I use an AL-3 gyro on mine, with an extra capacitor for safety. I like the "locked in feeling" the gyro gives me (I don't have the gains set very high). But really, this jet is quite stable and doesn't really need a gyro - and the funny thing is that sometimes I have forgotten to turn on the gyro and didn't immediately notice!Marc flies FW & FL: AL37, MiG-29, T45,F4, A4, A10, F104 70 and 90, P38, Dauntless SBD, Corsair, B17, B24, B26 & P61, Lipp.P19, ME262, Komets, Vampire, SeaVixen, FMS Tigercat, FOX Glider & Radian XL.

Assuming you are using the middle battery tray (don’t use the front bay), many batteries will require a little foam removal from inside the top of the lid. Put some grease pencil or other soft tracer material on the top corners of the middle battery and set the lid on. Remove and inspect for marks on the foam. Remove a little foam then repeat until the battery no longer touches the foam.
FYI...I fly in hot summer weather, so I cut a small hole ahead of each fan to the inside hollow of the fuselage and glued a thin shim under a part of the canopy to keep a small air gap open so the fans suck air from the battery/BEC compartment to keep things cooler up front. Photo below...shows measurements in centimeters from the fan cover cavity edge and fan front (4.5 and 2.5). The hole is made into the foam side that is nearest the fuselage center for each fan. The cavity beyond the hole goes all the way to the cockpit. The amount of airflow through the cockpit is now LARGE!
Strongly suggest you take the time to read all the posts in this MiG forum before you maiden. You ‘ll learn a lot about needed mods and flight characteristics….to the point of helping you prevent a crash.

(aluminum tape was one of the "attempts" to add RF noise shielding so the FFS servo wires on the other side of the ESCs see less RF noise).

Originally posted by xviper View PostI have a gap but only when some of the wiring running down the sides are too lumpy and prevent the canopy from closing all the way. There's a lot of wiring. Move the wiring a bit towards the interior and no more gap. The canopy has a ridge on each side that must be able to sit flush with the floor. If the wiring gets between the ridge and the floor, it can't go down enough.

My main transmitter is in the shop, but today was such a beautiful day that I drug out my old 2016 vintage birds (and older radio equipment, of course) to get some flying in.
. . .
Is this a symptom of 5G? Are we going to start seeing loss of control events when flying near cell towers, now? Thoughts/Comments? Have any of you seen this?

Your TX has output less than 1 watt. Probably much less.
The pure e/m output of these sites is enough to swamp nearby unshielded electronic components regardless of frequency band.
