28% Edge 540T Assembly Manual
Steps 9, 10, 11.
Installation of fuel system, radio and con-
trol linkages
These 3 subjects are combined on one page because this is the part where you get to do
things your way. We have only done a few things to get you started.
1. There are holes cut in both fuse sides that will fit any of the popular integrated switch/
charge jack assemblies. These are available from
Maxx Products, Cermark, JR, and probably several
other vendors. Some trimming may be required.
Since the fuse sides are balsa new holes are easily
cut with a razor knife if you need to mount your
switch in a different location. The location shown
in the picture is convenient and will just clear the
wing when it is installed.
If you do cut into the
fuse side for any reason do not cut the 1/4” balsa
stringers at the top and bottom of each side.
2. The fuel tank can be mounted on the tray beneath the wing tube. Putting it there mini-
mizes changes in balance as the engine burns off fuel.
3. There are two trays which are meant to hold the receiver, battery pack(s), and one or two
rudder servos if a pull-pull is chosen.
4. IN case you need to add weight in the front of the plane for balancing, the sides of the
motor box at the front are a
good place to mount the re-
ceiver packs. Be sure to
range check your radio to be
sure no interference is being
caused by the batteries being
in close proximity to the en-
gine’s ignition system.
