Assembly Manual
The Mirage 2000-5 is the latest interceptor jet in a long line of Mirage designs that find their begin-
nings back in the 1950's. Speed, maneuverability, and payload capacity put it in a class with the
infamous F-16 and F-18. A delta wing panform and sleek lines make it one fast and agile jet. Our
model of the venerable Mirage is no different. This model adaptation has great slow speed character-
istics yet at full throttle, the 400 size electric motor powers this Mirage at amazing speeds. The assem-
bly is very simple which means you will be in the air in no time. 400 size electric aircraft are afford-
able and fly great yet are very economical to own and operate. We know you'll enjoy flying this fast
and agile semi-scale pusher jet. Just remember, this plane is quick and not suitable for inexperi-
enced pilots. Thank you for choosing the Mirage 2000-5 for your next project.
