It’s refreshing to find an airplane with outstanding aerobatic performance at a price that even the budget-conscious modeler can afford. This combination of performance and value is what makes Seagull Models a unique brand.

For superior aerobatic precision and performance at a great price, try the Edge 540 180 ARF from Seagull. With its exacting control and handling, hovers, torque rolls and other maneuvers feel smooth to the touch. Snap rolls, knife-edge, inside and outside loops...this plane can do it all. Its 3D performance is almost on par with that of higher-priced ARFs, making this Edge 540 a tremendous value.

It’s also completely up-to-date with the latest trends in styling and performance. Its built-up construction uses high-quality balsa and plywood, and it is hand-built, covered and trimmed by professional craftsmen. The Hangar 9® UltraCote® covering, and fiberglass cowl and wheel pants add to its sleek look.
