This new Edge 540T is happy with pretty much any good 50cc range engine such as a DA-50, BME-50, Brison 3.2, etc. The expanded wing area makes it possible to carry a larger engine and the lighter weight really pushes the performance with a DA-50 into the ballistic range.
The plane is designed for maximum flexibility. It is set up to balance with a G62 with all servos in the tail. With a DA50 it will balance using a pull-pull rudder setup, so you guys with the state of the art lightweight 50s can fly this great aircraft too. The new wider cowl and fuselage will accept a wide variety of engines, even small twins.
An intergrated canister tunnel allows installation of a quiet muffler/header system which canalso boost power. The tunnel cover also provides a roomy area to mount gas and smoke tanks and a smoke system. If
In addition to expanded wing area, the other modifications include larger more powerful ailerons, elevators and rudder, meant for 3D. The "T" model with its long tail moment is already a powerful 3d plane, this just adds to its versatility. The lighter wings make roll performance much more crisp, rolls and snaps start and stop instantly.
Like most Edge designs, this plane is gentle to fly and land. It has very stable flight characteristics, and it lands as gracefully as it flies. But when you crank the double-beveled control throws up it becomes a 3D hot-rod!
As with other Wild Hare ARFs, this plane is 95% complete when you get it. The new ligher wings are built-up, all the wood is laser cut, and the planeâ ¬!"s strength means that it wonâ ¬!"t fall apart at the first bumpy landing. It's designed to be light, but new techniques of construction keep this plane strong as well, strong enough for the everyday pilot. Tab/slot construction, aluminum angle gear reinforcement, all this says the plane is not just for the pros. It's covered in Ultracoat/Oracover and is easily repaired. The pre-mounted cowl mounts with an internal ring so there are no visible fasteners, this makes mounting the engine a snap.
This is the perfect plane for the beginner gasoline engine user. And for those of you with a G62, here's a plane that will give your engine a happy home.
The new Edge 540T is supplied with landing gear and a nice tailwheel assembly and all Robart-style pin hinges. No other hardware is supplied with the kit since many people have their own ideas about hardware. Wild Hare does have available a hardware accessory pack that includes everything you will need to assemble the plane except spinner, engine, and electronics.
