From 2022 this kit NOW INCLUDES... This Microaces kit is now supplied 'as standard' with the recommended brushless motor and propeller and a 1.7g rotary aileron servo. So to complete the kit for radio controlled flight, you will just need a Brushless Receiver that's compatible with your transmitter and two additional 1.7g servos for the tail feathers. For this requirement, we have created the 1S Brushless Electronics Pack. Selecting the 1S Brushless Electronics Pack to complete your kit: The Microaces 1S Brushless receiver is available with the following protocols. If unsure, check your transmitter instruction manual to find out which protocol(s) it uses. Then select the compatible receiver protocol below to view the appropriate receiver to add to your order.

Making History Microaces love of aviation history ensures that the aircraft we reproduce as kits look fantastic on static display as well as in the air. The Microaces Albatros D.V kit replicates one of the most memorable German fighters of WWI. Manufactured by Albatros Flugzeugwerke in 1917, the D.V was the last of the line of the 'D' series aircraft with the D.Va continuing in service until the end of the war. The livery of this particular Albatros D.V is that of Paul Bäumer, nicknamed the 'Iron Eagle' whose final tally of 43 victories, ranked him 9th among German aces. He was also one of only a handful of WWI pilots whose lives were saved by parachute deployment during the conflict. Upscale This kit is Microaces first in 1/20th scale. The increase from our usual 1/24th has enabled us to re-create the beautiful oval cigar shape of the Albatros fuselage as well as enhance the details and structures to be even more like the full scale aircraft, without compromising on scale performance in the air. And a swathe of high resolution 3D printing, to reproduce engine parts and weaponry, elevates this kit to an even higher level of scale than you have been used to with Microaces models. Tyvek The contours of the sleek fuselage are made possible with the use of Tyvek. More often used in packaging and construction, Tyvek is an extremely strong paper like material made from plastic fibres, making it light weight, printable, chemically resistant so; fantastic for a kit making application. Brushless Another leap forward, that is embraced by this kit, is the use of a Brushless Motor and supporting electronics. Although still operating on the convenience and safety of a 1 cell, 3.7v Lipo battery, the setup provides the smooth scale power required for a larger model.
