The thing is he only knows what he knows. And he only tells us what he wants to tell us.

That said mine is still flying and I'm still impressed with how well it flies.

Flap servo sh!!! Itself now god the electronics r crap. Ive had less trouble with dynam stuff!!

My flap servo died on the table while setting it up, not even one flight, junk, I sold it when the gear started retracting on its own (like on short final!)

Some pix from the last time I flew it...

So I swapped out the stock motor fan combo for the new FW 90mm 9 blade inrunner set up. pretty pleased with the results! Feels better all around and battery is even happier than before! The speed increased and the climb is much better than before even though the plane is a tad heavier with the inrunner... Here are before and after videos.

Fitted my new gecho esc Works a treat. Still learning about the electronic stuff. It is adjustable in voltage. What would req. A bolt change from the factory 5 volts. Just curious. Lastly. I thought. The rudder servo died. But it was the white box. So I have got rid of that and gone straight to the receiver any reason I should not do that?? Lockdown. Finished next week if no the sh??? Will hit the fan. So looking to maiden sooon

The traces on that box are super picky. It doesn't take much to fry it at all. It is mainly a Y connector so its not that big of a deal to bypass it. I ended up taking it out of mine since I didn't trust the fact that it is so easy to fry...

Well, i have TWO of these Mig-17's both still new in box! Ive got too many planes and not enough room! Bought 2 because it was 50% off one weekend. Also bought the files to 3d print a detailed cockpit for them, plus bought some red stars from Callie. Maybe this summer i will get one flying🤷♂️🙂

Too bad you are in New Zealand - I would buy one from you!

Sorry forgot. It looks awesome in the air and is easy to c

Maiden done and dusted. Went well .. fair bit right aileron trim. And was a bit pitch sensetive. CG. Maybe. CG was 300 mm from leading edge. Flew well mayb too much travel??

Thanx shaggers. So no need to b concerned plugging directly into receiver. Gear and gear doors all work thanx again

The adjustable voltage will be for the BEC (the voltage provided to the receiver, servos, retracts etc).

Unless you have a specific need, and are confident the equipment can take it (I wouldn't be when it comes to Avios electronics) I wouldnt change it.

Hang in there, fingers crossed they ease the restrictions soon!

Where's my can of trust...

Certainly not holding my breath, especially these days, but I think there is a decent chance that he is being straight with us and they will.show up in stock here again.
