Introduction

The Flitework Midi Edge 540 is designed for aerobatic flight and offers a plenty of fun. You can choose 2 different 

kinds of motor sets, one for 3D aerobatic flight and another for speed flight. The speed version of Midi Edge 540 

reaches about 180 km/h (110 mph).

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.
