Hi Adrian, my order arrived on Thursday, all in good order. Just one comment though, take a look at your stocks of the 4.75x4.75 APC props as all 3 that I recieved have the hub holes drilled badly off center. I'm waiting for a prop balancer in order to balance the props but I have a concern as to how well they will balance. On the invoice comments you mentioned using a hefty ESC. What kind of amps does the 3000KV motor pull with the 4.75x4.75 APC props and a 11.1v Lipo? Do I use a 30A ESC , or 40A ESC for safety? You are also right about the good flying areas around Wolfsburg, this area of Nedersachen is flat and VERY open with farmers fields and it is an absolute paradise as far as flying layouts are concerned, much better than back at home in Port Elizabeth in South Africa. Well cheers and keep well. SR............

A 30A ESC will cope and keep cooler directly under the spoon air intake. APC stress the need to balance their propellers.

Hi! thank you for your detailed description and the hints on building! I like the Evo a lot (it's really extremely tough, a friend of mine owns it), and i am very curious about the tea racer, too... ;-) with best regards Christoph. (NE of Stuttgart, Germany)

I'm working on a 50% larger Mugi Evo for EDF. When finished I'd like to add the contents to my website when it is ready and provide a link to the Mugi Evo site. Of course I' want to do this only with your agreement/permission. thanks much, Harold Bickford

Please feel free to go ahead-the Evo is in the public domain. Look in the gallery for Pete's larger Evo (world's biggest) and some large ones on YouTube including the twin EDF in Singapore. Quite a few have tried this with success but EDF is les efficient than standard propeller drive so make power compensations. Also please join the support site http://www.groups.yahoo.com/group/rcmugi/ and put up any photos etc and details. Remember the 820mm design is for a stressed monocoque 2mm twinwall so going larger entails alterations to the details eg:control runs & hinges, spar beefing, servo power etc. But thbere shoulk d be no unresolvable difficulties - go for it!

Just to say thanks for the web site. I am about to embark on building my first slope soarer!!! I dont even know what a leading edge is?? BUT THANKS FOR THE SITE ,

Thanks guys you provide Inspiration, excellent service and high quality spares. your concept of single skin monocoque construction is a war winner, I know, I humped two German rc pilots in rc combat with it! Al T.

I am a Babyboomer new to R/c flying as a hobby and just started flying this year.,with no intention of building a plane ,until I came across your site. I have now seen the light and have purchased all gear ready to give it a go,and feel there will be that much more pleasure building and seeing my creation fly. Many thanks for such an informative site ,which helps feed this R/C addiction Best of luck for the future to you Lad's, Cheers Richard

Thank you very much for this model, I enjoy it ! If you want there are some pictures and a video here : http://camisoleairlines.blogspot.com/2007_03_21_archive.html Regards

Sly, thanks for your comments and the awesome link. Your video is fabulous - the 6V Speed 400 setup goes really well on the 3S Lipo!

keep up the good work ,mugis are cool cheap,quick to build and they bounce quite good too . 1st one i built was made from a halifax forsale sign ,a bit heavy on the gsm but the sc25 engine kept it in the air as long as it didnt drop below 70mph .thanks for the fun,simplicity,cheapest and best models i've had ..

Fantastic kit, easy to build and very well prepared and planed. flies extreemly well as a glider could not be happier, many thanks, keep up the good work. I would not hesitate recomending the evo to anyone,

I wish to inform you that I had tremendous success building your Mugi Evo following your instructions as described on your wonderful site! I bought the materials in the morning, built the Mugi Evo in 3 hours and maidened it in the evening! I have just returned from the maiden flight and I must say that I'm terribly impressed with this little wonder! I'm going to spread the word around the Singapore RC community! I'm now a Mugi Evo believer!

when flying with the wind do i have to use down elevator to keep ascending.

Mugi Reply:

In 'elevator' lift conditions yes some down needed to reduce the lift, could ballast but trimming on the sticks is better. I have flown the basic Evo in 60kts @ 530g AUW with fight to keep out in front and not in the clouds; alternative is fly it inverted instead-good training anyhow.

Thank you for introducing me to the EVO. It is an interesting design and I have one well on the way to completion. The plans are easy to follow. I appreciate your contribution to model flying. Don

Pleased you like the simplicity though over forty prototypes thrashed out the concept prior to internet release. Please join the forum and upload your pictures on http:/www.groups.yahoo.com/group/rcmugi/

just one last point, some sort of wire, correx etc underneath to save the pop would be an idea. I added one to mine as I have found this sort of design tends to either break props or bend motor shafts.

Mugi Reply:

Use one of our prop-savers; adding surplus weight exacerbates the encounter, KISS philosophy better as is flying always an inch higher!

From:

Scott Dunkley - 06/03/06

Sweet little plane, maidened mine at the weekend and flew great. Needed a bit of weight up front due to using lighter batteries and I would ship nylocs for the control horn connections from the push rods as mine came off in flight and full speed dive and caused a nose down crash at full speed. Damage ZERO!!!! but apart from that excellent model. Build was easy and quick, instructions were very accurate, very strong......highly recommended!!!!

Mugi Reply:

All Mugi Evos use a particular Radio-Active manufactured small ball joint bolted onto the horn both for security, slop-free motion and perfectly accommodating the differing angles involved.

Having built a mugi from the old information I revisited the web site to find out how to add a bungee hook which I believed to have been included in the the old plans and I see that it is included in the kit is it possible to include the method in the mugi evo instruction as not all of us I would think are using it as a powered model. I built mine from the black packing that the 2mm correx came protected in so it is somewhat heavy. Early flights from a slope site in south Wales have shown that at the weight it needs quite a blow but will continue to fly this one until time permits a lighter version. I changed the servo mounting to just cutting a hole in the upper wing surface and using the screws that came with the servo screwed through the correx and into a small ply backing piece seems to work well. The servos are from the servo shop (Xiangyu) Micro servo 10 for 30 odd pounds

Went flying my learner craft today, been flying a month or so. Met some old guy with a plane made out of 'cardboard'. It looked ace and flew real well!! He told me it was a 'Mugi' and that you had a website... Just found your site and wanted to leave some positive feedback :-) I tried getting into R/C planes about 15 years ago when I was 13. I never made it because of the cost!! But to see the Mugi fly, and how amazingly easy (and cheap) it is to get such a great plane up and running blew me away!! Good on ya mate! I'll be buying one of your kits and will enjoy taking my revisited hobby to the next level very soon :-) Keep it up!! Steve
