SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

 

1. Your Edge 540M should not be considered a toy, 

but rather a sophisticated, working model that 

functions very much like a full-size airplane. Because 

of its performance capabilities, the Edge 540M, if not 

assembled and operated correctly, could possibly 

cause injury to yourself or spectators and damage to 

property.

 

2.You must assemble the model according to the 

instructions. Do not alter or modify the model, as 

doing so may result in a unsafe or unflyable model. 

In a few cases the instructions may differ slightly 

from the photos. In those instances the written 

instructions should be considered as correct.

 

3. You must take time to build straight, true and 

strong.

 

4. You must use an R/C radio system that is in first-

class condition and a correctly sized engine and 

components (fuel tank, wheels, etc.) throughout the 

building process.

 

5. You must correctly install all R/C and other 

components so that the model operates correctly on 

the ground and in the air.

 

6. You must check the operation of the model before 

every flight to insure that all equipment is operating 

and that the model has remained structurally sound. 

Be sure to check clevises or other connectors often 

and replace them if they show any signs of wear or 

fatigue.

 

7. If you are not already an experienced R/C pilot, 

you should fly the model only with the help of a 

competent, experienced R/C pilot.

 

8. While this kit has been flight tested to exceed 

normal use, if the plane will be used for extremly 

hight stress flying, such as racing, or if an engine 

larger than one in the recommended range is 

used, the modeler is responsible for taking steps to 

reinforce the hight stress points and/or substituting 

hardware more suitable for the increased stress.

 

9. WARNING: The cowl and wheel pants included in 

this kit are made of fiberglass, the fibers of which 

may cause eye, skin and respiratory tract irritation. 

Never blow into a part to remove fiberglass dust, as 

the dust will blow back into your eyes. Always wear 

safety goggles, a particle mask and rubber gloves 

when grinding, drilling and sanding fiberglass parts. 

Vacuum the parts and work area thoroughly after 

working with fiberglass parts.
