PicaRES Evo V2 2m

The Picares Evo V2 has a good reputation in European F3-RES contests. The Picares is a beautiful 2 m all CNC cut balsa wood kit that builds fast and flies superbly. This new version is even lighter than previously, with an enlarged spoiler to ensure accurate landings.

The detailed full size plans include isometric drawings of some details and scale drawings of all the CNC balsa sheets, to make finding the parts easy. The plans include info on converting the model to electric power and on fitting a V tail rather than the Drela-inspired tail surfaces.

The model is well thought out with very nice detail design that does not add unneeded complexity. The parts are beautifully cut from well chosen balsa and ply, and fit together like a jigsaw.

The very complete accessories supplied include magnets, clevises, hinges, horns, and even a firewall for the optional electric conversion. The well illustrated manual is in German and can be understood with the help of Google Translate.
