About the Design: The Zivko Edge
540 is an unlimited competition plane that has been in the aerobatic scene
since 1993. Produced from the
newest composites it is considered to be one of the very best aerobatic performers
available! The
radical straight leading edge allows the plane to fly true and entry advanced
maneuvers easily. It also permits a wider CG range for great 3D! Our 3D version is perfected to excel at all 3D and
conventional aerobatics. The entire plane has been designed and drawn in CAD with locking parts for a perfect,
strong, and straight airframe. The side rail fuselage design excels at high
alpha flight, and dramatically improves high speed and low speed tracking.
(Looks really cool too!) It
also provides a much stronger (and lighter) fuselage, all so that you can push
the edge just a little bit further...

Building:
If you are new to Depron you HAVE
TO TRY IT!!! The stuff is great! It is all laser cut just like a big
wood kit! It is a tough foam with a smooth, glossy surface. It is easy to
airbrush, spray paint, or "marker". It is lighter than other foams as well
as stronger! We ship it in from Europe, as it is not available here in the
USA. Give yourself a weekend to put all the parts together and get it
painted. It is a fast construction with no ribs, sticks or complicated
structures. We have provided a list of motors and battery combinations on the
plans to help you get the right equipment.

Kit Contents:
-
Basic kit: Comes
with all the parts laser cut and ready for assembly. There is no
cutting out parts by hand here! You will be provided with a professional
boxed kit with all parts in sealed bags. Kit includes all spars, laser cut
Depron,
laser cut ply reinforcements and my radical "Torqued" motor mount system. The
full color, picture illustrated plans and instruction manual are
in digital format (.PDF) on CD and is your choice whether to print them or view
them on the computer. A full hardware kit is included as shown below.
So what does the new "PRO" version get you????
1) All Depron (not "Ultrafoam or FFF") LASER cut parts, all hardware, my
"Torqued" motor mount system, and the Build CD with all the videos, plans,
and manuals.
2) G-Force wing design: This is the heart of the PRO version. It is a 6mm
Depron core, the spar cutout is laser cut FOR YOU! So are the aileron servo
cutouts... Then the beautiful LE is all lightened up with the lightning
holes.... To top it off, the control horn slots are all cut, ready for the
cool 3D Foamy 3D control horns (included) The Beauty of the deal is the top
and bottom LE wing skins. It allows for slower airspeeds on the down lines,
totally eliminates high speed "hunting" (not much to start with though) and
improves the tracking to the point that you WILL NOT think you are flying a
"Flat" wing... The top wing cap covers the servo and lightening cutouts...
The bottom wing cap makes it all symmetrical... By sanding the LE round, it
creates a good separation point for good clean snaps. The Caps carry back to
MAC , then bevel into the 6mm section. This creates a small vortex down the
rest of the wing, allowing better aileron control, less wing rock, and a
little more "lift" for slower landings. This also helps out with the glide
ratio.... It looks awesome too.... the aileron servos and wires are
completely hidden in the wing. No more servo leads dangling in the wind!
3) Direct Drive rudder and elevator linkage. The servos are located as close
as possible to the flight surface. It uses a short carbon pushrod for
control... The plane flies like a 40%er, and so now the controls are setup
the same too!

Molded Carbon Gear Option:
A fully molded composite (Carbon Fiber) main and tail gear set is
available separately.
They are extremely strong and light. The set includes the
axles, laser cut mounting parts, and instructions on assembly. A great option for
indoor and smooth runway operations. ($18.00) (See
Carbon gear Details here)
