Edge 540 V3 Aerobatic (35-40cc) 1.96m / 78in, Carbon Reinforced, Alloy Hardware

Purpose-built for serious 3D and precision aerobatics, the Edge 540 V3 delivers uncompromising performance with a sleek semi-scale look. Featuring a 1.96m (77.5″) wingspan, this ARTF model is crafted from balsa and plywood with carbon fibre reinforcements in key structural areas. Lightweight, strong, and responsive, it’s designed for experienced flyers pushing the limits of sport and 3D flight.

The V3 comes fitted with durable alloy hardware, pull-pull rudder system, robust landing gear, and a factory-painted fibreglass cowl. It’s designed for 35–40cc petrol engines or an equivalent high-power electric setup. Control authority is exceptional thanks to large surfaces and wide throws, while the airframe remains stable and predictable through aggressive manoeuvres.
