When it comes to aerobatics, there is a new
kid in town. Many flyers believe the Edge 540 can join the exclusive
club of Pitts, Extra, Sukhoi and Cap. With its unique straight leading
edge profile and the fact that the thrust line, wing, and stab are
close to inline, the Edge 540 has the right ingredients to be a winner.
Prebuilt with balsa and ply, finished in a distinctive blue and yellow
covering, T6 aluminum landing gear and with pre-painted fiberglass cowl
and wheel pants, the Edge sits just under 2m in wingspan and looks
every inch the part.
It's removable hatch gives easy access to mid-mounted wing and
radio. With near symmetrical design the Edge offers superb aerobatic
precision and performance. Its large control surfaces allow for perfect
execution of 3-D maneuvers. Snap rolls, knife edge, inside and outside
loops, the Edge has it all.
