The Hangar 9
®
Edge 540 accepts gas engines
ranging from 60 through 80cc. The prototype Edges
were flown using Zenoah
®
G62s and Zenoah GT80s.
The G62 offers good sport performance and is a
good choice for doing all IMAC basic and sportsman
maneuvers. While the G62-equipped Edge doesn’t
quite provide unlimited vertical performance, most
experienced sport flyers find that the G62 offers
plenty of power for all but the most aggressive
types of aerobatics.
If you’re a 3D fanatic or an Advanced or Unlimited
IMAC class competitor, Zenoah’s GT80 offers power
for more extreme vertical maneuvers.
Note: Before beginning this section, remove
the standard GT-80 prop drive and replace
with the 2" prop drive (ZEN20004).
GT80 Installation
Step 1
Fit the engine to the firewall using four
1/4-20 x 1/2” socket head screws, split washers
and blind nuts provided.
Step 2
The GT80 throttle servo is positioned as shown in
the top of the engine box. Mount the servo using the
hardware supplied with the servo.
