7G: 

Attach all of the control rods to their servos and control horns. Clean up the wiring by taping it down with small sections of clear 
tape. Push a “T” pin through the wing close to the antenna wire receiver exit and run the antenna through the hole to the top of 
the wing. Route it down the fuselage and tape in a few places. Install some self adhesive Velcro to the bottom of the 45 degree 
supports in front of the wing spar and its mating Velcro to your battery. Install your APC 11 x 4.7 prop. The CG point should be at 
the wing spar to 1” behind the spar.  Forward CG allows for smooth precision patterns and rearward CG allows for easier 3D and 
hovering. Depending on your flying style, you should try to achieve the farthest forward CG that still allows for easy 3D flight. Turn 
on your radio and plug in your battery. Make sure that all inputs move the surfaces in the correct direction. Set all of the surfaces 
centered with no trim or sub trim in your radio setup. Following is a good place to start from. Set the high rates to get the 
maximum available throw for each surface without bind and apply your favorite exponential to these. Make your low rates 50% of 
the high rates with your favorite exponential for them. For a Hacker A20-22L or AXI 2212/26 set your ESC for High timing 
advance, Disabled brake, Soft cutoff, 9 V cutoff voltage, Auto throttle sensing, and Normal over amp sensitivity.

 

 

 

 

 

One very important part of flying your new RC-Xplanes 

Edge 540 T

 is a good preflight inspection before you throw it in the 

air with the prop screaming.  
Always do a radio and range check, this includes making sure that all of the surfaces do what you want with the input you 
give. Little can be done if the plane is in the air and rolls right with left roll input or goes down with up elevator. 
Make sure your computer radio mixes do what you expect when activated. 
Make sure all of your control hardware, Motor and prop, Battery etc. is firmly attached.  
 
The Most Important rule? 

Have a blast and show your buddies what an RC-Xplanes

 Edge 540 T

 will do with you at the sticks.
