The Edge 540 is one of the most iconic aerobatic aircraft designs, known for its exceptional agility, precision handling and powerful 3D capabilities. The Phoenix Model Edge 540 V3 67" ARF V2 brings these characteristics to RC pilots with a large, lightweight and extremely capable aerobatic model designed for both electric and petrol power setups.

With a 1700mm wingspan and composite-reinforced balsa and plywood construction, the airframe provides an ideal balance of strength, rigidity and low weight. This allows the aircraft to perform both smooth precision aerobatics and aggressive 3D manoeuvres, including harriers, torque rolls, knife-edge flight and hovering.

The aircraft features plug-in wings with the Smart Lock system, allowing quick assembly at the field and easy transport. A removable canopy and removable horizontal stabiliser make installation and maintenance of electronics simple and convenient.

Premium components such as carbon fibre main landing gear, tail gear and spinner, along with factory-painted fibreglass cowling and wheel pants, give the model excellent durability and a high-quality finish. Precision control is ensured through ball link control systems and hexagonal metal pushrods, providing smooth and accurate servo response.

Whether powered by a 20–26cc petrol engine or a high-performance 6S electric setup, the Phoenix Model Edge 540 V3 delivers powerful aerobatic performance and impressive presence in the air, making it an excellent choice for experienced RC pilots.
