Description
The Seagull Edge 540V3 Aerobatic (35-40cc) 1.96m (77.5in) Carbon Reinforced, Alloy Hardware, part number SEA383A, is an ARTF radio-controlled aerobatic aeroplane with a 1.96m wingspan, built for 3D and precision flying. It is a 1:3.7 scale, semi-scale model in an orange colour scheme, aimed at experienced pilots and rated at advanced level.
The airframe is made from balsa and plywood with carbon fibre reinforcement in key structural areas, and it arrives factory assembled and covered in Oracover film. The fitted alloy hardware, pull-pull rudder system, painted dural undercarriage and spring-tensioned steerable tail wheel are all part of the package, along with colour-coordinated glass fibre wheel spats, a factory-painted glass fibre cowl and a plastic spinner.
Large control surfaces and wide throws give plenty of control authority, while the airframe is described as stable and predictable through aggressive manoeuvres. It is designed around a 35-40cc petrol engine or an equivalent high-power electric setup. The wing comes off for storage and transport, a large canopy hatch gives access to the fuselage, and optional screw-on wingtip fences are provided. It is recommended for ages 14 and over and for use at a designated R/C model flying site.
The real Edge 540 is a well-known unlimited-class aerobatic aircraft, flown in events such as the Red Bull Air Race, and this model follows its lightweight construction and symmetrical wing layout.

Customer Reviews
Couple of small issues, the tailplane joiner tube would not fit through the fuz tube, by sanding to make it fit the tube was so thin it broke out of the fuz . One of the wing fastener plate had broken away but a drop glue sorted that. Otherwise a great kit, goes together well and looks great.
The guys at wheel spin sorted an delivery issue caused by the Royal Mail very professionally and promptly so 5 stars for the service from wheelspin
