@@MerryBoozerRC thanks Wesley. I just had a moment to do some research. Looks like a $2.8 mil FCC fine for transmitter violations, is that what we're talking about? If so, that could take years to go through the process, and honestly, they should be able to absorb a fine of that amount. Now, if there are more lawsuits...
@@Thercgeek The model arrived with a damaged afterburner ring but the box was not damaged so that was from the factory. Then the vertical stab was bowed. The front landing gear worm drive destroyed itself after a couple or retract cycles. Then, trying to get the replacement parts from HobbyKing was like trying to communicate with a Goldfish. The door sequencer did not work properly. I really wanted this model and paid good money for junk! I guess I am spoiled by the quality and service from Horizon and MotionRC. I know if I dump more money into it and put quality parts it can be an amazing model like yours. Maybe one day.
Ah, that’s no good. I had issues with this one too, but not to that extent. Mostly, the assembly was very fiddly and required de locking almost every single servos. Also, the servos themselves are pretty marginal. It’s unfortunate because it’s a cool model and a really nice airframe when together.
Smooth landing - nice video! Love your dedication to get down on the ground for the taxi shot.
Thanks! 😊
Nice job Chris👍 I love my Avios MiG-17 and I also have the afterburner kits installed, looks fantastic
Great flight! Love the afterburner and the chrome cowl ring.
Thanks!
That after burner effect was great on this bird. Great landing 👍🏻
Thanks!

Naw they will move everything offshore and you will have to import everything from China ... I doubt it will hurt them in the least bit
Great flight. Where was your cg?
Cg was per the manual. I show it in my review vid which will be posting on Tuesday.
in your flight review will you be showing (on the wing) where you have your CG?
Yup! Review will post on Tuesday.
What battery and flight times
Wundervoll 👍👍👍👍😄
Good flying Comrade Wolfe, you deserve a nice cold Wadka.
Haha
Vera nize !
Will you get the eflite twin otter
It’s not on the docket at the moment. Working on a bunch of other stuff at the moment.
👍👍👍
I wish I had snagged one up. Guess we're not going to see anymore MiG 17 from HobbyKing.
They're on sale right now
You know how this hobby is. Grab something while you can because you never know when they’ll end up discontinued.
@@Thercgeek Let me know should you decide to sell your MiG Chris. I would like to buy it. received the Pilots today, thanks. MB
Mine was a lemon out of the box. I gave up on it for now.
Bummer! What was the issue? I had my issues with this one too, but got it sorted.

That's definitely not the stock motor..I changed mine out and ya much better
This is bone stock. No mods other than the afterburner.
CHECK CAPTAIN RYAN'S REVIEW ON THIS PLANE. ANOTHER GOOD ONE TO WATCH WOULD BE "IN THE TUBE DEEP", HE LIKES THIS PLANE?.!
Also, my review when it posts on Tuesday! 😉
