Maiden the Red Star Mig today. Very easy to see with red and blue scheme.
Flew it without thrust vectoring. Few clicks of up elevator and right aileron and she was locked in without a Gyro.
Very good looking plane in the air or on the ground. Received a lot of compliments!
Next flight coming with thrust vectoring!

I did say I found it difficult to talk to you as I asked about your F-22 set up and opening up your battery area and your response didn’t have anything I was asking about. I was even standing up for you and said I can be difficult too and then you start the smack, your word, about 3D and 700 helos (I have them too btw). I’m sure you can fly helos better than me though, I stopped pushing myself with 3D helos years ago.

Going back to our first exchange, do you have pictures of how you chiseled your F-22 battery area and can you tell me what batteries you used? Again I’ve flown mine 6,8,10 and 12s and had no issues fitting batteries.

lucky. I was supposed to get mine thursday but fed ex dropped the ball once again so monday is the day. Cant wait to throw my vbar neo on that thing and rip. Did you fly with and without missiles and if so was it a big difference.

"The FlexJet TV has approximately 90% more power than the original FlexJet while remaining very lightweight. This excess power is intended for up-lines and post-stall (3D) maneuvers ONLY. Because of this, the pilot is required to limit the speed of the aircraft and the G-load on the aircraft.- Powered dives are not permitted
- Extended level flight at full throttle is not permitted
- High-Speed and/or High-G maneuvers are not permitted
- Flying in wind speeds or gusts greater than 20mph (32km/h) is not permitted
Over-speeding or over-stressing the aircraft can result in structural failure and a crash, which may also cause property damage or injury.

Originally posted by Evan D View PostNot sure why that is concerning. Everyone flying high performance aircraft, 3D, etc plus most general aircraft should understand that an airframe has limitations. Even an Apprentice or Timber.
I have all sorts of aircraft ( Props, Turbines, EDF, Scale and 3D helis and drones) and have been doing this hobby for 30+ years and this is the first time i have ever seen a disclaimer on an aircraft website about potential structural failure dong something as simple as a high speed pass.
I also have my PPL/IFR and FAA 107 certs as well.
all air frames do have limitation but they are usually reached when the aircraft deparst from normal flight, has poor construction, maintenance, age or suffered prior damage. If you check their other similar aircraft, the Pro version, it has no such disclaimers.
I think this simply a case where they bolted on too much power to attract a specific segment of the hobby and exceeded the limitations of the air frame.
BTW I found your "Apprentice or Timber" comment childish but humorous.

Thanks for making it personal. Here are some pictures of planes I have that I would not fly in a full throttle high speed pass. I have or have had others but unfortunately don't have pictures available to post. They are simply not designed to do so. If, with all your vast experience and certifications, can't understand this, I'm sorry. I assume I don't need to put in a picture of the Apprentice or Timber.
I agree there are very few companies that have such a disclaimer. We should all be aware of limitations our aircraft have.
