Official Freewing MiG-29 Fulcrum Twin 80mm Thread

Thanks Hugh!
That's the power of flying with full throws and large expo values... yes, the plane is a bit more twitchy but it can save your a$$ when you done messed up big time!

[Hugh Wiedman]

I'm not sure what's more impressive... the way I deeply messed up, or the way I magnificently dealt with it right next...

I gotta vote for the magnificent save. Anybody can mess up, but that save was capable by almost no one, except of course for you. 🤔

[Airguardian]

Thanks!
That's the beauty of tailerons + large throws + vectored thrust. :)
They allow you to get away with murder when you mess up!

[James]

Wow! Nice save. So many chances that could have went perfectly good or perfectly bad.

Your right on semi gloss, found out real quick that 4 coats of gloss on my Blue Angel was BAD ! Gator'd up in 45 seconds in sun .😬

[Evan D]

I really like it. It does need a semigloss over spray as the paint is matte and the decals have a gloss.

[Airguardian]

I want to get one in that livery at some point :')

Love it!

Bring on a cloudy day? 😁

Got digital gray December 2021 and added thrust vector, love it. Was going to get B 1 but overpriced for issues and for same price decided on the new Red Star version. Was surprised it had reverse thrust ( released on 7-15-23 . She really stands out. The missiles were bland and didn't contribute to paint scheme so I added a touch! Using Spectrum 8 channel with mix and yes, everything works. Used same setup for both freewing F-14' s . White struts

I had a bad landing today and need some repainting.

I found the elapor colors of Multiplex, but I'm not sure to buy the grey or silver metallic.

What do you think?

Grey is easier to adjust with white or black and easier to get a flat finish than silver

Right on. Thanks!

Yes, I reduced my timer 10 seconds but may reduce it more. I have this in my Gripen which I seldom fly full throttle, just occasionally to see that it does, in fact, have good vertical. Most my flight is flips and flops, 3D type stuff.

[nuts-n-volts]

Evan, did you notice a flight time decrease because of more power used? Amount?

[Evan D]

It will. Swapping out the EDF in my Gripen was a huge boost but it should be, the older units in the MiG make 101A and 2291W. The new EDF in my Gripen makes 127 and 2857, a 25% increase.

[TGoelzer]

I might buy 2 units and install them in my Mig 29 and see if that makes a big difference
