I have over 2 dozen flights. The construction is good and solid, however this is not an "easy " kit,, you need building skills. It flies like a sport jet, nothing super fancy fur sure it has presence in the sky due to it´s size and shape. I use a SW140 which is good, but might be better with 160 power as it carries plenty of fuel. Lastly I saw a lot of complains in forums about the gear and brakes, honestly I don´t see a problem there. Braking is not super strong, but it´s enough if you land at the correct airspeed, no issues there. My opinion is that it´s totally worth it for the official $1600 price tag
Beautiful flying field. Where is this place? High attitude? The landing looks fast. Also building one and almost ready to maiden. I modified the tail wings’ control horns to be right under the rotation shaft. Using a separated 3 S battery and control unit to power the brakes. Fixed all 3 landing gears driving motors by adding a 0.8 mm cooper washers in the front of the threaded shaft inside so the they would not become loose and disconnected from the electric motors. What’s your tail wing angle position, how many mm down at the front edge? Thank you.
Hello. Trying to address your questions: -We Fly in Guadalajara, Mexico. Our runway is paved 280m. Our altitude is 1600m above sea level, turbine suffer about 15% power loss. Yes, the landing was a little fast, but it was maiden flight, I was too nose heavy (CG as per the manual) and that left me with about 10mm "up" elevator trim. However I did not like this and now I have full deflection on stabs (as much travel as physically possible) and moved CG aft about 5cm. Much more to my liking now. It can land slow and nice, my problem (I think) was about too nose heavy. I know the comments about the landing gear motors and brakes, but honestly I did not see any issue there. What engine are you using?
@ Greeting from Houston, Texas. Landing and take off would be faster in high attitude with thinner air. Like most rc jet with fuel tank in front of CG, the 3 kg of fuel would move the CG forward 3 to 4 cm. Its’ large elevators should be good to balance it out no problem. If you draw a horizontal line from the main wings to the elevators, 10mm is about right. The control horns become to short of leverage for more up elevator movements. Will maiden with 3 liters of fuel, and should be good over 5 mins for a SW-120.
@@jeffwang7562 with SW140 I can fly 7:30mins. You should be able to achieve about the same with SW120, maybe a bit less if you are using more throttle stick. Hope you enjoy it, the jet it´s totally worth its price tag
How many flights do you have on your mig 29 an how do you like it overall quality an also flight careistics sure looks good
