The Phoenix Model EDGE 540 74" ARF V2 (PH244) is a high-performance aerobatic RC aircraft designed for pilots who want extreme 3D capability combined with precise aerobatic control. Inspired by the legendary full-scale Edge 540, this 74-inch model delivers outstanding power-to-weight performance and excellent stability across the entire flight envelope.

Constructed from premium balsa and plywood reinforced with composite materials, the EDGE 540 achieves a strong yet lightweight airframe ideal for aggressive aerobatics. The model is finished in durable genuine polyester covering film, providing vibrant colours and long-lasting durability.

The ARF kit includes factory-painted carbon fibre landing gear, spinner, and fibreglass components, giving the model a professional finish straight out of the box. A Smart Lock plug-in wing system allows quick assembly and easy transport, while the removable canopy provides simple access for battery changes or radio setup.

Designed for flexibility, the EDGE 540 74" supports both petrol and electric power systems, allowing pilots to configure the aircraft with either a 35–38cc petrol engine or a high-performance electric setup.

With powerful control surfaces, precise handling, and excellent structural design, the Phoenix Model EDGE 540 is ideal for pilots who enjoy high-energy aerobatics, hovering, torque rolls, and precision manoeuvres.
