Description

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.

first upon arriving I was amazed by the beautiful wood but disappointed by the lack of instructions and been looking at the images and figuring it out slowly wish I spent more on something more well known my other modelers. needs better instructions

Mirai F3-RES

I built the cross tail, I also built the Cloud Dancer the mirai has a longer nose for better balance with less nose rterweight. The twin spoilers also gives better yaw control when deployed.Since the build is lighter than the cloud dancer the crank in the tail boom is needed for down thrust. The plans need to have more detail and clarification utter wise I would given it a 5 star rating. Model weight 14.5oz vs 17 for cloud dancer.

MIRAI Electro

Purchased this as the V-tail option which I powered with a DYS 2225-13 motor and 28A ESC. The build is complicated by not having part numbers on the V-tail Option plan so the manual was equally cryptic. The wing joiner boxes are simple to build but took the most time. The motor fit is straight forward with holes pre-drilled to suit my DYS motor. The V-tail is correctly sized and responds well. I put my tail servos under the wing as per plan and the RX in the front compartment. The CofG came out at 78mm with a 550mAh GNB lipo for power. Flying weight is 488gms. Performance in light winds has been excellent and responds well to lift. The model deserves 5 star rating but is let down by documentation.
