Official Freewing MiG-29 Fulcrum Twin 80mm Thread

Yes….bending the main axle pins slightly works great!

I also found that toe out can be a symptom of the main’s plastic mounting box becoming loose and/or the foam supporting the box becoming mushy.

A bit of carbon added in strategic places (remove the wing) around the plastic mounts works wonders.

Now…when the plastic mount(s) crack, you’ve got your work cut out for you to replace them. Reference my prior posts covering this headache.

They are not designed to be replaceable, but you can do it. You can’t get to the screws that secure the plastic mounts.

Thanks- I hadn’t even noticed the toe until I watched the video. I’ll give that a shot.

Beautiful flight! smooth... Looks like you're getting the Mig toe out on the main gear due to the high cycles. Glider Guy's simple fix by bending the rotation pins slightly to correct the toe out works perfectly. It will save you a bunch in tire wear! ask me how I know. Keep up the awesome flying!

Had some great flights with mine this past weekend. Probably north of 150 total now!

Very nice Skosh25 , always liked your scheme! Great flight and landing. Still looks a little cold out there!

Thanks I hadn’t flown it in a couple weeks so landing was a bit harder than I would have liked. Subsequent landings were better.

it was actually in the mid 60s that day!

I wish they'd let us know ahead of time like the previous price increase

[Evan D]

Almost all the FW and FL just went up, seems like the FL warbirds went up more than the FW jets. Seems "fair" as most everything except what I have coming in has gone up...

I ordered one yesterday and paid $699. Today it's listed at $750! I guess I jumped just in the nick of time.

Just noticed that myself, I was browsing today on their website and noticed the Mig was $749, I thought that was a price increase but wasn't sure until I seen your post, I'm sure we will see the increase on some of the other top sellers.

Well, you did it. Made me order another Mig to replace the one I destroyed last year. Don't think I will do the German scheme again, though.

Great information GliderGuy. Anyone have the paint color for both the exhaust nozzles and the section just before the nozzles?

They are both given in earlier posts in this forum. Not sure which posts. I suggest starting to look in the earlier posts. Maybe the “search” feature will find the posts???

I just got my Top Design struts and just as everyone has stated, these things are way too stiff. I mean I have to really push on them to get them to compress. Did anyone ever find a replacement spring or mod the strut in any way for more compression/cushion?

For anyone interested, I found a replacement compression spring for the Top Design struts. They are much softer but rebound well.

Hi Ronny - Here is the exact match. It goes on purple when wet, but dries to the correct color. Home Depot

Many Thanks , ...
