ASSEMBLY MANUAL

EDGE 540.Instruction Manual.

INTRODUCTION.

Thank you for choosing the EDGE 540 ARTF by SG MODELS . The EDGE 540 was

designed with the intermediate/advanced sport flyer in mind. It is a semi scale airplane which is

easy to fly and quick to assemble. The airframe is conventionally built using balsa, plywood to make

it stronger than the average ARTF , yet the design allows the aeroplane to be kept light. You will find

that most of the work has been done for you already.Flying the EDGE 540 is simply a joy.

This instruction manual is designed to help you build a great flying aeroplane. Please read this

manual thoroughly before starting assembly of yourEDGE 540. Use the parts listing below to identify

all parts.

WARNING.

Please be aware that this aeroplane is not a toy and if assembled or used incorrectly it

is capable of causing injury to people or property. WHEN YOU FLY THIS AEROPLANE YOU

ASSUME ALL RISK & RESPONSIBILITY.

If you are inexperienced with basic R/C flight we strongly recommend you contact your R/C

supplier and join your local R/C Model Flying Club. R/C Model Flying Clubs offer a variety of training

procedures designed to help the new pilot on his way to successful R/C flight. They will also be able

to advise on any insurance and safety regulations that may apply.

NOTE:To avoid scratching your new aero-

plane we suggest that you cover your

workbench with an old towel. Keep a

couple of jars or bowls handy to hold

the small parts after you open the

bags.

Please trial fit all parts. Make sure you

have the correct parts and that they fit

and are aligned properly before gluing!

This will ensure proper assembly as

the EDGE 540 is made from natural

materials and minor adjustments may

have to be made.

The paint and plastic parts used in

this kit are fuel proof. However, they

are not tolerant of many harsh chemi-

cals including the following: paint

thinner, cyano-acrylate glue accel-

erator, cyanoacrylate glue de-bonder

and acetone. Do not let these chemi-

cals come in contact with the colours

on the covering and the plastic parts.

4)Deflect the aileron and completely

saturate each hinge with thin C/A glue. The

ailerons front surface should lightly contact the

wing during this procedure. Ideally, when the

hinges are glued in place, a 1/64” gap or less

will be maintained throughout the lengh of the

aileron to the wing panel hinge line.

Note:

The control surfaces, including the

ailerons, elevators, and rudder, are prehinged

with hinges installed, but the hinges are not

glued in place. It is imperative that you properly

adhere the hinges in place per the steps that

follow using a high-quality thin C/A glue.

1) Carefully remove the aileron from one

of the wing panels. Note the position of the

hinges.

2) Remove each hinge from the wing panel

and aileron and place a T-pin in the center of

each hinge. Slide each hinge into the aileron

until the T-pin is snug against the aileron. This

will help ensure an equal amount of hinge is

on either side of the hinge line when the aileron

is mounted to the wing panel.

HINGING THE AILERONS.

Note:

The hinge is constructed of a special

material that allows the C/A to wick or penetrate

and distribute throughout the hinge, securely

bonding it to the wood structure of the wing

panel and aileron.

3) Slide the aileron on the wing panel until

there is only a slight gap. The hinge is now

centered on the wing panel and aileron.

Remove the T-pins and snug the aileron

against the wing panel. A gap of 1/64” or less

should be maintained between the wing panel

and aileron.

8) After both ailerons are securely hinged,

firmly grasp the wing panel and aileron to

make sure the hinges are securely glued and

cannot be pulled out. Do this by carefully

applying medium pressure, trying to separate

the aileron from the wing panel. Use caution

not to crush the wing structure.

Note:Work the aileron up and down several

times to “work in” the hinges and check for

proper movement.

HINGING THE ELEVATORS.

Glue the elevator hinges in place using the

same techniques used to hinge the ailerons.

HINGING THE RUDDER.

Glue the rudder hinges in place using the

same techniques used to hinge the ailerons.

INSTALLING THE AILERON SERVOS.

We recommended to use long servos arm

for all servos without throttle servo.

Using a small weight (Weighted fuel pick-up

works well) and thread, feed the string through

the wing as indicated.

7) Repeat this process with the other wing

panel, securely hinging the aileron in place.

5) Turn the wing panel over and deflect the

aileron in the opposite direction from the

opposite side. Apply thin C/A glue to each

hinge, making sure that the C/A penetrates into

both the aileron and wing panel.

6) Using C/A remover/debonder and a

paper towel, remove any excess C/A glue that

may have accumulated on the wing or in the

aileron hinge area.

String.

Small weight.

Install the rubber grommets and brass

collets onto the aileron servo. Test fit the

servo into the aileron servo mount.

Because the size of servos differ, you

may need to adjust the size of the precut open-

ing in the mount. The notch in the sides of

the mount allow the servo lead to pass through.

Thread.

Attach the thread to the servo lead and

carefully thread it though the wing. Once you

have thread the lead throught the wing, remove

the string so it can use for the other servo

lead. Tape the servo lead to the wing to prevent

it from falling back into the wing.

Secure the servos with the screws pro-

vided with your radio system.

Repeat the procedure for the other wing

half.

ENGINE MOUNT.

See pictures below ( Engine mount do not

include ) :

Mark and drill 4 holes for engine mount.

1) Using a modeling knife, carefully cut

off the rear portion of one of the 3 nylon tubes

leaving 1/2” protruding from the rear of the

stopper. This will be the fuel pick up tube.

2) Using a modeling knife, cut one length

of silicon fuel line. Connect one end of the line

to the weighted fuel pick up and the other end

to the nylon pick up tube.

3) Carefully bend the second nylon tube

up at a 45º angle.This tube is the vent tube.

EDGE 540.Instruction Manual.

Carefully use a lighter or heat gun to

permenently set the angle of the vent tube.

Important: When the stopper assembly is

installed in the tank, the top of the vent tube

should rest just below the top surface of the

tank. It should not touch the top of the tank.

4) Test fit the stopper assembly into the

tank.It may be necessary to remove some of

the flashing around the tank opening using a

modeling knife. If flashing is present, make

sure none falls into the tank.

Attach the silicone fuel and pressure pipes

to the tank. The lower pipe is the ‘feed’ and the

upper two the ‘pressure and fill’. The fill pipe is

the next pipe.

5) With the stopper assembly in place,

the weighted pick up should rest away from

the rear of the tank and move freely inside the

tank. The top of the vent tube should rest just

below the top of the tank. It should not touch

the top of the tank.

6) When satisfied with the alignment of

the stopper assembly tighten the 3 x 20mm

machine screw until the rubber stopper ex-

pands and seals the tank opening.Do not

overtighten the assembly as this could cause

the tank to split.

be difficult to determine which is which.

3) When you are satisfied with the align-

ment, mark the locations of the engine

mounting.

MOUNTING THE ENGINE.

1) Install the pushrod housing through the

predrilled hole in the firewall and into the servo

compartment. The pushrod housing should

protrude 1/4" out past the front of the firewall.

Make a Z-Bend 1/4" from one end of the plain

wire pushrod.

3) Secure the servos with the screwspro-

vided with your radio system.

4) Remove the engine. Using an drill bit,

drill the mounting holes through the engine

mount at the four locations marked.

6) Attach the Z-Bend in the pushrod wire to

the throttle arm on the carburetor. You will need

to remove the throttle arm from the car- buretor

to be able to attach the Z-bend. When

complete, re-attach the throttle arm to the car-

buretor.

5) Bolt the engine to the engine mount using

the four machine screws. Double check that

all the screws are tight before proceeding.
