I've been wanting to improve my flying skills and needed an aerobatic model.
Decided to build an Edge 540T using Coroplast (means I can bash it around, without worrying about crashing  )

Proposed Specs:
Wingspan        :  42 inches
Length            :  42 inches
Expected AUW :  1000-1100g

Motor              :  Turnigy SK3 3536 1050kv with a 11x5.5 or a 12x6 prop
ESC                 :  Turnigy Plush 40A
Battery            :  2200mah 3-cell 20C Lipo


Here Goes.

Wing Cut out.

I am using 3mm coro to make the Wing.

Ailerons Cut out.

Ailerons made using doubled 3mm coro.

Nice, Maahin. Good luck 

I am really looking forward to this build. Then I will swipe it off you and you can build another one.. ...Great work

Subscribed all the way here from Namibia. please update as much as possible. :-)

I felt the Ailerons were very stiff and not wanting to overload the servo, I cut a few slots in the hinges.

Vertical Stab/Rudder
Made using doubled 3mm Coro

Horizontal Stab/Elevator
Again, made using doubled 3mm coro

Maahin - the part of the Horizontal stab aftward on the side of the elevator is prone to bending

Put a reinforcement on it

Sanjay sir,

I have seen u always advice other hobby person  for correcting their rc models

it means u have deep knowledge of rc plane building

i am also interested in rc plane building

kindly tell from where u have got / learn this knowledge

from any institute or self learning

kp

Kamal, I am a Mechanical Engineer by profession, and a hobbyist by passion. I am also old enough to have made loads of mistakes, some of which I have learnt from 

As wise Dumbledore said, ''I make mistakes like any other person; in fact, being considerably more intelligent my mistakes are correspondingly greater''

Now, let's not hijack Maahin's thread. Observe, think, practice - that's the way

Wise words by Sanjay sir 

@Sanjay Sir
I didn't get what you are trying to say
Are you referring to the counterbalance?

Maahin, just what I said. The elevator is cut out from the Horizontal Stab, leaving 2 thin strips at the back. These need reinforcement or they will 'flutter'

Wing cut out

Spar Glued
Servo Mount Cut out

Servo Mount Reinforced
Wing cut to shape
Wing Glued and ready

Everyone's waiting for the video....

I know you had a bad videographer, still.....
