*Manufactured in the USA!
We know many of you have
gotten used to the EPP foam used for the Weasel over the last few years. In
order to streamline our manufacturing, this particular Weasel model (evo) will
now be available in EPO foam (hybrid polyethylene/polystyrene). For the EPP
aficionados out there, we have a limited number of special
Black
EPP kits remaining that are now available through Dream-Flight.com only. As
a silver lining, know that the new EPO Weasel still offers the same great
performance, a stiffer and more stable airframe, and easier construction than
with EPP (adhesives and paints are easier to apply to EPO). |
KIT
FEATURES:
- Durable molded EPO airframe for fast,
consistent, and easy assembly. Airframes manufactured in the
USA!
- Hatch cover
system allows for quick switch and charging access.
- Thermo-formed
belly skid for landing protection.
- Quick-assembly kit can be built in one evening with little
or no glue. Say goodbye to the taping blues!
- Modular
airframe can be built as one piece for maximum durability or collapsible
with our original magnet lock system for easy travel and storage.
High-Strength magnets included in kit.
-
Hand-selected balsa control surfaces for maximum durability, flight
precision, and easy replacement. Now trimmed and drilled to ease
assembly!
- New wing design
with fully encapsulated carbon-fiber spars and internally routed
fiberglass joiner tube - super clean and aerodynamic!
- Enhanced
inverted flight performance
- Carbon-Fiber
Pushrod System for minimal weight
- Complete
hardware package and decals.
- Detailed
construction manual (of course, if you've built a few of these, you may not
even need it!)

To achieve best performance weight, we do not recommend covering the
EPO airframe with film or tape; however, strategic application of tape can
greatly increase durability. Strapping tape is also recomended for airframe
