TJ that Edge is a great looking plane, I would get that one, throw your RCGF 62cc plant in there.

I'm 90% set on the Edge 540, but If I change my mind I might just get another Extra 330L I loved that plane! Or, if I save up enough I'll get both!

RE: CYCLONE 88
Well... I have 2 450 size helis, a CopterX and a HK-450. I also have an EXI-500 (same as the T-Rex 500) and a T-rex 250. ohh, and a busted up TZ-50 Frenzy 3D (50 size nitro bird) To many Helis!!!
I also was flying my 63" profile with the RCGF 20cc gas engine on the front. It's been down for about a month and 1/2, I've been to lazy to fix it.
Now, I just spent a few hundred dollars on 3mm and 6mm Foam, electrics, carbon fiber, and small lipos for indoor 3d fomies! Its the season. I also have several Glow planes on the bench ranging from 40 size trainers to 60 size sport planes, but I'm trying to get out of the glow stuff ( I don't like all the extra cleaning and field equipment.)
The hobby shop around the corner just opened up there indoor car track so, I think I'm gonna get a couple cars, 1/10 scale and 1/12 scale. Just to try something new. I think I have to much going on!!!
one of these days I'm gonna get around to repairing my EXTRA 330L! its hanging on the wall with a busted up firewall, left landing gear, and cowling, and everything else is 100% good to go. For now I'm just going to get something new to build this winter so I can get back up in the air once spring comes around.[8D]

, No cars involved this time! I was hovering upside down about 5ft off the ground, I went to flip it over and I had to much negative pitch programed into my radio and I bogged the head-speed down the heli didn't flip over fast enough. The front of the skids kit the ground then the blades hit the boom and tore it off the heli. I was not a really bad crash, about 60.00 worth of damage. I've since sold that heli and got a 1/10th on-road Car now.[8D]

considering I've never had a "real" RC car (not the Tyco or Niko toy ones from my childhood), but flying is my true passion. other than building tons of foamies this winter I still am caught between a few great looking planes. This is a new one that Cyclone just painted up... http://www.sdshobby.com/new-extra-23...ne-p-1063.htmlI think it will be great along with this inexpensive 80cc engine.. http://www.rc-fans88.com/details.asp?prodid=1672 its 338.00 if you register with the website and 50.00 to ship it to the U.S. by EMS express. I've bought a few things from this website and the past so I think its a legit buy.
I've heard a few good things about MT engines also.

RE: CYCLONE 88
Yea TVL and TJ ; I know you got cold stuff all around you and I only have a little here. Sure glad to be in Texas but ya'll got the real pretty part in the spring. All i get is miles and miles of barren sore eyesight. Would not trade it for nothing sience I have to work outside in the weather year around. Great looking plane TJ and also I was wanting to know about the MT engines. What little I've read is all good. So if you go that way I'll be watching for your input. I would put the DLE-111 on that plane if I was able to afford the bucks. Keep them plane flying Don
