I have assembled a lot of balsa 3D aerobatic RC aeroplanes over the years and I have never seen ARFs that look this good. The attention to detail is quite amazing. The internal structures inside the fuselage and wings add rigidity and lowest possible weight and the covering is applied to perfection. All the hardware is provided in the kit and some clever design features means this Edge 540 goes together relatively quickly. For example, I really like how the horizontal stabiliser is guided into place so you don't have to worry about it being square to the fuselage. No film to remove. You just need to apply some 5 minute epoxy to ensure it stays in place.
The recommended SunnySky power system including motor, ESC and Eolo propellor are a perfect match for the airframe as can be seen in the video. With a good 6S4000 flight pack you have the power you need for high speed passes and pushing out of low level aerobatics should you need it.
On this first flight I was having some gentle fun after trimming it out for level flight...and then my fellow club mate Steve asked if he could have a go. I have shown some of Steve's extreme 3D flying in the past so had complete trust in his ability to show what this Edge 540 can really do. Even without maximum physical elevator and rudder throws he did an awesome job !

The Edge 54o is amazing. I hope Omp comes out with a Laser or an Extra or Anything really, in a 6o inch so I can buy another

[@brianchamberlain9630]

Thanks for This! What nice Quality!

[@mikebird8290]

AMAZING plane thanks for sharing Sir 🇬🇧👍🏼

[@EssentialRC]

My pleasure Mike!

[@thomasshelley4617]

The skill to grab an unfamiliar plane and toss it around like that is amazing

[@EssentialRC]

Yeah...crazy. I was kinda doing the sensible maiden flight thing, trimmed out, a knife edge, a high hover...and then Steve does that !?

[@mustangtonto5862]

BUT, it was not HIS plane = nothing for him to lose. Except maybe a friend!

[@EssentialRC]

@@mustangtonto5862 Hmmm. I don't think he was thinking that. He was still well within his limits. I have seen him fly much harder aggressive 3D than that.

[@markshank8158]

@@EssentialRC Yeah, you trimmed it out. Then he showed off with it. Looks like my kinda fun though. OMP makes excellent models.

[@restugw9804]

Wow amazing , the best quality 😍👍

[@EssentialRC]

Glad you think so!

[@Coops777]

That's a really nice plane. Very good quality. Thanks for the video Dom

[@EssentialRC]

Thanks for watching David!

[@alwaysflying6540]

I came across this video again in my playlist. Omp if you are listening we want another aerbatic plane in this size!!!

[@EssentialRC]

100%. Personally I'm hoping for a larger Super Decathlon 🙏

[@alwaysflying6540]

@Essential RC Anything. Just more airplanes!!

[@andre-dx4yw]

i have one of these in a different colour, very recent purchase. i notice you said manual but these planes dont come with a manual yet and i couldnt find anywhere to download one, im a bit worried about throws as im a sport flyer not a 3d flyer and i want to dumb down the elevator throw, i have the aileron ok, but on maiden the elevator was really twitchy, similar to yours on take off any advice much appreciated, also how did you fix the 2 bits that go from landing gear struts to fuse did you just glue them? great flying demo its a superb plane. cheers

[@TamiamiParkFlyers]

Excellent Video. I like this one better than the Extreme Flight!

[@EssentialRC]

Thanks a lot!

[@alwaysflying6540]

I have one of these, Without a doubt, it's one if not the best I've ever owned

[@EssentialRC]

All the OMP Hobby planes are outstanding 👌

[@michelpetrus]

Neat

[@carlbrain3758]

Lovely model. Looked a little nose heavy though. I fly my 60 inch span Extreme flight slick on a 6s 3300. Do love the attention to detail and all the little touches on this model though. It's as if they've looked at the extreme flight version and thought ok lovely model but what things are annoying. And they've addressed them all. Servo wire holding. Easy wing fitting. Brilliant 👏

[@millerrc5829]

Extreme flight now has quick wing release as well now and IMO a better design to than this.

[@michaelkrailo5725]

@@millerrc5829 what exactly makes it a better design? The only thing I see with these quick releases is more weight than thumb screws. So if they could make those quick releases lighter, that would be good.

[@millerrc5829]

@@michaelkrailo5725 I’m kinda in your same boat I don’t really like a quick wing release system in anything smaller than 60in, because it will most likely fit in most cars assembled. I will say it’s pretty nice to have when you do have to take the wings off. I like EF’s quick wing releases better cause no matter how much you lock and unlock em they won’t wear out. where OMP,s I would think that if you used it many times that the nylon tab they use could potentially wear out and make it feel loose. And if that were to happen I don’t know if they sell the nylon tabs separately or not. My opinion though thanks.

@@Jay-zc7iq Appreciate that. It's less than the price of a cup of coffee per month and you get so much more. Thanks again for your support.

@@EssentialRC that’s it I know it takes a lot of time to make videos edit ect but know your appreciated, will get the misses to do it later thanks again

[@michaelkrailo5725]

I'm waiting for this to get back in stock in the USA, until then I'll just have to watch video's of it.

[@EssentialRC]

Worth the wait I'd say 😉

[@bhgant813]

In stock at BuddyRC but I can’t justify the $700 price tag when you can get an Extreme Flight for less and with much better support.

[@stephenrout9025]

hi where did you CG? I have been trying middle of the wing tube, but it seems tail heavy 6s 4000

[@EssentialRC]

Third of chord at the root of the wing or further back. Depends how you want to fly it.

[@stephenrout9025]

@@EssentialRC thanks im not a 3d flyer plane looks so good

[@russcole5685]

Is there an option to power this model with a gas or glow engine

[@EssentialRC]

No. This is designed and built light for electric power. The 74" and 106" are for electric/gas iactiverc.com/collections/planes/products/omphobby-74-edge-540-kevlar-reinforced-balsa-3d-airplane-arf

Nice Plane. What servos are you using?

[@EssentialRC]

Using Savox SV-1260MG.

[@2.4g-rc]

@@EssentialRC What sero arms did you use? Cheers.

[@EssentialRC]

@@2.4g-rc Stock servo arms that came with the servos

[@2.4g-rc]

@@EssentialRC Thanks

[@EssentialRC]

@@2.4g-rc Just to add that you do get some over arms in the kit that, when fitted to the stock arms, give you the large throws on the control surfaces that you need for 3D. I'm fitting those soon.

[@patrickhoyle8357]

I just couldn't live with the name blazened all over it, first time I've heard of them and obviously good quality but need a name change. Call me a snob but omp hobby just rings cheap. Think of all the high end brands of life's quality goods, they all have a good sounding . OMP ????? HOBBY, yes it's a hobby but I don't want the word on the plane
