Been thinking about treating myself to the Mig 29 .I have always wanted one but thought almost £600 for a foamy is a bit much .Now I have decided it is such a good looking model and the feedback is good about the MIg 29 time to treat myself .Now the bad news ,it seems it is going to be at minimum of 10 weeks before they are back in stock .So thinking about the Eflite SU 30 ,that is in stock but how does it compare to the Mig 29 .Is it better ,not so good and I would be better waiting for the Mig to come back in stock Or are they similar to each other .Has anyone flown both models to give me a comparison on which is the best model .At least the Eflite SU 30 does not have the elevator servo problem !!!

Even so, I still fly it frequently, looks great on the ground and in the air with AB's and the airbrake. It's underpowered and tough to get off grass, even with a changed 2 1/4" nose wheel. A 6000mah bat is too heavy and to get it to fly halfway decent, had to go to a 5000, with only 3 minutes flight time and limited vertical. Nuff said!Hugh "Wildman" Wiedman

Hi CM....A suggestion....while waiting for the MiG to get back in stock, spend time reading all the posts in this forum. Tons of good info here.
Not all the mods are necessary, you can pick the ones that make sense to you. DO NOT FLY FAST with flaps down.
Here is a current link to the RF chokes.

Did someone already see the Mig fly with the thrust vectoring ? can’t seem to find a video of this....
Would this help me to get faster of the ground from gras?
At a certain time the plane dues not accelerates anymore on grass, I had about 15 flights ok takeoff and nice flight’s bud the last one the grass field was not long enough. 🤔
Repair almost done but i was wondering if tv can help.?

Honestly I think the Sukhoi is the better plane to fly, if you're in it for the TV capabilities.

But to be honest he didn't have TVs.
I do agree for agressive TV flight the SU is better. So is the old F-18, the Euro Fighter and the Gripen.

As above it will give you more authority to horse it up off the ground, but it's a risky strategy. If it's not going quick enough for the control surfaces to be effective then I'm not sure you want to be airborne? There is a recent video which shows you what can happen...

Then again, with a properly tuned model I'm sure the MiG-29 can be pretty awesome too. We've seen a lot of good stuff from Spain already, and that's only playing with the "stock vectoring".
Most people fly needlessly nose heavy, more or less poor elevator setups, and overall too heavy because of running far heavier batteries than this model really calls for. Get the elevators really stiff and really precise, a close to neutral CG, and no more than 700g batteries, and I'm sure you would be amazed by the mig too.
The SU-35 was an amazing model, extremely light, but like all other twin 70, single battery setups, it was horrible in terms of flight time as murder on the batteries. That's what I really like the most about the MiG, just like any other twin 80, twin battery setup: You get really decent performance and really good flight time without stressing batteries at all.

Hello Captain,
as you mentioned UK pounds as the currency, I assume you are in the UK. This company on the continent has them in stock. They have both the kit and the full PNP version. I bought from that company a few times before and things were okay. You could also buy the TV units for the MiG from motionrc.eu, they also currently have them, but not the plane.
Cheers and good flying,
Henrik

Originally posted by RC Rich View PostI've never used tailerons, but after seeing your videos I'm thinking of trying it. Any tips on that? Also, could you please share any control surface throws that are different than what the manual calls for.
Nothing really strange though, just add elevon mix to the stabs (or for OTx-like radios, that's just passing an individual pitch and roll mix for every stab channel, 4 mixes in total), make sure you check endpoints so the stabs don't bind and use a decent amount of expo. :)

Airguardian only because your flights are so smooth and relaxing, not a knock on the video.Hugh "Wildman" Wiedman

But it also has some pretty dramatic drawbacks, some easily fixed, others not so much.
