This is a number four screw that is 3/4" [19mm] long

with forty threads per inch.

Socket Head Cap Screws (SHCS) are designated by
a number, threads per inch, and a length. For example
4-40 x 3/4" [19mm].

This is a 4-40 SHCS that is 3/4" [19mm] long with forty

threads per inch.

When you see the term test fi t in the instructions,
it means that you should fi rst position the part on the
assembly without using any glue, then slightly modify
or custom fi t the part as necessary for the best fi t.

Whenever the term glue is written you should rely upon
your experience to decide what type of glue to use. When
a specifi c type of adhesive works best for that step, the
instructions will make a recommendation.

We recommend 30-minute epoxy only, because you will
need the working time or the additional strength.

Photos and sketches are placed before the step they
refer to. Frequently you can study photos in following
steps to get another view of the same parts.

The Edge 540T EP ARF is factory-covered with Top

fi lm. Should repairs ever be required,

MonoKote can be patched with additional MonoKote
purchased separately. MonoKote is packaged in six-foot
rolls, but some hobby shops also sell it by the foot. If
only a small piece of MonoKote is needed for a minor
patch, perhaps a fellow modeler would give you some.
MonoKote is applied with a model airplane covering iron,
but in an emergency a regular iron could be used. A roll
of MonoKote includes full instructions for application.
Following are the colors used on this model and order
numbers for six foot rolls.
