Anyone have a good ejection seat? Now that my bird is flying it’s time to do some upgrades to the mitten wearing munchkin pilot. I just finished resin printing a pilot and now need some seating.

One observation - there is certainly a non-linear response to the elevator, it feels awkward. I have the upgraded servos from MRC. I think it is due to the flex on the control rods. Even with the carbon fiber tubes the rods flex. Funny enough MRC sells rods for the F-14 Wing sweep mechanism that are perfect length and are much thicker. I'll be installing these soon: https://www.motionrc.com/products/fr...ng-pushrod-set

Special thanks to Chris for hooking me up with a pair of Mig-29 Rocket pods! They look great and the design of them is spot on. I still need to ad the finishing weathering touches to them but they look good. See pics below. Chris I might order another pair from you....... I'm thinkin it looks better with two pods on each wing. I saw a few pics online with that config and the jet looks great.

Stunning projects, those pods look badass.
Will definitely need to print some for myself i due time. Thanks to Chris G for the design.
Unfortunately, my MiG had a dead main retract out of the box, but motion showed impeccable customer service as usual, so a new was in the mail hours after the ticket was written. Sucks to wait another week, but gives more time to build well anyway.Freewing A-10 turbine conversion: http://fb.me/FreewingA10TurbineConversion

Probably my wife would say it needs closer color matching, but on the other hand, I would say her knitting machine needs a turbine motor upgrade.

Oops, you are right. None the less there were loose servo connections behind one of the wing interconnection plates on mine. I assume he did check connections on the MCBe...

All retracts are fuselage mounted, leads go directly into the MCB (aka blue box).

I removed the entirely retract device and tested it completely isolated. So all other sources are ruled out.Freewing A-10 turbine conversion: http://fb.me/FreewingA10TurbineConversion
