Manfred, you could have waited until April 1st to post that reply ! I love "what if" color schemes.

More fun flying this weekend! Was able to get in a little formation flying with a really enthusiastic young pilot flying an Eflite P-51 as well! This thing really grooves now with the addition of the A3L!! So much smoother than before!

Does anyone know if the Admiral Carbon 5100mah 70C 6S will fit in this jet and will it balance out?

Back from my trip from the Father Land just yesterday, and therefore just saw your question posted.
Yes as George has already mentioned these fit great and had no differences in making efforts to re-trim the aircraft "no stabilizers" with the china hobbyline 55C Gplus series 5000mah and and admiral 70C 6s 5100mah.

Manfred, I like both of those color schemes but that "fake' F-6 Lightning is fantastic, it is one of those " why didn't I think of that " schemes but you had better hope that the scale police don't see it ! .

Did you know the RAF purchased 290 Mig 21s from the Russians? The lightning was a handful for expense and maintenance and they flew the 21s in certain squadrons

my flights from the last couple days.

Thank you sir... much appreciated. Now if they would only get them back in stock! :P

Found it...

On the Freewing Mig-21 a new Admiral Carbon 6S 5100mAh battery will CG at 265mm from the wing root if the battery is 210mm from the point where I measured from.

Yes, it will...I posted pictures in the Admiral Carbon 5100 thread.

Getting my MIG together and wanted to ask two questions:
Where is everyone measuring the throws on their ailerons and rudder control surfaces- at outside edge middle or closest to the fuselage?
I am going to run the RCGeek afterburner and JP electric brakes off of a 2s 800mah battery, those two working off of the same battery shouldn't be a problem should it?
Thank you in advance folks...

Welcome!!!! Glad you are on board. I didn't measure the throws on my bird. It flies great!! I do have expo on all surfaces.... Can't speak directly to the brake/AB, but I think the battery will be fine, and worst-case, if they fail, no harm to your bird!!! Jerry

Got two flights on mine yesterday! The gyro has made this thing so much more fun!!! Will share when they are uploaded

[MANFRED]

My newest work. Plus a little bit of Russian Collusion!!!

[gooniac33]

It has beena few weeks since I flew my Mig... time to get it back in the air!!

[cashmoneybrother]

I saw a fight of mig 21s flying over my kinder garden classroom back in 1976.. They looked so shiny... Soo i dicided to make mine a Cuban Mig

[cashmoneybrother]

This thing is fast out the box... Wings covered in aluminun with rivet details. K13 missiles are made with estes rockets and the fire!

[tengarang]

I use the spectrum 636 in almost everything..freakin incredible without dipswitches or trying to program them. Spent some time doing panel work today..you guys make some bad ass planes out of these EDFs. Inspired me a little. Have not got to the dark fade colors yet but it's coming along while I wait for a servo...lol

the 636 is what i use the most as well. Never had any issues with this receiver no matter what field i fly at (3 different fields). once setup properly these are top of the line, and ill equip them with the satellite for some added insurance although i never had a failure without one either.

[tengarang]

i just love the new spectrum receivers, been using them almost exclusively now , and loving the AS3x.
mig is gonna get the same treatment soon although the as3x is not needed at all in this model.
