  • Composite-ARF Edge 540 2.6m, 18 |Page Edge 540/2.6m measure your servo and servo arm to make sure the measurements suit your needs. If not make the necessary adjustments. Cut out the marked out area using your Dremel tool with a cut off wheel or burr. You can also use a sharp X-Acto hobby knife. Take your time if using a Dremel! Mount your servo using the 2.9mm sheet metal screws provided. The output shaft of the servo goes toward the stab tube. Pass the servo lead through the pre drilled hole in the rib before dropping the servo in place. You will need to assemble the components that make up the push rod. It may be necessa

  • Composite-ARF Edge 540 2.6m, 20 |Page Edge 540/2.6m The ailerons on the Composite Arf Edge 540 differ from what has been up to now, normal for Composite Arf models, the ailerons are centre hinged! The ailerons now use a hinge tube just like the rudder and elevators. The ailerons are huge, and require 2 brass hinge tubes, to cover the length of the aileron. The 2 brass tubes can be left as 2 separate pieces, or you may elect to join the 2 pieces with a piece of 1/8 th brass tube. The 1/8 th tube is a snug fit in the 4mm tube and soldering should not be necessary. Leaving the tubes separated will not create any problems, it’s your choice!

  • Composite-ARF Edge 540 2.6m, 21 |Page Edge 540/2.6m servo mount. Don’t forget to give the surface of the hatch a light sand before applying the epoxy. Set aside and allow epoxy to set. Now your servo hatches are complete, and you can now fit them to the wing. Sit the hatch in place and hold them there with some masking tape while your pre drill the holes for the hatch retaining screws Use a small drill bit (1.5-2mm) to drill the holes for the hatch cover retention screws. Use the 2.9mmx15mm sheet metal screws provided. A 200mm extension lead w

  • Composite-ARF Edge 540 2.6m, 9 | Page Edge 540/2.6m Tailwheel Assembly: When fitting the tailwheel assembly, the choice of wire style, or carbon leaf style, is completely up to your personal preference. You will find there is plenty of area behind the stern post to accommodate almost all types of commercially available tailwheel assemblies. The flat bottom surface of the Composite Arf Edge 540 makes tailwheel assembly mounting very simple. During construction we elected to use a Haig style titanium wire tailwheel assembly from J&J Tailwheels. Behind the stern post there is

  • 16 |Page Edge 540/2.6m Once you have your ignition/battery tray assembled and trimmed to fit neatly inside the engine dome, tack it in place with CA and kicker. Make sure you are satisfied with the position of everything, and that the throttle servo is correctly placed. When you are fully satisfied, epoxy in place (don’t forget to lightly sand the area first. 280mm 100mm Ignition and battery tr

  • Composite-ARF Edge 540 2.6m, 32 |Page Edge 540/2.6m To ventilate the fuselage you will need to cut some cooling slots. The fuselage material is easy to cut out, using your Dremel. Finishing with a sanding drum will keep the process simple and tidy. Where you place the slots is again dependent on the final fit out and components used. But as you can see from the picture there is ample room for a sufficient number of ventilation slots. Keep in mind that you should not cut through the seam line or the fibreglass reinforcement band. Keep your vent slots about 25mm from the seam line. Use the seam line as a reference to keep your vent slots nice and straight. The shape of the slots is not that important, b

  • Composite-ARF Edge 540 2.6m, 26 |Page Edge 540/2.6m Place some masking tape on the fuselage roughly where your mark will be. With the straightedge on the canopy seat mark a line using the measurement you just established. Now that you have the servo arm position marked on the outside of the fuselage, you can use a string line to mark the horizontal cable line. You will need a couple of meters of string with a loop at one end. Attach the loop to the rudder horn using the 3mm bolts provided. Centre the string loop between the control horns, then position the other end of the string over the servo mark. Tension the string so there is no sag, then hold in place with some masking tape. You have

  • Composite-ARF Edge 540 2.6m, 6 | Page Edge 540/2.6m You will not require any specialized tools to build your Edge 540. However some items make the job a little easier, such as a tapered reamer (RC car body reamer), a step drill bit and a centre drill bit. These items make drilling holes in the composite materials less problematic, and very simple. Normal drills , can at times, tear at the material, particularly when making larger holes. The centre dill bit ensures an accurate drill path during the drilling process. These items should be easily obtained from your local hobby store, and or hardware store like “Home Depot” etc. If you can’t obtain these

  • Composite-ARF Edge 540 2.6m, 13 |Page Edge 540/2.6m A DA100/120 has a bolt separation pattern of 70mm across and 80mm from top to bottom. Make your marks as shown in the picture above. When you are satisfied with your engine position markings, drill your mounting holes. Drill a 3mm pilot hole first, then use a 7mm drill bit to enlarge the hole to suit the 6mm T-nut. Using a 6mm bolt and a washer pull the T-nuts into position. The engine standoff’s need to be 54mm on the RH side and 58mm on the LH side (pilots view), to achieve the correct thrust line. If

