FMS Edge 540 ARTF 3D Sports RC Plane w/o TX/RX/Battery. The Zivko Edge 540 manufactured by Zivko Aeronautics is a highly
aerobatic aircraft . Capable of a 420 degree per second roll rate and a
3,700 foot per minute climb rate, it has been flown to victory on the
international Unlimited aerobatics circuit several times since the
mid-1990s. A tandem-seat version is sold as theEdge 540T. The Zivko Edge
540 is the most common aircraft used in the Red Bull Air Race World
Series – in fact all champions of the World Series have flown this
aircraft.
The new Edge 540 is the best plane FMS has engineered to date in its
line of aerobatic models. The performance this plane delivers on 4s
power is just amazing! Build a scale model that has the performance
envelope of this kit is nearly unheard of in this size plane. It is
happy wide open eating up the sky or in high alpha flight hanging on the
propeller. At high speed, tracking is predictable and literally flies
like it is on rails, just point it where you want it to go and she goes
with no complaint. We found no bad characteristics even with very hard
control inputs in hard banks. The new composite wing structure is very
ridged and it shows in high G turns and dive pull outs. Simple pull back
on the throttle and the 540 treats you with tons of lift with NO tip
stalls or washout propagation as experienced in other planes in this
size. Doing hovering, waterfalls, and harriers are delightfully fun.
The new 17g digital servos worked flawlessly, providing precise control
even under very high load. Their ability to center precisely even after
hard high load maneuvers was right on par with servos at a much higher
price point. The new 'Gold' 760Kv motor and 60A ESC combination
performed flawlessly.
