Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Mini Edge 540 3D ARF,
which is based on the popular 33% Hangar 9® Edge 540
and is capable of the same extreme 3D performance you
get with larger models. Backed by E-flite’s high quality
reputation, the Mini Edge 540 should provide you with the
superior performance and features you are looking for in an
aerobatic park flyer.
We provide a 6.6:1 gearbox and a 12 x 6 propeller so you
can easily add our E-flite™ Park 400 Brushless motor for
extreme performance. The Mini Edge features lightweight
balsa and light-ply construction, UltraCote® covering,
fiberglass cowl and wheel pants, and carbon fiber landing
gear. The mid-wing design makes it ideal for aerobatics such
as hovering and other precision 3D maneuvers.
