Official Freewing MiG-29 Fulcrum Twin 80mm Thread

Nothing of the sort, I asked Alpha about this because I was concerned the ruggedness of a conventional 3D print wouldn't be suitable for the 'gimbal operation' of the nozzle, but he told us they manufacture these with SLA. ;)

FDM is more common for home use, but many of us have both. Formlabs has a "tough" resin that would probably be ideal for this. I thought maybe a mix, some non-critical parts in FDM, and some critical parts in SLA. But if they aren't releasing the STL files, then I won't be able to do that. I wasn't clear to me from the original post if they are releasing them or not.

So yea... I succumbed to the peer pressure... I'm waiting on the boat to come in now too.... also ordered a set of the centerburners from Chris aka theRCGeek!

Beautiful video sfcfury , especially with the mountains in the background. BTW, excellent flying as well. I also put the AB's in my SU-30 and even in the Florida sun at noon, they are awesome, especially since they are so close to the end of the nozzle, it makes them easy to see. They should look great in the Mig as well.

Well, as far as I understood, they did indicate under the initial presentation that VT kits would be available both pre-fabricated and for home printing. SLA makes a lot more sense indeed, and greatly limits the amount of people who can print at home. Don't get me wrong, not unhappy about that, since FDM clearly would not be very well suited. It is perfectly possible to achieve strength enough, but smoothness is another matter.

I've been waiting for a life time for something like this at this scale. A 1:13th scale MiG-29 Fulcrum is going to fit perfectly in my collection of Russian birds!!! I pre ordered on the 27th of August and seriously hope it arrives at my place before October before my big show in Taos, NM!!!!

That wasn't my SU-30 lol... I was just posting the video to reference the centerburners...

Pre ordered now it cant come quick enough!! I'm making the jump from eflight to freewing. Horizon to Motion. I sold my su 30 from eflight in order to buy this one. From everything I've read and heard I will not be disappointed.

You do know this bird is 1:9 scale, correct? The Arrows RC twin 64mm Mig-29 is 1:13 scale.

While I am a FW/ FL fan I have to say that there are really good FMS/ EFlite/ Arrows birds too...

Hello everyone... I'm new to motion rc for the most part. I placed my order for the mig 2 days ago. Will this guarantee me for the first shipment or not necessarily? I really hope so! Also once motion receives shipment will they send them out to us or will our come the same time motion rc receives theirs? Thanks for the help! I'm stoked!!

The shipment is received by Motion and forwarded to the customers I believe.

If the webpage still didn't say anything about first shipment being fully sold out when you ordered, yours is probably part of the first batch.

Hey I recognize that place...it is just east of TaiZhong (台中). How did they get these already in Taiwan? I thought they were made in Shenzhen.

Well, I guess if they hit USA in mid-Sept, Taiwan is that much closer by boat, so OK, makes sense. Maybe they throw a few off the boat en route.

For everyone that can’t wait for their Mig and want to see more footage, including unboxing, and assembly.

Just saw this one on YouTube.

Glad you liked the video. The mountains in UT here are nuts.
many more on my YouTube page there.

Guys. Last night I had a nightmare that folks had started receiving tracking numbers for their MiG-29s... but I didn't. Pretty serious nightmare lol. I'm shook. Also, can't remember the last time I was this stoked for a model.

[Airguardian]

That's unironically terrifying!
