Black Horse has a long history with the Edge 540 V3 and this is their latest design of the iconic aerobat. With a 2 metre wingspan (almost 79"), this model is perfect for petrol engines in the popular 30 - 35cc class.
With an accurate and well thought-out CAD designed balsa and plywood structure, the Edge 540 V3 has strength where needed, but without adding unecessary weight where it isn't required. The result is a light, strong structure that gives the model a sparkling performance.
The two part wing is constructed from laser cut balsa and ply parts then part-sheeted in balsa before being covered in Oracover film. Wing joining is taken care of with an aluminium tube with front and rear locating pegs. A single servo with short, direct linkage is used for each aileron.
The fuselage is constructed from many interlocking lightened parts to form a strong, semi-monocoque structure. Twin elevator servos are mounted at the rear with short, slop-free heavy-duty linkages with the rudder being operated by closed loop.
A huge, pre-painted glass-fibre cowl and spats are also supplied to keep the build time to a minimum.
Transportation is easy due to the removeable wings and tailplane halves, making this a practical everyday model that will fit in all but the smallest cars. As you would expect, the flight performance is simply amazing,
