Nice mig

It's been a while since a vid was posted here ..

Here's a nice flightvid from my good friend Jörg flying his Avios Mig-17 painted into a Syrian Airforce camo scheme.

The video was shot on August 31, 2024 at the 'Jets over Venlo' meeting in the Netherlands.

Good news, I got my gear sorted. The original set up was pretty elaborate, Rx wired to White distribution box, then to a sequencer board, then to the board that converts the signal to change polarity and lower or raise the gear. I have always had trouble with the gear on this from day one, first I got rid of the inner gear doors, when trouble persisted I got rid of the sequencer board. Then it worked fine for years. So when it started acting up again I assumed a mechanical problem. But when no amount of working on the gear would fix it I took another look at the electronics. I decided to get rid of the White distribution box entirely. A direct connection from the Rx to the polarity change gear driver board has the gear working consistently again. I got rid of the White distribution box entirely, with an admiral 10 ch Rx I had the ports anyway. I've got a dozen flights now no gear issues. Really happy.
So my Avios Mig 17 has a new lease on life, it has an FMS fan, and just recently an Eagle A3-L gyro, and with the gear working I can just enjoy flying the beast. And we all know how well these Migs fly! I get 4 minutes with my 6200 mAh packs.

There are several versions on Thingiverse that might work if he doesn't have one for you

Thanks I did come up with one. It the Freewing 90MM system which I found without issue.

Do you have the file for this attach point? It doesn't seem to be in the download. Thanks.

The right main gear on mine has become very "troublesome", it has a mind of its own. If anyone has a spare one and wants to sell it (or a set) let me know. Thanks

I redesigned the fuel tank attachment for direct fit with the Freewing 90mm EDF weapon attachment. STL file in attachment.

I designed a scale cockpit set for the Mig-17. If you're interested in the STL printfiles or a pre-printed set, contact me on pat.verlinden@telenet.be

UPDATE 2021:
STL-files are still available
Please note changed email : patv.verlinden@telenet.be

Small reminder : The MiG-17 cockpit set is still available! STL files if you can print it yourself, but also complete sets.
Please contact me at pat.verlinden@telenet.be

Yep battery ended up about 10 mm further forward,,, ye the mondo motor is very cool sounds good ,,, goes good.... u can feel the extra weight,, landed a bit faster,,, but fuuun.. was to use hughs term ,, pucker facter.... getin closer to that f4 phantom.. it flew 4 minuts with couple go rounds ended at 3.75 all round thats 4 minuts of throttle time

As always clevor dick no sillyness,,, meant i was as dumb as dog ****.. sorry . I missed the 300 kv times 10 volts times 20 volts 6000 rpm ... daa thats why u were a fire man and me just a bodyman painter AUTO .. BLA BLA ..... MISSED A ZERO IN THERE... B SAfe think i will b happy with extra speed in that case... yas will soon find out

I'm retired. That me about as useless as nipples on a bull. You, on the other hand, are important and currently valid. One of our cars is in the body shop right now getting a new fender and paint job. The firemen down the street are having a nap. Guess who I'm in favor of?

Its 1835 kv 12 blade hope 4 a little more speed,,, it already went 4 minuts on a 6000

You should get all of that! Just a lil heavy in the rear with that mondo motor. Check CG before getting it back in the air! Even with my 9 blade which is really light I had to move my battery forward almost all the way to the front!! Don't fly it tail heavy because it will not end well!

Actually, that would be an extra 7000 rpm on a fully charged 6s battery.

[f4u ausie]

Just looked the old one was1550 kv another 1000 odd rpm

Which kv motor did you get for yours? I swapped mine out for the FW 9 blade inrunner and it was a great fit for the bird! Faster with 4 min flights on a 6000 pack and not all that hard to drop in. i think that a 12 blade would have sounded better but not been as efficient as this one is! It is even more fun now!

WTF??!!! I've been in this hobby (helis, quads and planes) for a decade (this time around). I have ZERO interest in trucks, cars, boats, tanks or digging equipment.

Gosh damnit, it was late. That came out wrong, I was reading several other posts. That's one thing about social texting, things can get missed or not understood. Sorry bro, if I offended you. Matt. I remember you from Customer Service, you were a fire-fighter if I remember correctly? I guess you are very straightforward. That's a good thing.
