The build thread for my MIG-29 turbine conversion is here if anyone is interested.

This is just slow, graceful floating around in the fog

That is a really interesting video! You fly that really well, too. I would be afraid of going that low and slow, you really have to be in control of the throttle to do that correctly. I have some family in Sweden and visited in winter before - it seemed like one continuous night with brief intermissions for daylight.

Smooth!

I loved the video, thats the way I enjoy flying. Thanks.

Thanks :D

Yes, energy/throttle management is certainly an important factor in this kind of flying. Then again, not rocket science either - it is certainly something any pilot can do with some practice. The most important factor is really learning to read the model, controlling the altitude with throttle and speed with elevator. As well as coordinated turns using rudder+opposite aileron.

The MiG flies high alpha beautifully, but like has been discussed a few times before, be really careful with it until we get vectoring nozzles. The stock thrust line is up and out, and will lock you into high alpha if you get in too deep. VT will obviously remove that concern entirely.

And yes, winters are fairly dark here. I live at 59.6 degrees north, so we don't lose daylight entirely, but the hours of daylight are indeed not many.

Smooth!

Thanks :D

Very nice Janmb love the slow flying great job.

Beautiful — A great last flight, but hope you have a few more.
Magazine cover, for sure with the color burst captured.

Since i have few pilots ask me where i find the runcam cover.... JAMES show those 3-4 episodes ago . So thank you for that James , look thingverse . Here the file to search. Using Ender 3 pro ( get one if you can ) and works great .

The fall is a bit of a sad time of year here in Norway, knowing full well that winter is about to set a stop to our hobby for a few months. But it also delivers some pretty spectacular days, some with bright red and yellow colors, and like here, fog floating over the fields like wisps of smoke. Almost like a Japanese painting.

Nice flying.

Plenty of time now to do-it-yourself and make some afterburners!

Actually Griffon, that's the 3DP design I posted on Thingiverse (Foamin at the Mouth is the catchphrase for Rabid Models, my little business). There another older one that was made for the Mobius Action Cam and a brand new one for the Insta-360 GO camera. I use these all the time. They are designed to fit on the standard Freewing weapons pylon. You're saying that James mentioned this? I didn't know!!

The thing about inverted flat spins is stopping them. I've had several planes that would lock in and would take 2 - 3 turns to exit the spin.

It actually recovered very easily. Unlike the f14 flat spin..which takes a good 100ft of alt to recover

Would love to try the run cam holder.... do you have a link?

[mshagg]

Lol those camera mount designs are a little more sophisticated than mine

[xviper]

Same here. Mine is 1/2 (less than) of an A-10 missile launcher, with Velcro on one side.

Being enclosed may help in keeping the camera warm enough so that they don't shut-off mid-flight.

I know you have that problem janmb , I have run into it too!
Will likely test it out myself! :)

After some digging I found this for the Mobius. Understand there's a separate version for the Runcam.
May even end up doing my own version for a Firefly Q6! :)

My brother has a 3d printer and asked him to make one for my Mobias.

[sfcfury]

Here's the one for the Run Cam

Great design, would be interested in the Inst360 print if its available.

Got the other set of reinforcement pieces to reinforce the rear elevator mount on my second Mig-29. Will show how it's turning out in future pics.
