THE 2010 MUGI 'EVO'
-------------------------------------
Laser pre-cut parts, and all materials required to get in the air - just add radio and power for a fine glider. Or easily add electric power for a sensational flight envelope and searing performance.
Classic Mugi Evo Kit - precision laser cut from our unique white 2mm twinwall polypropylene. The basic Evo kit is supplied in a strong cardboard box, measuring 420mm square by 48mm thick. The kit (with additional twinwall material) weighs almost 900g wrapped, labelled and ready to post. Sent in the UK by Royal Mail at Packet postal rate. For the EU and the rest of the world the kit is sent by International Airmail Small Packet rate. Exact postage is calculated at the checkout. Airmail does not feature tracking as standard. If you would like to have your parcel tracked, there is a surcharge from the post office of around £4.00. Please let us know via email before ordering and we can adjust your shopping basket to include the surcharge. We always insure these packages.
This is what we hope youv'e been waiting for - the Mugi Evo with a passport!

-
laser cut 2mm twinwall white sheet, ready scored.

folded 800mm span wing with joiner plate
-
500x6x4mm carbon fibre tube wingspar.

self-adhesive A5 size decal sheet.

150x20mm self-adhesive Velcro hook and loop.

ready formed towhook (from metal paper clip).

45mm white plastic safety nose (golf practise ball)

multi page instruction booklet.

some spare white twinwall material

one reel of 48/50mm wide colouring tape (**indicate your colour choice please in the additional information panel on the order form)
Extras - there is some box space left to include sundry accessories from the site shop. Consider including other 25mm coloured tapes but just one of 50mm. Also motor mounts, propellers, ESC and electric motors etc. Even circled around snakes, thin piano wire and carbon rods 2mm diameter or less. Even a 'flattened' SLEC propeller balancer; easily re-assembles.
Beginners -the Mugi Evo is a very tough model and will take the inevitable knocks and initial tumbles when learning. First go to the Multimedia section of this site and load our MugiSim into your personal computer (pc). Try the simulation using just your computer keyboard! You can choose all three common modes to find one that feels comfortable. The simulated model is uncanningly realistic and flies like a real Mugi Evo. Modelled by our in-house technology and computing graduates, the physics, inertia, landscape etc. give you a taste of the action to come. The model can even be coloured in a suitable scheme to taste; visit our complementary site http://www.baawolf.com and follow the directions there. Experiment designing your personal Evo colour scheme; import your finished Evo design into the MugiSim and admire the results. Then order the kit!
In basic form it weighs very little and therefore makes an ideal trainer. There are only TWO channels of (mixed) command needed for basic flight. Don't worry if your radio outfit is basic too. We have a natty little electronic mixer in the site shop (accessories section) to have you quickly flying. With suitable local terrain you can fly the Evo as a slope glider, since this is a straightforward way to learn. However you may not have access to a suitable slope. No matter, in that case we recommend flying off any flat area using our latex elastic as a launch medium. Perhaps fifteen to twenty metres altitude can be gained allowing as many seconds of descent. It's a short duration but your handling skills rapidly improve and each flight has a compulsory landing! In basic form the Evo's low weight (slightly more than an Association football) suits learners. It's toughness is legendary. Select an Evo option below and add the Launch Elastic package from the Accessories section.You just need a battery pack and radio gear to fly. Use our cheap NiMH flat four pack if you have a suitable charger. Even an old 50mA output NiCad charger will suffice initially. Graduate to a third channel giving throttle capability. For initial cheapness use a brushed electric motor. The kit airframe is ready to accept the additional weight. Work up the learning curve and then go electric brushless.
Hangar Box - UK customers can nowl buy the Mugi Evo kit posted enclosed within the popular and tough self-assembly rugged Hangar Box. Weighs overall a shade under 1000g! Two optional 50mm colour tapes can be included within as there is packing space. Simply check your colour choices from the Accessories section. Then let us know the colour(s) you would like on the Additional Information field at the site checkout. The Hangar Box is also available for personal collection at our door by prior arrangement. However it can be posted (Standard Parcel rate) preferably in pairs - the two triangles are temporarily joined back-to-back in a rectangular shape, more likely to survive the rigours of our mechanised postal system. Posted singly the triangle can suffer damage due to the sloppy handling often exhibited by the Royal Mail. We strongly suggest that the paper wrapped package is very carefully examined prior to accepting the delivery. Please keep all wrappings as they are vital evidence in any subsequent claim being made against the carriers.
Please note - the Evo is a very high performance aircraft. We recommend a gentle motor for novice to intermediate pilots. For ultimate performance, we recommend a hot brushless motor and LiPo cells. With this setup the plane is not for the faint hearted!
*To complete the Evo as pictured, black thin electrical insulating tape was added for simple decoration - my standard colour scheme for test flights prior to colour taping. The Warp 3 turn motor is one of my favourites, though pricey and not included in the kit! This nice colour scheme is also ideal for use with a night flying Evo as seen on our Evo Lighting Kit page. Sadly these lighting kits are no longer economic to produce and we have exhausted current stocks. But the new generation of LEDs are very much brighter and work effectively inside our white material. Research is currently (August 2010) being made with a view to introducing the lighting kits again.
