Mirai F3-RES F5-RES 2m

The beautiful Mirai 2m RES glider kit is one of the most rewarding aircraft models for modellers – nothing compares to relaxation flying in weak conditions, circling under clouds and flying quietly in the evenings where you can sit back and watch your elegant model almost fly itself. The Mirai is a built from a nicely CNC cut balsa and ply kit, and is an upgrade from the manufacturer’s previous well acclaimed Circle Dancer 2000 model.

These 2m models, launched using a hi-start and controlled only by rudder, elevator and spoiler have their special competition category, now called F3L, in which is not about showing off, but about flying with similarly like minded model fliers. There is also a category F5-RES for two-meter gliders with electric propulsion.

The Mirai 2m is also ideal for anyone who wants to start building their own model the classic way out of balsa, plywood and spruce. It’s fairly quick and there isn’t much to build – MIRAI is easy model to build, though it’s not suitable for absolute beginners.

The Mirai can be built as a pure glider or as an electric glider, and is available in V tail and conventional X tail versions.
