jars or bowls handy to hold the small parts af-

ter you open the bag.

NOTE.

EDGE 540 V3-30cc - Item code: BH94 . Instruction Manual

Caution: this model is not a toy!

If you are a beginner to this type of powered

model,pleaseaskanexperiencedmodelflyer

forhelpandsupport. If you attempt to operate

themodelwithoutknowingwhatyou are doing

you could easily injure yourself or somebody

else. Please keep your safety and well-being

in mind at all times.

Important: before you start construction

Evenif you have already built a large number

ofRCmodels please read right through these

instructions and check all the kit components

against the parts list. We have taken great

trouble to keep construction as simple as

possible, without making any compromises

in the area of safety.

Note regarding the film covering

Minor creases or bubbles may develop in the

film covering due to major fluctuations in

weather conditions (temperature, humidity

etc.); in rare cases you may even find a slight

warp in a component. These minor faults are

in the nature of film-covered built-up wooden

structures, and can easily be corrected using

a heat gun, as commonly used for modelling.

Creases: Blowwarmairoverthearea

and rub down with a soft

cloth.

When self-tapping screws have to be

screwed into wood, apply a little white

glue to prevent them shaking loose: just

squirt white glue into the hole and fit the

screw.

+ This is not a toy

+ Be sure that no other flyers are using your

radio frequency.

+ Do not smoke near fuel

+ Store fuel in a cool, dry place, away from

children and pets.

+ Wear safety glasses.

+The glow plug clip must be securely at-

tached to the glow plug.

+ Do not flip the propeller with your fingers.

+ Keep loose clothing and wires away from

thepropeller.

+ Do not start the engine if people are near.

Do not stand in line with the side of the pro-

peller.

+ Make engine adjustments from behind the

propeller only. Do not reach around the spin-

ningpropeller.

SAFETY PRECAUTION.

Wing warp: Hold the panel twisted

gently in the opposite

direction to the warp, and

apply warm air to remove

the creases from the

covering.

Caution! do not heat the film more than is

absolutely necessary. If the air or the iron is

too hot, the film may melt and holes may be

formed.

This model is highly pre-fabricated and can

bebuiltina very shorttime.However,thework

which you have to carry out is important and

must be done carefully. The model will only

be strong and fly well if you complete your

tasks competently - so please work slowly

and accurately.

INSTALLING THE STOPPER ASSEMBLY

1) The stopper has been pre-assembled

at the factory.

2) Using a modeling knife, cut one length

ofsiliconfuelline (the length of silicon fuelline

iscalculatedbyhowthe weightedclunkshould

restabout8mmaway from the rear of the tank

andmovefreelyinsidethetank).Connect one

end of the line to the weighted clunk and the

otherendtothe nylon pick up tube inthestop-

per.

3) Carefully bend the second nylon tube

up at a 45 degree angle (using a cigarette

lighter). This tube will be the vent tube to the

muffler.

4) Carefullybendthethirdnylontube down

FUEL TANK.

When the stopper assembly is installed in the

tank, the top of the vent tube should rest just

belowthetop surface of the tank. Itshould not

touch the top of the tank.

9) To secure the fuel tankin place, apply a

bead of silicon sealer to the forward area of

thetank,whereitexitsthefuselagebehindthe

enginemountingboxandtotherearofthetank

at the forward bulkhead.

Do not secure the tank into place perma-

nently until after balancing the airplane. You

may need to remove the tank to mount the

battery in the fuel tank compartment

5) Test fit the stopper assembly into the

tank. It may be necessary to remove some of

the flashing around the tank opening using

amodelingknife. Ifflashing is present, make

sure none of it falls into the tank.

6) When satisfied with the alignment of

thestopperassemblytighten the3mmx20mm

machine screw until the rubber stopper ex-

pandsandsealsthetankopening.Do not over

tighten the assembly as this could cause the

tank to split.

7) Using a modeling knife, cut 3 lengths of

fuel line 150mm long. Connect 2 lines to the 2

vent tubes and 1 line to the fuel pickup tube in

the stopper.

8) Feed three lines through the fuel tank

compartment and through the pre-drilled hole

in the firewall. Pull the lines out from behind

the engine, while guiding the fuel tank into

place. Push the fuel tank as far forward as

possible,thefrontofthetankshouldjustabout

touch the back of the firewall.

Blow through one of the lines to ensure

the fuel lines have not become kinked inside

the fuel tank compartment. Air should flow

througheasily.

1. Install one adjustable metal connector

through the third hole out from the center of

one servo arm, enlarge the hole in the servo

arm using a 2mm drill bit to accommodate the

servo connector. Remove the excess mate-

rial from the arm.

After installing the adjustable metal con-

nector apply a small drop of thin C/A to

the bottom nut. This will prevent the con-

nector from loosening during flight.
