Tony Read Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I spotted the Micro Aces stand at W&W. They have some very pretty WW1 types including the Se5A, Fokker D7 and the Bristol Fighter with more on the way! I was so impressed that I bought a SE5A.

Tony Read Posted June 29, 2016 Author Share Posted June 29, 2016 Forgot to mention that they need the guts from a Parkzone/E-flight micro flyer. They are also quite robust as the demonstrator SE5A flew into a tent pole on more than one occasion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Hargreaves - Moderator Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Wonderful...I was very taken by one of the Ares Sopwith Pups at my last indoor session but these look just as good.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Read 2 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Hi Steve, they fly as good as they look and are much more scale than the Ares models. I must admit I have the Ares Pup and the Fokker D7. I had to send the Fokker back because the main wings were hopelessly out of alignment and warped. The wings are all glued together so it is impossible to rectify unless you pull it all apart. I had a look in some of the boxes at W & W and one Fokker had its wings misaligned (but not as much as mine) and the Pups had crush damage where held down in the box (like mine was). So it pays to check them out before buying one IMHO. The Pup fly's great but have yet to receive the Fokker back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyB Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Really like that BrisFit, but sadly I don't have access to a hall big enough at present to get one. They do look to be a little faster than some of the RTF ones, but as per above they look a lot nicer too!

GrumpyGnome Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 I am part way through building a Fokker. Fiddly and completely new techniques for me..... doubt mine will look as good, or fly as well as it is supposed to 😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom (Essential RC) Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Started building my Microaces SE5a today. Certainly a nice thing to put together on a windy wet day when you can't go flying. Will post pics of my build here. Fairly straightforward so far with the clear instructions. My recent videos of these models flying can be found on my video thread... http://www.modelflying.co.uk/forums/postings.asp?th=119166 Edited By Dom (Essential RC) on 20/08/2016 12:29:54 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
