Looking to set yourself apart from the flock? If you are a slope aficionado, R/C collector, or simply a Weasel fanatic, then this kit is a must have! We've taken the classic Wevo kit and added a few twists to make it extra special for the diehard Weasel connoiseur. These are the LAST Weasel-evo EPP airframes that will be available through dream-flight.com, since the standard kit will now be available in EPO foam only. There are only a limited number of these available, so get yours before we run out!

The limited edition kit features the following:

» Limited edition BLACK precision-molded EPP airframe (standard kit is white EPO). We find that this black airframe hides dirt and scuff marks better, and to boot, it simply looks striking!

» Pre-cut and drilled balsa control surfaces for ultra quick assembly.

» Includes "Axis of Weasel" cut vinyl decal pack.

Glider designed by Michael Richter, 2009» Includes spare plastic belly skid

» Each airframe is individually hand-signed by the designer, Michael Richter.

» Packaged in Dream-Flight's trademark blue box.

» Only available through Dream-Flight.com !