  • Composite-ARF Edge 540 2.6m, 31 |Page Edge 540/2.6m It is important to keep your engine cool, regardless of the engine manufacturer. Keeping your engine cool is good practice, your engine will like love for it! Another area you must also consider is the fuselage. If you are running canisters or tuned pipes this is a must! We will show you how we ducted the air to the DA120 that we used. Clearly with so many engine choices, it would be impossible to cover all variations. But the principle is the same, and the following is a good guideline for you to follow. Remember, what we are trying to achieve, is to channel all the incoming air from the two openings at the front of the cowl directly onto the

  • Composite-ARF Edge 540 2.6m, 19 |Page Edge 540/2.6m The stab tube is already complete and ready for you to use, no more needs to be done other than fit the tube to the stabs. The retention bolts have been pre fitted for you, and only requires you to fit the stabs to the fuselage. The stab tube may already be marked with L and R, to help you distinguish the correct orientation. If not, don’t stress, it can only go one of two ways! Before you attach the stabs to the fuselage you will need to make the exit for the elevator servo leads. Essenti

  • Composite-ARF Edge 540 2.6m, 28 |Page Edge 540/2.6m Parts Required: § Wooden Tank Tray Components § Plywood Tank Tray Saddle Components § Tank Tray parts bag § Fuel Tank  DuBro 32oz § Tygon Fuel Line Tools Required: § Steel rule(s) § Marking pen § Ball Driver(s) Fitting the fuel tank tray should be one of the last things you do when assembling the Edge 540. Although the tank tray is designed to be removable, to give you better access to the front of the model. It can still be a little awkward working around the tank tray saddle, which is permanently fixed in position on the wing tube socket. So with this in mind sort out your equipment fit out in advance of getting to t

  • Composite-ARF Edge 540 2.6m, 11 |Page Edge 540/2.6m Now that both the top and bottom halves of the cowl are joined, it’s time to mount the complete assembly to the fuselage. Align the cowl on the fuselage and check the fit. Now is the time to make any small adjustments if necessary. If all is OK, secure the cowl onto the fuselage with masking tape. The first bolt to fit is the top bolt. Finding centre here is pretty simple, just use the seam line at the top of the fuselage. Make a mark 10mm from the rear edge of the cowl. All the bolts securing the cowl to the fuselage will be 10mm from the rear edge. From your centre mark measure 115mm, and make a mark. Do

  • Composite-ARF Edge 540 2.6m, 23 |Page Edge 540/2.6m It’s important that you fit the canopy while the canopy frame is attached to the fuselage, this will keep the frame properly aligned and not twisted. Masking tape is used to hold the canopy in position prior to gluing. It may pay to have another pair of hands available to assist you here. Perhaps you can bribe your best buddy with a beer, or two (after their assistance)! When you have trimmed the canopy and prepared the canopy frame, attach the frame to the fuselage and secure in position with the mounting bolts. Make up some grip handles from masking tape and attach to the canopy. Use as many as you see fit, but usu

  • Composite-ARF Edge 540 2.6m, 8 | Page Edge 540/2.6m Wheel Pants: The wheel pants are recessed to fit against the carbon undercarriage legs, you will need to epoxy in place the “U” shaped milled plywood pieces to the inside of the wheel pants. Rough up the inner surface of the wheel pant with some sand paper, prior to applying epoxy. This section of the wheel pant is reinforced with Kevlar, and the recessed moulded section is quite prominent and easy to locate. Epoxy the plywood “U’ piece in place and set aside until cured. After the epoxy has cured, locate the dimple in the recess at the inside outer surface of the wheel pant. You need to drill at this point a hole large enough to acc

  • Composite-ARF Edge 540 2.6m, 4 | Page Edge 540/2.6m Servo arms: The longer the servo arm the more pressure there is on the servo. If you are not into full 3D consider using 1.25” arms, you will still get plenty of surface travel, just not the extreme movement. Extreme surface travel is mostly only handy for post stalled manoeuvres like rolling harriers, very flat spins and the likes. But having extreme throws comes at a price, the possibility of high speed flutter is increased, and servo resolution is compromised for IMAC/spor

  • Composite-ARF Edge 540 2.6m, 34 |Page Edge 540/2.6m This is an option that can only be done if you have elected to glue in place the battery/ignition tray as previously described earlier in the manual. If you are not using this tray cutting access is not an option! Having the tray glued in place significantly increases the rigidity of the engine dome. Cutting the access holes and canister holes can compromise the strength of the engine dome. You can have either access holes or canister holes, not both, unless you glue the battery/ignition tray in place. To aid

  • Composite-ARF Edge 540 2.6m, 30 |Page Edge 540/2.6m Run your fuel line to the engine taking care to ensure that it doesn’t rub against the fibreglass or plywood structures. Where you run the fuel line is partially dependant on which engine you choose, and exhaust system fitted. Please view the pictures below for where the fuel and vent lines were run during our build. All of our fuel lines were held in place with self adhesive clips and where the line passed through the fuselage rubber grommets were used. There is plenty of room on the tank tray for most if not all of you RX components. How you arrange this ar
