Introduction

The Flitework Edge 540 1.2m is a handy sized model, which is constructed for a big range of aerobatic- or 3D flight. 

In case of the light weight construction the flight characteristics are very good-natured. This Edge is a nice designed 

trainer for every day. 

The original plane is located in Hangar 7 of Red Bull - Salzburg/Austria. Red Bull uses it for air shows, flown by the 

multiple champion of the Red Bull Airrace - Hannes Arch.

Attention please!

Remote controlled model planes are not a toy! For assembling, flying and servicing such models, you need a high 

grade of technical comprehension and liability. Careless assembling and operation may cause personal and material 

damage.

Because the Flitework GmbH has no influence on assembly, RC installation, operation and servicing of the flight 

device, any liability is rejected under explicit advice to these dangers.
