Friends,

I wanted to share the build of my first 3D airplane - Edge 540 - a profile plane

Plans taken from here : http://www.3dfoamy.com/plans//Edge540_Plans_D_Tiled.pdf

Will use 3 9 Gm servos : One for ailerons, rudder and elevator.
2212-1200kv Emaxx motor.
9x6 prop.
2200mah 3S Lipo

what size are you planning to build ?
asked because the 2200's look a bit bulky for a average sized profiler

I dont have any other Lipo... so will have to use it.. The size of plane will be exactly as in the plans.

If I remember correctly it was only 1300-1600mah 3S recommended. 2200mah too bulky.

Printed the tiled plan on to A4 and stuck them together.
Ensured the scale was correct.

Then started the build with the fuse - Very very easy. Traced on to some HD thermacole sheet and cut out with a knife...

Thanks sir. Will borrow a smaller battery from Gaurav sir to use.

Will use HobbyKing 9gm servos. Pushrod will be 2mm solid CF rods.

WIll make the wing removable to help in carying.
