Nice! And I see they finally made an official announcement about the FLRC Ta-152H1. That sucker looks like it really moves. Not a fan of sub-1400mm planes, but I might just have to get that one. I would expect it around Christmas I think.

Where did you see that? I cannot find it.

I called them a few hours ago, they were expecting them today. I assume that baring any problems they should be shipping this week. Woo hoo!!!

[crxmanpat]

MRC, any update on the ETA of the Mig? Right now it's saying this Thursday. Are you still hopeful that this is a good date?

• Vortex generators for low speed control,.....................can someone explain this to me, what are they, how do they work, can they be fitted to this mig, what do they look like, where do you put them?? a lot of questions, I KNOW, but I'm very curious about them., thanks..

Here's Doug's morning flight, stock outrunner. My F104 comes in tomorrow.

[crxmanpat]

Even though I have only flown this plane a couple times, I don't think a 5S lipo is going to work. You really need that 6th cell to get the right amount of power for flight.

Hello,
Will the stock setup work with a 5S 5000 Lipo? If yes, will it be too much of an RPM drop?
Thanks,

[AkumaZeto]

I might order the blue one as I have found someone willing to switch.

Hi AkumaZeto, we do not have any extra silver MiG-21 PNPs. Due to the modelʻs popularity we ordered as many as possible, but the entire first shipment still sold out completely. We do have a second shipment on order. In the meantime, I would recommend putting your email in the "Notify Me" field, to receive an email if anyone cancels their pre-order and the model is restocked then, or when the full second shipment is put on pre-order. Weʻre waiting until that second shipment is on the water, before we open the pre-order for it. Normally we donʻt pre-order second shipments, but given the many requests for those who missed out on the MiG-21 pre-order for both colors, weʻll offer up a pre-order opportunity again this time.

Thanks for the opportunity to earn your business.

[xplaneguy]

They have not arrived yet, possibly a week or two from now.

[AkumaZeto]

So did these come in then since other FW jets are back in stock? If so are there extras of the silver verison?

[wvrailfan]

Have you taken off and landed on grass? Since you opted for the bigger landing gear I'm hoping this Mig, like the prototype, can handle an unimproved runway;-)

What's the upgraded motor and EDF combo that's the ticket for this plane if staying on 6S? Is it a Jetfan with a HET or Neu motor the default choice?

Or, do you have to go 8S to get significantly improved thrust numbers over the 1800 - 1820kv 12-bladed Freewing offerings at reasonable amperage?

I'm new to EDF offerings outside of Freewing 1820kv inrunners.

Here's two photos of RC Pilot Evelyn with the new Freewing 80mm Mig-21 (Blue Scheme). Great job filming Alpha's flight Eve! :)

[Flygirl]

Nice "low" pass.... Hehehe! That thing sure looks like a winner.... I really want to get in to more EDFs than the two I have.
