Thanks a bunch! Already printed some out. The OEM doors are very brittle.

the first Mig-17 that I saw fly in person looked like hat! Great stuff! Mine is still on the bench but it was figured out that the sequencer went bad. To me that is fine because the gear doors make it hard to transport!! ear doors coming out and sequencer will be bypassed... will get back to it this evening and hopefully have it flying this week!!Check me out on youtube at https://www.youtube.com/user/gooniac33

Maidened mine this morning - 2 flights. First one was the trimming flight. Battery (Gens Ace 5000) as far aft as possible - right up against that control board. It didn't need much elevator trim and only a couple of clicks of AIL trim. Flew very nicely, sounded terrific. As quoted before by someone, this thing floats right past you. The last 10 feet of altitude, it just doesn't want to come down. No flaps used, not airbrakes used for the landing. Second flight, just like the first, already trimmed so I just flew it. I'm at 3500 feet and it does big loops with ease. Even on high rates, it rolls quite slowly. Second landing used full flaps and activated airbrakes as soon as it touched down. It just kept rolling and ran up onto the grass at the end of the runway and tore out one main retract. Now it doesn't work. Will diagnose later.
It's not a real fast jet, but I guess it flies good enough as is, that it doesn't really need to be fast. It's a big plane and it barely fits inside the car whole. My SU-35 is easier to get in the car and I thought that one was "big". Once I fix the retract, another couple of flights and I should be able to land it better. If there are no mishaps or electronics crapping out, this one's a keeper.

I'm not sure if it will take off from grass. I flew off a GeoTex runway. It was the bounce up onto the grass at the end that tore the retract mount out. This plane lifts off at a very low speed, so it might make it off grass. It seemed to roll quite easily when taxiing back on the grass.
