Default TOC EDGE 540T

Hi guys,

I just purchased a 30% toc edge, and wanted some set up help.
I am thinking of getting a zdz60 but not sure what servos and other equipment to get, any suggestions ? Any of you guys out there have one of these planes? How do you like them ? Thanks

great forum

congrats on your plane - lots of them flying and they fly great - the ZDZ60 is an older generation engine rather go with a ZDZ50ng or a evo45 or DA50 - servos must be good metal gears with 150oz and a 250+ servo in the tail = hitec 5645/5985 and a 5955 in the tail - enjoy!!!

Thanks Adrian !!,

I already have 2 5985 servos and 2 5965 servos new in their boxes and a couple of used 5625 which I might use for throttle and choke, but would it be ok to use the 5985 and 5965 ?? Thanks

5985 and 5965 sure.

Also.. throw a light 50cc in her.
I have one with a DA-50, fromeco 4800 and reg for rec, and 1 2400 and reg for ignition,
5945's all around and a 5955 on the rudder.

AUW was 15.3 lbs... it floats like a feather.. one of my favorite planes ever!

Good luck!

Thanks guys for all the tips

I had three flights yesterday and this bird is simply amazing.
Powered with a zdz50ng, 5965's on the elevators, 5985's on the airlerons and 5955 on the rudder.

I just am having one problem and dont know what exactly is causing it. During the first flight the bird was rolling to the right a bit, so I trimmed her out and flew perfectly for 2-3 minutes and then the same thing happens rolls again to the right and I have to trim her again. So I landed, checked everything, and couldnt see a problem. Flew again and the same thing would happen over and over again. Any one have any idea what might be causing this ?? Thanks guys for all the help
