Official Freewing MiG-29 Fulcrum Twin 80mm Thread

[Aros]

I believe it's fallout from that "Shall Not Be Named" spamapalooza. We had to adjust many spam parameters in the backend, and unfortunately these innocuous posts are flagged for some odd reason I am not sure of.

Sorry for the inconvenience folks, but sadly thanks to some jerks out there, it's the cost of doing business.

Aros,

Would check with the Webmeister and ask why Hugh Wiedman's post are being flagged as SPAM?

Don't have a good answer for him, but presume it's holdover from the Chinese TEA_MOO Attack of 2025.

Best, LB

That must've been quite a day at the airshow!! You've certainly got the superior claim to "Wildman".
I've seen 2 others in this blue/yellow scheme (obviously without the snakes), and one also in this thread used the other aircrafts number 926. Definitely don't want to fly these 2 together or they way want to reenact the crash!
This repaint was actually quite easy. After priming everything with white Rustoleum spray primer, the yellow is simply Rustoleum Gloss Spray Enamel "Golden Sunset" and the blue is Rustoleum "Blue Maui". Black is hand painted testors gloss enamel and of course the graphics are all custom made by Callie, without whom I'd be totally lost.

Definitely quite visible in the sky!!

Amazing stuff. A quick google and we don't have the same names for the Rustoleum paint over here in the UK but I'll give what we do have a look, see if it's a match 👌

[Elbee]

Elbee can you take a look at my last post here, it just got flagged for spam or unapproved. Probably because it has a photo from the Air-Britain Collection included in it.

Hugh,

Not sure why that happens, but I pressed the "Approved" Icon and it's all good.

This is still fallout from the Chinese T_e-m-u Attack of 2025.

Farging Bastages, all.

Happy New Year, Brother.

Best, Steve

Hugh, amazing work on your "925"! I was an 11 year old just about to start high school when I saw these two crash at RAF Fairford. Always had an interest in the MiG29 since! What paint and colours did you use? I have one of the older 9 blade 2021 models which I want to repaint as I've just picked up a new 2025 model to keep in the digital camo. My surname is Wildman 😂

These were the upgrades I did to the Mig's horizontal stabs. 2-ProModeler DS150CLHV servos, 1 servo reverser and a Hangar 9 4 1/4 inch titanium control rod. The ProModelers are priced competitive to the MKS and hitec servos, but in my opinion, are better. And Made here in Florida. They are powerful, quiet, smooth as silk and consistently return to neutral. No chattering searching for 0. There are others more expensive out there, but these are more than sufficient for me and these aircraft.

Finally installed a gyro on her! 😁

Thank you. see my screen shots above for motion rc explanation.

Hello. has anyone here actually placed. the new 80mm 12 blade edf units in the v1. Some have said it is the same size unit with the same esc’s are the same amperage but the motion rc people said it wouldn’t work. Just curious

Plenty of guys have fitted the 12 blade 2150kv fans to the mig and used the original 100A esc. Did you ask why it won't work.

[Evan D]

All the FW 80's have the same form factor but some may have shorted or longer motor wires. If swapping out both fans and the ESCs for the V2 I'm 100% sure it will work.

[xviper]

I think that's their "legal" brain talking. Like in automobiles, ANY modification to a car, even something as simple as changing wheels or non-OEM air filter "could" void warranty if something goes wrong with the car, even parts not related to wheels or air filter. It's up to the consumer to take and accept that risk/possibility.

[baseballrn64]

I’m not sure what to believe. looking at the reviews of the edf units on their site. multiple people are raving about the improvements on their jets

[baseballrn64]

The chat on the motion rc site as i was about to purchase the two units

[Evan D]

Who at motion said no and did they say why.

A good increase in thrust

A good analogy would be the A-10 - V1 vs V2. My V2 with the latest 12-bl inrunner is immensely more powerful than my old V1.

I'm looking forward to when the MiG comes back into stock. Maybe it'll be a V2.1 and have quick attach wings.

[Alphonso]

Hello all. i was just wondering if anyone has owned and or flew both the V1 and V2 versions with the different motors and blades. i was wondering the performance difference. Thank You

A good increase in thrust

[Alphonso]

Thanks for the reply. So if i understand you if i use 6000 mid rear. if i went to 5000ish i could use the front and rear? i’m relatively new to edf and electrics coming from large scale gassers. Does the weight of the extra mAh basically zero out extra flight time of the smaller packs. Thanks

I have the vectored thrust and my 5900mah packs weigh 750g. I have to use front and rear trays to be 25mm aft of the CG marks.
in answer to the second question, the plane can handle a wide range of lipo sizes and the extra mah will give longer flights. If you went large enough to dramatically notice the weight increase, the packs would not fit in the model. The reason for this is heavy packs would mean having to use the mid lipo tray and then they become difficult to actually mount without removing lots of canopy foam.
