It's fast, it is small and can be hard to see at times but it is a Delta so it can high Alpha great and it is soooo much fun to fly. It glides well and you don't have to fly it wide open all the time. I use Admiral 6S 4000 Pros in mine and they work great! To answer your question, you won't know until you try.

RC Jet dude is right, you don't have to fly the Mirage at full throttle the entire time. Cruise the Mirage at half throttle until you're comfortable with it. One of our videos shows me flying it for several minutes with mixed throttle, some of it gliding and low power cruise. The Mirage's delta configuration lends itself to efficient close in flying.
If you fly the F-16 and F-4 "fine", as you say, then it sounds like you have the fundamental skills and conposure to try the Mirage.Live Q&A every Tuesday and Friday at 9pm EST on my Twitch Livestream

I hear you. I have both and love both because they really are different experiences. The Mirage is a small 80mm which I like because it really is a speed demon, but also with that fat delta shape, she has awesome slow flight characteristics as well. Then the Hawk is easily FW's fastest 70mm stock but with it's shape and the flaps she can perform like a sports jet, fly slow and has that nice nose light which not only looks cool, but helps with orientation as well.
Its a tough choice for sure.

Originally posted by Hardway View PostThe Mirage is super sensitive in the roll axis. So with the elevon setup, you need the up and down (elevator), but just a tiny bit of roll (aileron). Factory rates are way too high to start off with.... Can't remember exactly what the throws are :Thinking:Planes

This was posted by Tired Iron:
Welcome to Hobby Squawk! I use 520mm and I have the following rates and it flys great and will high alpha to a crawl I'm not using a gyro and it's solid as a rock. This plane has made me a much better EDF pilot, it's helped me learn how to setup a good glide path to bleed off speed and get my nose up on approach for a nice gentle touch down.
Aileron: 40% rate 40% expoElevator: 100% rate 40% expoRudder: 100% rate 40% expo
I also use the Admiral 4000 pro batteries and get a solid 4 minutes.

The main thing was to tone down the roll rates....a lot.:Cool:
