INSTRUCTION MANUAL H-KING WARGO EDGE 540T 38” 3D AEROBATIC PLANE (ARF VERSION)
WARNING Please read this instruction manual fully and become completely familiar with the features of this product before operating. Failure to operate this product correctly could result in damage to the product, personal property and cause serious injury. This is a sophisticated hobby product and is NOT a toy. It must always be operated with caution, common sense and some basic mechanical ability. This manual provides instructions as to the assembly, safe operation and maintenance of this hobby product.
My Opinions on this airframe The plane itself is a fantastic overall performer. On 4s it is very agile and athletic. If you like high energy and tumbling, it is the best setup. I fly it mostly on 3S, the lighter setup is a bit better suited for low and slow 3D. The plane is surprisingly solid with no wing rock in a harrier and loves most 3D maneuvers. The ailerons are super fast and may need to be toned down for rolling harriers and the like.
INTRODUCTION The Wargo Signature Edge 540T is the next step of my goal to provide a line of perfect 3D and aerobatic training aircraft. I have dedicated a lot of my flying career to teaching 3D aerobatics and helping pilots learn how to become better pilots. I have also dedicated myself to trying to develop the ideal transition and training 3D plane. I am proud to offer you the Wargo Edge 540t.

ASSEMBLY Install the rudder servo as shown. Insert the landing gear and landing gear plate into the slot as shown. Use slow curing CA glue for the strongest bond. Dry fit the main wing set and stabilizer onto the fuselage. Use a straight edge to ensure the measurement for both left and right side of the wing tip to the stabilizer are equal as shown.
Once you are satisfied with the fit and the measurements, apply a few drops of foam safe CA glue to the joints between the fuselage and the wing just to hold them in position. Repeat this process for the horizontal stabilizer. Check the measurements once again to ensure they are correct. If the measurements are correct for both wing and stabilizer, and these are level to each other, you can then apply a foam safe glue to all the joints for a permanent bond.
Use thin foam CA glue to attach the elevator control horn. Install the control horn plate on the other side of the elevator. Install the tailwheel bracket and glue to the rudder as shown. Adjust the rudder so there is a hinge gap of about 1mm space in between. Use a foam safe CA to glue the hinges into both the rudder and vertical fin hinge slots.
Apply foam safe glue to the tailwheel bracket holding plate and glue it to the tail as shown. Connect one of the supplied extension servo leads to an aileron servo and install it into one of the wing servo cut-outs as shown. Adjust the aileron control surface so there is a hinge gap of about 1mm gap in between the aileron and the wing. Use a foam safe CA to glue the hinges into both the wing and aileron control surface hinge slots. Repeat this process for the other wing.
Install the supplied ball link socket to the servo arm as shown. Use a servo controller to adjust your servo arm setting in the neutral position and the pushrod must be positioned perpendicular to the servo arm. Adjust the ball link socket by turning clockwise or anticlockwise to get the aileron control surface level to the wing. Repeat the above steps for the elevator and rudder control surfaces.
Locate the landing gear parts and install the wheel and wheel spats as shown. Glue the foam fairings to the landing gear with foam safe glue, use mini clamps to hold them in position until the glue dries.
Install the side force generators as shown and glue them permanently to the wing tips with foam safe CA glue. Install your preferred power train of motor, ESC and battery as shown.
Test fit the cowling onto the fuselage and install the spinner back-plate and propeller as shown. Align the cowling to the backplate carefully and use tape to secure the cowling to the fuselage. When satisfied with the fit and alignment, use the supplied self-tapping screws to secure the cowling, then fit the spinner cone.
Center of gravity position: 95mm from the wing’s leading edge CG 95mm 13
SETUP TRAVEL SETTINGS Each flight control must be set to its physical limits. This means as far as it will go, but no further than it has to. You set this by selecting the servo, fully deflect the surface with the transmitter, then increase (or occasionally decrease) the percentage to where the flight surface will not travel any further. Then simply back off a click or two and you are done. Then, simply deflect it in the opposite direction and repeat the process.

MODEL FLYING PRECAUTIONS: • Select your flying area carefully. Always choose an open space that is clear and not obstructed by trees, poles, pylons, and buildings etc. Also ensure you are away from people and crowded areas. Avoid flying in areas with roads, near water, or within close proximity to full size air traffic. • Do not fly this model in poor weather, for example: high winds, low visibility, inclement temperatures, and rain and storms are also to be avoided.
TROUBLE SHOOTING: Motors do not run: 1. Battery is not fully charged (charge the battery). 2. Transmitter battery is low (charge or install a fully charged battery). 3. Motors are not connected properly (check the motor to ESC connections and the ESC to battery connections). 4. Receiver is not bound to the transmitter (consult your radio manual and go through the binding procedure). 5.
