The crash at the mountainous field looks like there's very little elevator throw available to the pilot and they seem to me to be set up with a bit of down elevator dialed in at rest, once I slowed the video down and took a look.
At 1/4 speed just before the crash, either he's giving it all the elevator he has already, doesn't have any elevator response or he didn't seem to make any attempt to save it...I know I'd be yanking back on the stick but in the video, the elevators are almost neutral.

This one appears to be a real wreck

All I did was disconnect the main gear door servos from the wing boards, use a y-harness, and run them to the dual stage door port on the MCB. As a result when I lower my gear the doors shut once it's extended. When I retract the gear they open before the struts retract and then close after gear retraction. This is a simple mod that will only cost you a y-harness. It may not be scale but I like the way it works.

I used the books rates for flaps and used flaps 1 for the first landing then flaps 2 for the rest. I added some flap to elevator mix (nose UP trim) as well which kept it trimmed nicely with flaps down. The frontal profile can disappear against blueish/whitesh skies so the landing light comes in handy. I didn't find the MiG too difficult to land just make sure you have roll-out room if you come in hot.

After watching the Gripen video I see carbon tubes being used to attach the TV. If I build and fly the Mig before the TV accessory is available, am I screwed and not able to add TV at a later date?
So it is not like the Gripen where the entire tail section is glued on. You have to do a minor amount of surgery. On the Gripen, you simply choose which tail section to add, TV or non-TV.Pat

Standing over this massive jet with my fingers on the CG marks it was tipping nose down a little not a lot. The rear most pack can't move hardly at all but the upper pack has some room to adjust the CG. I had set the manuals recommended 1mm of nose up trim. I didn't have to trim a ton and had plenty of elevator authority.
Will probably have to carve foam anyway - I'll be flying with my 5000mah Graphene Panthers, which are fairly heavy, so getting the CG I want will most likely require a little bit of creativity. No biggie what so ever though, used to it, and should be easier on this model than most.Freewing A-10 turbine conversion: http://fb.me/FreewingA10TurbineConversion
