Ultra RC is proud to release our second 2-meter Pattern Plane ARF, the "Evolution". Based on the success of the Icepoint and our 29% Giles, as well as suggestions from you, our customers, the Evolution has been born. The Evolution features two-piece wings and stabs, a traditional firewall structure to accept the popular Hyde engine mount or equivalent, a molded one-piece canopy / hatch assembly, and a one-piece fiberglass cowl. This design is part of our "UL" - Ultra-Lite Series and incorporates our "State-of-the-Arf - Revolutionary" construction techniques as seen in todays "High-End" competition designs which are now available in economical, traditional, "built-up" balsa and ply construction.
For the Electric Modelers: This plane was designed with you in mind. Order the "E"-version, otherwise known as the "E-Evolution" and we will send you an eclectic motor mount designed for Hacker C-50 motors. This motor mount is made from precision laser cut ply, with a composite firewall mounting plate for the motor. Two air ducts are built into the mount which allow air from the cowl ducts to flow directly over the motor providing excellent cooling. Also included in the "E"-version is a custom battery mounting tray which makes for easy installation and removal of the batteries from the bottom of the fuse in the tuned pipe tunnel. The tray is removable with one screw and the location allows for excellent cooling of the batteries.
Whether you are a pattern flyer or an everyday sport flyer the Evolution is the right choice for you. The Evolution provides a cost effective alternative to the more expensive competition and artistic freestyle type designs.
The Evolution is very light providing excellent stability and precision flight. Knife edge flight is excellent with very little (if any) coupling required.
We tested this model with the OS 1.60 which provided excellent and unlimited vertical performance. This plane is feature packed. View the features below.
