Re: NEW EDGE 540 COMPOSITE-ARF
About time, but...
A couple of points. Why didn't they mold an accurate cowl with the current lower inlet design. Second, Since they center hinged the ailerons, likely using the long rod hinge axel shaft they've used for so long, have they addressed the hinge pin hole wear issue and inserted a bearing at each hinge location from the beginning, or will that again be something the owner has to fix later? |

Re: NEW EDGE 540 COMPOSITE-ARF
Canopy to small for me! I like the big carden canopy, or shall i say bigger carden canopy. To me looks better with larger canopy. I do however like the counter balance on the ailerons!! Very cool!!
Thanks, |

Re: NEW EDGE 540 COMPOSITE-ARF
That's not too bad. I also wonder if they will go with a single aileron servo. The split cowl is a nice touch.

Re: NEW EDGE 540 COMPOSITE-ARF
For now, both color schemes are boring. And no possibility to make your own, color swap only
 .http://www.carf-models.com/public_ca...ges/large0.jpg http://www.carf-models.com/public_ca...ges/large0.jpg Something like Fantasy, Thunderbolt or even Red bull  would have been nice schemes to see on CARF EDGE.

Re: NEW EDGE 540 COMPOSITE-ARF
Hmm... with center hinged ailerons.. no more squeal. Not sure if that's good or bad. It does look like a nice plane.

Re: NEW EDGE 540 COMPOSITE-ARF
Well I don't know if I would spend the cash for a compy but it sure would be tempting if they came out with a 150cc version.
