42" Edge 540

Flat foamy with an airfoil wing!

This aerobatic plane was is a scaled up version of the 32" Edge 540 and the KF airfoil was changed to a hotwire cut full symetrical airfoil. Due to the larger size the design was modified as necessary to handle the additional weight and flight loads. I am happy to say that I was able to keep all of the good flying characteristics of the smaller Edge 540 with out sacrificing anything. Now we have a plane that is an EPP counterpart to the 36" outdoor depron aerobatic planes and can use the same gear.

Details

Details and a build log of this plane can be found on RcGroups.
The kit consists of all the foam pieces precut.
The parts are CNC cut and have tabs for easy assembly.
The kit is cut from 1.5 lb "Beefy" EPP (1.3 lb wing).
All of the control surfaces come prebeveled.
