THE AIR SHOW ACE IS NOW A STRIKING ELECTRIC!

An all-electric version of the popular Edge 540 aerobat is finally here! The looks are realistic and the performance can be anything a pilot wants. With low throws, it's a fun sport flier - stable and forgiving at low speeds. Dial up the throws and give it more power and the Great Planes ElectriFly Edge 540 becomes a precision pattern plane or exciting aerial adventure-seeker or extreme 3D thrill ride! Perhaps best of all, it comes in a park flyer that's sized right for easy transportation and small-field flying. A low parts count and easy final assembly combine to make the electric Edge 540 ready for its first flight in as little as 4-6 hours. External servo mounts simplify installation, with the added benefit of shorter linkages for faster, stronger response on demand. An extensive, high-quality hardware package - including a spinner and adjustable servo linkages - comes with the Edge 540. And - it's expertly covered in MonoKote®!

• The 2-piece wing design is a common convenience on larger airplanes but an unexpected extra on the Edge 540. Wing panels slide onto a carbon fiber joiner tube and attach with a single screw.
• A strong built-up mount is already in place for installing a RimFire motor. Out-runner brushless power eliminates the need for a gear drive, which makes the Edge 540 lighter and less expensive to equip.
• The trim scheme is distinctive, original and done in professionally applied MonoKote® film. The fiberglass cowl, ABS wheel pants and aluminum gear are already painted and ready to install.
• The cowl installs easily with powerful rare-earth magnets, leaving the plane's bold, clean lines unmarked and intact.
• No tools are required to access the roomy battery compartment. Magnets make hatch removal and replacement easy.
