Official Freewing 80mm MiG-21 Fishbed Thread

[Alpha]

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.

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

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

[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.

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

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?

[dkalwishky]

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]

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.

[dkalwishky]

Found it.

Got my shipping notice. Woo hoo!

[gooniac33]

Got my shipping notice. Woo hoo!

got mine too!!!

[crxmanpat]

Mine arrives on Friday, maiden on Saturday!

[crxmanpat]

So mine arrives on the 23rd, exactly 2.5 months from the day I pre-ordered it. Not too shabby. Although it seems like the wait has been much longer! :p

[dkalwishky]

Mine is out for delivery, this is going to be one LONG day of waiting for 5pm. :)

[crxmanpat]

I'm going to work hard tomorrow night to get mine done for a Saturday maiden. I also just bought the 80mm Mirage NIB from a local buddy and need to put that together too.

[Arcangel]

Ahhhhh, mine does not get here until Monday :(

Which means I have to wait a week before I can build her and fly her. Hopefully by then I can have the thrust vectoring of my FreeWing F-18 ironed out. The servos do some weird stuff when I engage the T V + dual rates on my DX-18 radio and they never center properly after I disengage it. I hope a swap out for Hi-Tec digital servos and some pre-installation programing will fix my issues.

[crxmanpat]

The Mig has arrived and has already been assembled and prepped for maiden tomorrow morning! I'm going to use a Turnigy 6S 5000 40-50C in it. I have a regular pack, and a Heavy Duty 60C.
