Hey, guys, I'm a prop warbirder, but I want to move into jets, eventually getting the Freewing Me-262 and 80mm A-10. The UMX A-10 is the only EDF I've flown. I fly on a grass field (private airstrip). I'm currently debating between the Freewing 80mm F-86 and the MiG-21 as my entry jets. Would appreciate your opinions, recommendations on this subject.
Thanks,

i've watched Ryan's and a few other MiG-21 videos and am pretty impressed with the slow-speed capabilities. On the negative side, i am a bit worried that it may be hard to keep the Fishbed's aspect/attitude straight, if it gets a little way out from me, but most of my sleek warbirds at that way. I'm liking the bigger size of the Fishbed, compared to the F-86.
Ryan was flying with an Eagle gyro. Does the Fishbed need a gyro? If so, that'd be a problem because I'm flying with a DX6 and would be out of channels for the on/off gyro switch.

I've been fortunate to test fly the new Avanti S, and without a doubt, it would be the clear choice as a first EDF! As long as a scale jet isn't your number one priority? I love the F-86 but on grass I'd been concerned about the retracts holding up over time. The Mig-21 is great on grass with it's trailing link gear but would not recommend it as a first EDF jet.

I'd originally planned on the F-86, but then the comment was made that the F-86 gear is weak, and that I should consider the Fishbed. We already have a few F-86s at our field, and I'm thinking that we need a classic Soviet jet to prowl the skies. :)

Well, I finally got to see one of these fly in the flesh yesterday. One of my clubmates turned up with one. No wonder you guys rave about this jet, what a great flyer. Can't believe how light it weighs, no wonder it lands so soft too. High alpha low passes are a breeze. I've been wanting one of these since it came out (mig 21 fan), but I've bought too many planes already this year. Guess I'm going to have to find room for one more. :rolleyes:
Pretty impressed after seeing it fly. :)
