Microaces Nieuport 17 C.1 Knight of Death kit - Flown by René Dorme

To complete you will also need transmitter, Microaces AIO 5 Channel Receiver to match your Tx, battery and charger, adhesives etc.

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 Nieuport 17 C.1 kit replicates one of the most famous French built sesquiplane fighters of WWI. The livery of this kit is that of one of the greatest French aces, René Dorme.

In the 10 months Dorme fought on the front line with Escadrille N3, he amassed 23 confirmed kills and 32 probables. Because René relished in fighting behind enemy lines, where it was more difficult to prove victories, it's likely his score was severely underestimated. On the 25th of May 1917 René Dorme was reported missing, killed in action in the area around Fort de la Pompelle, Reims.

Included in this multi-media kit is a vac-formed cowl and spinning dummy rotary engine kit. The resulting model has an incredible level of mechanical and visual detail that look great on display but even better when airborne.

This Microaces kit is now supplied 'as standard' with the most suitable Microaces motor/gearbox and propeller combination for the model.

So to complete the kit for radio controlled flight, all you need is an All In One (AIO) Receiver that's compatible with your transmitter.
