D-Aerobatic-ARF-RC-Airplane-Red-White-Blue.html

I've watched a couple of videos and they seem ok.
I got some bonus money from work for the Holidays, and for $480 delivered I can't hardly resist.
Although I have three 50cc airframes ready to fly now, I thought this would be a kick around/price point to experiment with.
I'm not a super high energy flyer, and do some freestyle 3D type stuff.

It's an older Peak design that Aerobeez is selling out of and not restocking, but I thought I'd ask.

Have a good Holiday Season!

@bob_nj I have been kikin the 26% around a bit this summer and it had its issues with fit and finish. I posted where I cut of the "scimitar" wing tips to get it to fly straight. It now is a decent flyer. If you get the larger 50cc version you may also have the same issues. But for the money.......It's alright!

I have a friend that has the 50cc Peak Edge 540. He had some issues with fit that took some sanding, but once together the plane flies quite well. So for the money I would say that they are worth giving a try.

Good stuff guys, thanks.

As a a kick around/price point to experiment, I might give it a go.
I suppose you can't expect perfection for the price, and that's ok with me.

If it flies decent, all the better.

Take care
Bob
