Have been flying mine for a few months now...

Was flying with Scorpion 3008-32 motor and 11x5,5 or 12x6 APC style props. Had to change wheels to fit a 12x6 prop. Prop seems weird compared to plane size, but its been fun.

Its heavy for 3D, so I changed to a higher kV motor, Scorpion SK 35-30 1400kV and 9x6E prop, NOW its a blast to fly, motor fits PERFECTLY and great for high speed aerobatics. 5 stars for the fun!!

HK Edge 540T 10e

Nov 14, 2007

Beautiful Plane and it flies very well. I was surprised how well this small plane flies. :)

I'm using the Turnigy 2217/16 and from the power point of view this motor is enough (at least for me ), it produces 200W, but to mount this motor some work has to be done.

With this Motor I'm (re)using a 40A BESC, a 10x5 prop and my 2500 mAh Batteries are good for 15 Minutes (+) flight. Vertical is pretty much unlimited :)

The 40A BESC is not really needed since the 2217/16 takes around max 19A out of the Battery.

I'm using the Vigor VTS05A Servos and to mount these some modification need to be done because they are slightly too big to fit without modification.

There was one minor issue with the canopy, a small modification was needed to make it fit into the connector in the front.

The landing gear mount is weak.



The HK Edge 540T 10e is really a beauty, I love it. It's easy to fly but I would not recommend to beginners.

HK Edge great value

Nov 14, 2007

Great value plane, a few minor issues were the wing spar connector had a bit of movement causing wings to flex, easily fixed by making a new one slightly bigger with 3mm ply. Cable ties were a better option that the rubber bands to hold them to the plane.

TR35-30c is a perfect fit with heaps of power on a 10x7apc.

Good work UH

Nice quality and nice flying

Nov 14, 2007

Maiden flight last weekend.

Impressive quality, easy to build, nice flying.

DEFINITELY NOT A BEGGINER PLANE.

Using 4 HXT900 servos, Berg 4L receiver, KD A22-15M motor, Turnigy 25A ESC and 2200mAh 3S 20C HXT lipos.

Good power with 10x5 prop, but had to slide battery all the way to the front next to the motor to get the suggested CG. Motor mount for A22-15M is to small, had to improve a diferent firewall.

Just ordered a heavier motor, easier CG with the new motor and more power!

Will use a KD 36-16M with 11x5.5 prop and 40A esc. Heavier tough, will see what happens.



5 stars to the plane. Get a KD motor and you won't be disapointed.

HK Edge 540T 10e ARF

Nov 14, 2007

Processing time was quite long about 6days, shipping by ems was fast, 3days and it arrive my doorstep.

The box was nicely packed, no damages on the plane.Covering colour was abit different.Actual colour look darker.

All parts fitted nicely, cowling matches the fuse perfectly.



Set up as follow:

-TR C3530-1100kv with SF11x4.7

-Turnigy Plush 40A ESC

-4x HS65HB,need abit of trimming to the servo well

-Polyquest 1800 20C 3S

-AUW about 720gr



Static test, the plane will hold a hover at about 1/2throttle, punch out is fantastic.



Things to take note:

The instruction that came was not very clear and be sure to check every step carefully.

The motor mount was design for C35 series motor not C28/2217, choose your motor correctly

Take note on assembling the tail section, slot the elevator then the horz stab carefully.



Overall a nice kit, value for money. However some improvement is needed, therefore only 4 stars.
