EN ® he E-flite Edge 540QQ 280 BNF Basic, designed by world champion Quique Somenzini, has been Tfly specifi cally built to provide exceptional precision scale and 3D aerobatic performance so that you can from practically anywhere, such as a park or small field. Beyond the advanced composite-reinforced foam construction, you’ll appreciate how its expert-approved control and power system components are installed, making it possible for you to get flying faster.
EN Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC) When a Li-Po battery is discharged below 3V per cell, it will not hold a charge. The aircraft’s ESC protects the flight battery from over-discharge using Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC). Once the battery discharges to 3V per cell, the LVC will reduce the power to the motor in order to leave adequate power to the receiver and servos to land the airplane. When the motor power decreases, land the aircraft immediately and replace or recharge the flight battery.
EN Installing the Flight Battery 1. Remove the battery hatch from the nose of the aircraft. 2. Apply the included strip of hook and loop tape to the bottom of your battery near the battery leads. This position allows easier battery installation and removal. 3. For the recommended CG, install the battery fully forward in the compartment (against the firewall), then press the battery onto the hook and loop strip (A). See the Adjusting the Center of Gravity instructions for more information. A 4.
EN Arming the ESC Arming the ESC also occurs after binding as previously described, but subsequent connection of a flight battery requires the steps below. Tip: If the ESC sounds a continuous double beep after the flight battery is connected, recharge or replace the battery. If you accidentally connect the battery while the throttle is fully opened, a musical tone will sound after 5 seconds. Disconnect the battery immediately. 1 Lower throttle and throttle trim to lowest settings.
EN Installing the Wing 1. Slide the wing tube into the right wing. 2. Insert the right wing with the wing tube (A) into the round hole in the wing slot of the fuselage while connecting the right aileron control. NOTICE: When disconnecting the servo connectors, do not pull on the servo wires. Use a screwdriver or pliers to break the friction fit of the servo connectors. Failure to do so could result in damage to the servo wiring. A 3.
EN Control Direction Test You should bind your aircraft and transmitter before doing these tests. Move the controls on the transmitter to make sure the aircraft control surfaces move correctly and in the proper direction. Make sure the tail linkages move freely and that paint or decals are not adhered to them. Control Centering Before the first flights, or in the event of an accident, make sure the flight control surfaces are centered.
EN Dual Rates and Expos 25mm / 15mm / Elevator 35mm / 8mm / Rudder 20mm / 13mm Aileron Elevator Rudder Tip: For the first flight, fly the model at LOW RATE. For more information, videos and advanced settings for expert pilots, (including Quique explaining how to fly the EFL Micro Edge 540), visit www.E-fliteRC.com/Edge540. Low Rate Dual Rates High Rate Aileron Expo We recommend using a DSM radio capable of dual rates and expo.
EN Adjusting Center of Gravity (CG) The CG location is 40-42mm back from the leading edge of the wing at the root. The battery cavity is oversized to allow for Center of Gravity adjustment. Start by placing the battery fully forward against the firewall with the connectors facing the rear of the aircraft. Adjust as needed by sliding the battery back. 40-42mm Applying Decals Customize your aircraft by applying water-based number decals (A) on both sides of the fuselage. 1. Ensure the fuselage is clean. 2.
EN Removing the Landing Gear A 1. Remove the 4 screws (A), fairings (B) and covers (C) from the fuselage. B B C 2. Push the landing gear struts together and pull away from the fuselage to remove the landing gear. Assemble in reverse order.
EN Flying Tips and Repairs Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a location to fly your aircraft. We recommend flying your E-flite® 540 Edge outside in no greater than moderate winds. Always avoid flying near houses, trees, wires and buildings. You should also be careful to avoid flying in areas where there are many people, such as busy parks, schoolyards or soccer fields. Takeoff Place the aircraft in position for takeoff (facing into the wind).
EN Service of Power Components Disassembly CAUTION: Always disconnect the battery before handling or adjusting the propeller or motor. Failure to do so could result in personal injury. B Propeller A 1. Remove the 2 screws (A) from the spinner (B). Carefully separate the spinner from the back plate (C). 2. Remove the lock nut (D) from the propeller shaft (E), then remove the propeller (F) and back plate. B A D F C E Motor and Firewall 1. Carefully remove the cowling (G) from the fuselage.
EN Troubleshooting Guide Problem Aircraft will not respond to throttle but responds to other controls Extra propeller noise or extra vibration Possible Cause Lower throttle stick and throttle trim to lowest setting Throttle channel is reversed Reverse throttle channel on transmitter Motor disconnected from ESC Servo travel set up is less than 100% Damaged propeller, spinner or motor Make sure motor is connected to the ESC Adjust servo travel to 100% or slightly greater Replace damaged parts Prop nut
