    Mig 21. My favorite jet of all time.

    Nice! That thing maneuvers on a dime! Great work with the afterburner. Looks very convincing.

      yeah, these Migs are pretty cool models. They don't really stall either, so they end up having a huge speed envelope.

    I liked that takeoff with the roll, unbelieveable camara work at tracking the plane.

      Thanks! I’m honestly not sure about the intro music. I think it was something that was packaged within the video editing software I was using at the time.

    Hey i love the center burner!! Any chance they are available? I'm attending an event in June and would like to have one of those in my mig.

    • @Thercgeek
      @Thercgeek  7 років тому +1

      My friend is working on making them available, but I don't think they'll be available by June. There are some challenges getting some parts made that in the end will make it much easier to produce. Right now, it's quite time consuming for him to make.

      Unfortunately, I do not. My friend painted this one up. It's the same concept though that I showed in my painting camouflage video.

  • @vintageracer3734

    Does this model have its original EDF? I have the 80MM Free wing A-10 9 blade in mine and it just doesn't go like this one...awesome video/flight/paint work!

    • @Thercgeek
      @Thercgeek  5 років тому

      Yeah, this is the stock setup the airplane comes with. Did you calibrate your speed controller? The freewing ESCs usually need to be calibrated to ensure max throttle range.

    • @vintageracer3734
      @vintageracer3734 5 років тому

      @@Thercgeek I did calibrate it per the manual. Mine seems fast but the take off is long and the climb out is spooky. I Have to keep the nose down and wait before any aggressive bank angles. It's way less than a scale departure!

    • @Thercgeek
      @Thercgeek  5 років тому

      Could the airplane be out of balance? What happens if you pull more aggressive up elevator? Does it pitch up quickly?

    • @vintageracer3734
      @vintageracer3734 5 років тому

      @@Thercgeek I did not try anything like that. CG is good. But my takeoff. Is nothing like the one in your awesome video. I am going to order the metal 12 blade and use the motor from the 9 blade. I may need another adapter to move your Afterburner Light I have installed! Look at my vids for a I love your light shout out!!

    I would love to see a side by side, and flight characteristic comparison between the 80mm f-86 and the Mig!

    • @Thercgeek
      @Thercgeek  7 років тому

      Based on what I know about the two, the Mig way out performs the Sabre. The sabre flies well, but doesn't have near the performance of the Mig (my friend had one).

    • @AlanEvans789
      @AlanEvans789 7 років тому

      Which would actually reflect the performance difference between the real F86 and the Mig21. Now an F86 against a Mig 15 or 17 would be a different matter. I would expect similarly sized models, with scale performance matched power plants to be far more realistic. Of course there are lots of aerodynamic reasons why that doesn't happen.

    • @Thercgeek
      @Thercgeek  5 років тому

      Yeah, my 80mm outrunner design should fit the 12blade freewing fan. I think that’s the same as what in this mig.

    • @Thercgeek
      @Thercgeek  7 років тому +2

      So, the afterburner setup is something my friend Air-Jon designed. He intends on selling a few. Basically, he designed a replacement tailcone for the motor that has a bunch of LED's in it. So, when the LED's are on, they glow from the center of the duct as opposed to around the perimeter like you get with the traditional AB rings. I have one that I'll be installing into the Kfir kit bash I'm finishing up.
