Ridge Runt Evo
- Thread starter Wayne
- Start date
Two piece wing and removable tail make this a 'travel in a small box' very portable plane. Ideal to just leave in the trunk. A thinner stronger wing for wider speed range would be a bonus. Two servo wing for airbrake facility too.
The kit is a 1 piece wing, but far thinner and far more acrobatic with a removable horizontal. I'd dare to say she is harmonious in her flight controls, just feels well balanced and urges me to fly her into some low level acro. I find her very enjoyable. More than I would have thought possible for her cosmetics.

We've reached the final stage, guys—ready to start production! Are you interested in placing a pre-order and receiving your kit in the first shipment as soon as it's ready to ship? If so, let me know, and I'll create the listing for purchase.

We have been refining and testing and refining. We are now in full production of the first round of kits. We will be shipping out the first units pretty soon, and will be writing the manual at the sametime. Since we like to use live manuals, you all will be able to see as we add to the manual. And your feedback will be able to be added should you find errors or better approaches.
We try to write our manuals for someone that has never built before. I think this will probably be the case for some folks building the Ridge Runt Evo.
We are looking forward to seeing your runts going together and hearing about your flights.

Be sure to use the discount code: evo4me to save big for our initial batch.
We are still working on the instruction manual, and just need to grab some of the hardware at lunch and the kits are ready to go.

This is a Pre-Buy - Kits will ship VERY soon. (approx. Mar 7th) The original Ridge Runt is a slope classic. It had good looks and was dirt cheap, always a great recipe. But there was a big issue, they didn't fly all that well. I don't recall why we picked the Ridge Runt for a redesign, but I am...

Really looking forward to seeing a bunch of these flying at Sunset. What I thought was going to be a dirt simple project sort of escalated as they always do. It has been a lot of fun, and I'm excited to set them free of the world. For sure will be using these methods on future projects.
