Description

 

Scott Stoops has delivered another outstanding Edge 540 design, this time in 74" wingspan for 26-35CC gas or 6S-8S Electric power, or even 1.50-2.10 glow. 

This Edge takes its styling cues from the awesome pylon racing Edges of the last few seasons, but its aerodynamics are optimized for aerobatics and post-stall 3D flight. All of the features pilots have come to expect a Stoops design: low coupling, excellent harrier, crisp precision - they are all here in a fantastic looking and easy-to-assemble package.

The Edge uses 4 full size metal gear servos, plus a throttle servo if needed. A second elevator servo may also be installed to balance a very heavy gasoline engine. All ball-link hardware is included, along with carbon landing gear attached to a fiberglass/carbon reinforced plate, wing bags, genuine ultracote covering, carbon wing tube, locking hatch latch, carbon-reinforced fuselage, aluminum axles, carbon tail wheel, and more.
For gas power, the 74" Edge is set up for the DLE-30 engine, and includes a firewall-drilling template for that engine and uses the standoffs included with the latest version of the DLE-30 engine. If you are not using a DLE-30, you will have to supply the correct length standoffs and drill your firewall accordingly for your particular engine.
We recommend the DLE-30 Rear-Carb engine for this aircraft, with a 20x6 (or Vess 19A or 20A) prop.
The 74" Edge includes a generic fuel tank, but the American-made Fortitude Fuel Tank is the best in the world and is a highly recommended upgrade.
 
Center of Gravity range: 4.5" - 5.25", measured at the wing root.

74" Edge
  Look.... I spent a ton of money on a lot of planes... Want to buy them?... All I will ever fly now is the 3DHS Planes. Love My 74" !!! Just get it right the first time with the whole set up and never have to buy another plane again.... Except the need to want each 3DHS plane like me! It really is super Awesome! Finally I have my cake and I am eating it too!

The 74" Edge is a must have plane!
  I have been trying several 30cc size planes and the 71inch Slick has been the best plane of this size until I made the leap into the 74” Edge. On the test flight I felt so comfortable that low harriers, rolling harriers, and hovering was not a question. What I like about this plane vs. other planes is how it flies like a much larger plane, and the amazing tail authority it has. Nice crisp walls and waterfalls are effortless. I would recommend that this plane is a must have in the hangar!
