This is the Edge 540 ARF from Hangar 9.  It's my first ARF and I
must say I don't miss the long building hours of kits.  However, ARF
planes are not without defects.  This one for example has misleading
instructions all over the place, and their method of hooking up the elevator
with a square dowl and two flexible rods is a bad idea.

I installed two servos in the tail just under the horizontal stab to control
the elevator halves.  I did, however, like the pull-pull rudder system included
with the airplane.

I had these would-be pilots laying around after they sold the Cessna 182, so I decided
to give them a thrill.  Well, okay, so maybe just Ken gets the thrill for now :)
