I learned how to fly model airplanes about eight months and still consider
myself a "newbie".
Recently, I purchased the Parkflyers Edge 540T. I must tell you this is the
best plane I've flown since I got started on this exciting hobby. I learned
on a 2-channel Vortex and moved on to a 3-channel Parkzone J-3 Cub and a
3-channel Parkflyers Cessna 182.
The 540T was very simple to put together -- it took much longer to charge
the battery than to get the plane ready to fly. It comes with a brushless
motor and li-poly battery so there is nothing else to purchase since the
stock set up has plenty of power. All of this for a reasonable price.
My maiden flight was quite nerve racking being my first 4-channel plane with
aileron controls but it did not take me long to trim it and learn how to
control it. It reacts quickly to the controls and does loops and rolls with
ease. It is the first plane I have been able to fly upside down and keep it
under control. It takes off very quickly and glides in for smooth landings.
I have done some hovering with it, but it's going to take some more practice
before I can master this technique.
All in all, the Parkflyers 540T is an excellent plane for the price.
