of jars or bowls handy to hold the small parts

after you open the bag.

Pleasetrialfitalltheparts. Makesureyouhave

the correct parts and that they fit and are

alignedproperly beforegluing!Thiswillassure

proper assembly. EDGE 540-V3 ARF is hand

made from natural materials, every plane is

unique and minor adjustments may have to

be made. However, you should find the fit su-

perior and assembly simple.

The painted and plastic parts used in this kit

EDGE 540-V3- Item code:BH93.INSTRUCTION MANUAL

Caution: this model is not a toy!

If you are a beginner to this type of powered

model,please askan experiencedmodelflyer

forhelp andsupport.Ifyouattempttooperate

themodel withoutknowingwhat youaredoing

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

Evenifyou havealready built alarge number

ofRC modelspleaseread rightthrough 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: Blowwarm airoverthearea

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

bebuiltinaveryshort time.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.

up at a 45 degree angle (using a cigarette

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

muffler.

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,the frontofthetankshould justabout

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.

9) To secure thefuel tank inplace, apply a

bead of silicon sealer to the forward area of

thetank, whereit exitsthefuselage behindthe

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
