Instruction manual

This instruction manual is designed to help you build a straight, great flying airplane. Please read this manual
thoroughly before beginning assembly of your new Mirage 2000-5. Use the parts listing below to identify and
separate all of the parts before beginning assembly.
ÄKIT CONTENTSÃ We have organized the parts as they come out of the box for better identification during
assembly. We recommend that you regroup the parts in the same manner. This will ensure you have all of the
parts required before you begin assembly and will also help you familiarize yourself with each part.
To make your modeling experience totally enjoyable, we recommend that you get experienced, knowledgable help
with assembly and during your first flights. Your local hobby shop has information about flying clubs in your area
whose membership includes qualified instructors. You can also contact the AMA at the address below.
