00:00Hi guys, welcome to one of the Paul Bennett Airshows hangars here at the Hunter Valley.

00:15I've been asked quite a bit to explain the aeroplane that I fly behind me, which is the

00:20Zyfco Edge 540.

00:21So I'm just going to give you a little bit of a tour about it and what I like about it.

00:26So this particular Edge 540 was purchased last year by Paul Bennett, come from Hungary.

00:32It's a 1998 model, serial number 20.

00:35Now it's not the latest aerobatic aircraft, but it is one of the highest performing aerobatic

00:39aeroplanes in the world still today.

00:42This particular aeroplane had a full rebuild and only had five hours on it when it got

00:46into Paul's hands.

00:48Looking over this aeroplane, what I like about it most is it's got a Hartzell claw propeller.

00:54We believe Hartzell claws are the best propellers for aerobatic aircraft with this type of engine

00:58combination.

01:00Looking at the engine, it's built by Lycon, our friends at Lycon.

01:03Now this particular engine was the original engine that was in the Wolf Hits Pro, so it's

01:08a 400 horsepower engine.

01:10And overall the aircraft only weighs 520 kilos, so it gives a really great power to weight

01:16ratio.

01:17So another feature I really like about this aeroplane is the wing, it's a full carbon

01:21fibre wing.
