Title: NEW MicroAces replica kits of historic aircraft
Post by: DominicM on August 15, 2016, 12:19:00 PM
Met Jon of MicroAces for an early morning demo of his new range of models. These aren't just your standard indoor depron models. An immense amount of design effort has gone into these to make them, not only stunning in the air, but durable due to the clever additional flexible parts to make them more durable and crash proof. The receiver board and motor are taken from Parkzone micro models so these are a great for allowing you to reuse parts from those crashed models we've had from previous indoor seasons. Couple more flight videos to come and a build video to show how easy they are to assemble. You can find the full range on www.MicroAces.com

Featured in this vid is the Bristol F2b S.No. B1228 'Brisfish'. To be released in September...
