A popular competitor on the Unlimited Class circuit and at international air races, the Edge 540 is a world-class aircraft known for exceptional aerobatics and precision maneuvers. In this model manufacturer has captured every detail of this spirited performer in a stunning replica that is a worthy addition to the Performance Series of high-quality R/C models that combine easy assembly with realistic flight! Outstanding manufacturing, parts fit and prefabrication allow the Edge 540 to be flight ready in about 20-25 hours. The rudder and each elevator half utilize independent servos for consistent yaw and pitch control. Servos can be mounted in the fuselage for a lightweight pull-pull setup, or in the tail for a shorter, more direct linkage. Each aileron is controlled by an individual servo. Short, direct linkages make roll control precise, positive, dependable and easy to set up. Large control surfaces and full deflection throws enable the Edge 540 to react quickly to 3D control inputs. Knife edge, high alpha, inverted, upright... these and any other extreme maneuvers you can think of are at your command with this exciting aerobat! The beautifully molded fiberglass cowl and wheel pants are expertly painted to match the trim scheme. From every angle this model is a stunner! Distinctively different factory applied trim schemes on the top and bottom make easy to follow the model orientation during maneuvers. The composite landing gear offers smooth contours that perfectly complement the scale looks, and provides the strength and reliability needed for confident touchdowns.

Edge 540 is another fine example of a Performance Series sport/precision/3D airplane that flies great and is easy to assemble. It's also one of today's most recognized aerobatic planes.
