Thank you for purchasing this Microaces Aero Kit. Designed using innovative ideas, 

advanced materials and detailed aircraft illustrations, this aircraft will bring you hours 

of building enjoyment and many more exciting flying hours too. Please take your time 

to familiarise yourself with these instructions as the aircraft assembles in a very unique 

way, following a sequence of steps that should be adhered too to ensure a satisfactory 

and flyable model.

It is extremely important to us that you and those around you remain safe while building 

and flying Microaces kits. Please take note of the following notices of safety. Microaces

component parts or packaging of this kit. Although the resulting model is lightweight, 

we DON’T recommend that you fly it near or over others where there is a danger of 

striking someone. We DO recommend that the maiden flight is performed over long 

grass in calm weather away from others.

Read all the instructions carefully before starting assembly.

It is important to use the recommended glues or an equivalent with similar properties. 

Foam parts must be glued with a foam safe cement or permanent damage can result to 

components. Ensure your knife has a fresh or sharp blade installed to ensure a clean 

cut.
