- Page 3 In the long hardware bag, find and install the 36” x 0.156” carbon tube into the wing slot. Find the 6” x 0.156” carbon tube and install into the stabilizer to insure their fit. Run a bead of RC-Xplanes Thin Odorless CA down both sides of the wing and stabilizer spars.
- Page 4 Take four of the Lexan “Ls” and align them as shown in the left picture over the cutouts in the foam for the mounting nuts. Hold the “Ls” one at a time in place and float a drop or two of thin RC-Xplanes foam safe CA along the edges of the Lexan allowing the CA to travel between the foam and the Lexan.
- Page 5 RC-Xplanes EDGE 540 T Outrunner Tabs Instruction Manual This is my gluing jig and as you can see is not very high tech. It is two lengths of 2X6 board on a surface that will keep them parallel. It doesn't take much. Loosely install the stabilizer and the wing with the spars toward the bottom of the fuselage. The tabs in the wing that are farthest apart will be on the leading edge of the wing.
- Page 6 Start by lining up the narrow end of the 45 Degree Support with the stabilizer trailing edge. Use thin, foam safe RC-Xplanes CA to tack glue about 1" of the support at the rear aligned with the stabilizer trailing edge, 1” at the wing trailing edge and 1” at the front end on the fuselage and 90 degree supports.

Page 7: Step 6: Control Surface Hinging
Do not get the lubricant on any of the hinge that you want adhesive to stick. Repeat this for all of the hinges. Use RC-Xplanes 5 minute epoxy to mount the hinges into the control surface. This step requires that you move quickly to distribute the epoxy before it sets up. - Page 8 This will be your visual reference when installing the servo mounts to the wing and represent the servos position. The last picture shows the installed right wing servo mount. Run a bead of medium RC-Xplanes CA around the surface of the servo mount that will mate to the wing.
- Page 9 RC-Xplanes EDGE 540 T Outrunner Tabs Instruction Manual Prepare four servos as shown. Start with a fresh model memory in your radio if possible. Zero all trims and sub trims. Center all of your servos with your radio for each channel and mark the servos for that channel. Use the long double-sided arms with the largest holes if you are using HiTec HS55s.
