I use this on almost every warbird and EDF. Full throws on everything, and then 45% Aileron, 60-65 Elevator, depends on the airframe, and 20% rudder, unless the ground handling is very sensitive, then go up from there, It works for me. Some guys say the elevator is too mushy in the corners, but you don't stall the tail with up stick.... And if you want to go crazy, or need more up, just pull!!! LOL

Hey fellas, was out out the field today ( grass ) and had an extremely difficult time getting this into the air, are you guys half full or no flapping this thing into the air? I've had it up before, but had a nice headwind, today was calm and it felt glued to the ground. Field is well manicured and smooth, another pilot with the Meteor and A10 has no problem getting up though.

On the Mig-21 thread on RCG I saw where someone added some small block's of wood under the nose gear mounting flanges to give it a little more positive incidence. They claim it makes a difference getting off of grass. You might want to look into it. I use half flaps and yes it takes a good distance to get airborne.

If any one is interested in getting to know the fishbed better from the pilots seat what better way than through a flight simulator when your not at the airfield.
I have found that the DCS simulator a great way to become more familiar with a particular aircraft's capabilities and limitations with out risking your own RC plane.
DCS is free to download and it includes an Su-25T and TF-51D. But additional aircraft can be bought and added and one of which is the Mig-21bis.
The main reason I am mentioning it now is because there is currently a 50% off summer sale going on till July 24.
So if you have a PC that meets the minimum requirements specs I highly recommend it.

Good morning to all,
I order my Mig21 today (will take some time to arrive) and it´s seems dificult to disassemble the wings for a easier transportation (it´s really very dificult to disassemble?); so i´m planning to use a MPX conector (cutting the servo wires) and conect both sides inside the fuselage (opening the window below the plane , where is possible to acess the ESC, conect the wires and close everytime)...my question is if it´s possible to pass the conector throug the fuselage hole normally where the servos wire are inserted?
I can also glue the MPX conector on the fuselage and on the wing but specially the wing servos, will need to be cut very short and honestly i don´t want in case something wron i´ll need to change the servos.
Thank you guys!

It´s not a motor bike but my car is so small that is almost a Harley ....
Regarding the length , no big deal actually, the jet will go in the passanger seat as usual..
Wings still a concern.
Thanks

Not that it's any great feat of engineering, but if anyone is interested in the .stl file for 3D printing, drop me a private message.
