Slick 540 Pilot Handbook
I had to post this link on the Slick 540 handbook. I like the bail out manuever with parachute reccomendation. Other than that looks to have all the features of the Edge and Extra, should be a wicked rolling beast.

Re: Slick 540 Pilot Handbook
It's the bastard child of an Extra and an Edge.
I like!

Re: Slick 540 Pilot Handbook
Saw it at EAA in Oshkosh. It's a nice plane. Is it a reduced scale?

Re: Slick 540 Pilot Handbook
It sure does! Now I can tell everyone my plane is a custom prototype Slick 540.

Re: Slick 540 Pilot Handbook
Seriously, the difference is 180 cu. in., 2 more cylinders, about 100 hp, and a hundred pounds or so. Usually a shorter turtledeck and longer upper boot cowl on the 540. That is because to get it to balance with the bigger engine the pilot has to sit back further.

Re: Slick 540 Pilot Handbook
Looks to have a slight difference on the leading edge of the wing. Seems to have the wing of a 260 merged with a 540 very slight leading edge angle, but definately not quite an edge nor a 260 and higher wing on the fuse.
