With a typical combat launch from the famous Allen DeVeuve, the Electric Edge 540 Combat plane flies! As expected at
37oz it is not a real barn burner but it will fly combat after some fine
tuning. The best speed I could get with available props was 68mph no streamer (7.75
sec for 2 laps) and the battery was only good for 3 minutes. I ran a 6S 1550mAh pack, 3548 900KV motor, 75
amp ESC, and a scimitar 9x5 prop at about 15000rpm. After reevaluating the set up there may be
room to get to 75 for a little over 3 minutes. Over all I am happy with the
look of the plane and that the electrics are getting some interest – but they
have a long way to go before they will be flying heads up with a .25ci nitro
plane. Lookout for the nitro version on your 6 in about 3 months, I need a break...
PS I moved the CG back on the FW190 - watch out for that one...
