The Pilot RC EDGE 540 V3 75" is a modern 30–40cc aerobatic ARF aircraft developed by Pilot-RC for outstanding precision and 3D performance.
Inspired by the full-size EDGE 540 V3, the model combines modern aesthetics with an aerodynamically refined design, reinforced hybrid construction and Pilot-RC's quick-assembly system. The airframe is designed around popular 30–40cc engines including the DLE35, DA35 and GP38.
With its highly prefabricated construction and carefully engineered features, the EDGE 540 V3 is designed for pilots looking for a serious aerobatic platform for both precision and 3D flying.
