28% Edge 540T Assembly Manual
Step 1.
Open and inspect everything
This section should be fairly self explanatory.
In the large box you should have a fuselage with hatch., wing tube and dual stab tubes, the
elevator/stab assemblies, the rudder, cowl, wheel pants, canopy, and a package with the land-
ing gear, tail wheel bracket and miscellaneous nuts and bolts. Use some acetone on a rag to
clean the glue off the tubes. Under all of this is a false floor, and under that you will find the
wings with ailerons attached. The hinges are installed in the elevators and ailerons
, but they
are not glued, you have to do that.
The hinges for the rudder are in the hardware pack. We
have had good luck with Pro-bond Ultimate and Gorilla glue, both of which are glues that
expand as they dry cure and fill the voids in the hinges and their sockets. The wings and ai-
lerons are made of sheeted foam, so be sure not to use any type of glue which might dissolve
the foam.
Check everything for shipping damage and/or manufacturing defects.
If there is a problem,
report it to us NOW
, not after you start building the plane.
Read the quick start guide
at the end of this manual
first. It has helpful hints
and any errata correc-
tions that may be avail-
able.
Before proceeding to any assembly,
now is a good time to go over the
whole plane and fix any cosmetic
flaws. Some cosmetic flaws are to be
expected, this fact is reflected in the
price.
