STEP M 

BALANCING (C.G.)

 2"  IN FRONT OF WING TUBE or 3 3/4” BACK 

FROM THE LEADING EDGE OF THE WING. 

 
 

1)  Balance the Edge 540T with fuel tank empty otherwise ready to fly. 
 
2) With the wings and stabs on the plane, and the hatch cover removed. Using your fingers pick 
up the model by the fuse sides at the proper C.G. location. The model should balance at this point. 
This is a starting point for the C.G. and can be adjusted forward or aft depending on your flying 
desires.

STEP N 

FLYING 

 
 
 
We believe the Edge 540T will be one of the finest flying airplanes you will ever fly.  The 540T has no bad 
habits and very slow speed stall characteristics. 
 
Inverted flight is nearly hands off and knife edge flight takes little or no mixing to remain straight and true. 
 
Remember the Edge is a large aircraft and picks up speed quickly when coming out of split S type 
maneuvers or when needing straight downward.  (Always throttle back). 
 
If you have followed the assembly manual instructions and have balance your Edge properly, you will be 
rewarded with a highly aerobatic, stable and predictable flying airplane.
