Edge 540 60" V2, Blue/Yellow ARF kit
Product Details
Description
Extreme Flight Edge 540 60" V2 EXP ARF Kit - YELLOW/BLUE
The V2 of the famous EF Edge EXP! It features the same incredible performance envelope as the V1, but it has some fresh color schemes and an improved airframe, thanks to the carbon layer on top of the wood.
The Edge
features many of the construction techniques and technology incorporated into
our hugely successful 48 inch EXP line. Rather than using carbon fiber and G10
composites as a way to dress up our aircraft and coming up with some kind of
flashy name to use as a marketing gimmick, we actually use carbon fiber to add
strength to the airframe at points that can greatly benefit from this material.
Carbon fiber longerons add strength and rigidity to the fuselage while
allowing it to be handled and transported without fear of breaking it. G10
composite sheets are used to reinforce the landing gear plate and supporting
structure creating one of the toughest and most durable landing gear mounting
systems in the business. Airfoiled carbon fiber landing gear, tail wheel
assembly, and wing tube provide strength and durability at a great savings in
weight. Of course the Edge features the intricate interlocking laser-cut
construction pioneered by Extreme Flight almost a decade ago.
The flying characteristics of the Edge must be experienced
to be fully appreciated. There is simply no other aircraft that is any more
stable in high alpha flight than the 60 inch Edge. If you are looking for an
airframe to help you master the Harrier maneuver, then look no further, it
simply doesn't get any easier. The Edge inspires confidence when you are down
low and slow and won't bite you if you get a little sloppy with your inputs. It has enough mass to maintain
inertia for a super fast roll rate and insane gyroscopic tumbling maneuvers,
yet is light enough to float like a feather on landings. There are
companies out there that would have you believe that low weight is the "be
all end all" characteristic of a great 3D aircraft. This simply is not
true. While a relatively light weight airframe is important, we must remember
that we are flying aerobatic aircraft, not box kites. The 5-6 pound weight of
the Edge has been perfectly matched to the aircraft's size and power system
allowing it to be docile and "floaty" when required and fast and
aggressive when desired. The performance envelope of the Edge is simply
astounding.
