General Information

Dominating a lot of today’s AirRaces, the Edge 540 has gained more and more popularity. Unfortunately most model airplane manufacturers seem to only know the forward swept wings as the very defining feature of an Edge 540. But that‘s not true. Many modelers are fascinated by its particular shape of the fuselage with the huge fin and the smooth cowling.

Well, another challenge for CARF Models to take on. We designed our brand new Edge 540 from the ground up. It’s definitely NOT an Extra with modified cowling and tail, as you can see so often... We used original drawings from the full-scale to create a solid model with modern CAD techniques.

The scale fuselage is very large, in particular compared to other 2.6m planes on the market today! The cowling is so wide that a regular 150 cc engine would fit under it. But of course, the smartest way will be a 120cc flat twin to keep the plane lightweight. For sure, you’ll get the best flight performance with that setup. A 85cc single cylinder engine with tuned pipe might be sufficient regarding the power, but you can get in trouble with the CG. Always remember, because of its particular wing geometry, it’s nearly impossible to become too nose heavy with this plane!

As of early 2014, the CARF Models Edge 540 has received a modification to its wings, adding skin hinged ailerons instead of the centre hinged ones, making them even lighter for better flight performance.

If you are looking for an Edge 540 which really deserves that name, you’re right at CARF Models once again! Get this ultimate 3D-machine right now and share the joy.
