OK here you go! This video was shot on Monday, we had what will probably be the last nice day until next April of May. Unfortunately Gooniac's afterburner didn't show up well in the daylight during the flight, partially because of the angle to the camera, but the video does include a shot on the ground which shows it off. This flight also includes "the sound" - my favorite thing to do with this plane is to make a high-speed dive and then cut the power - the result is a "compressor stall" that sounds TOTALLY cool, but is hard to get on the camera mike.... so here it is.
I also made a perfect landing - after trying and trying without a lot of success to get rid of the bounce, I finally did it. The solution for me was to mix in a little bit of up elevator with full flaps. I also increased the flap throw and replaced the original hard nose wheel with a soft foam one. Poof - problem solved, perfect landing!

Happy to see a thread on the Avios Mig-17 over here on HS. I'm "done" with the thread on RCG -- every second or third post is from the same jack*** (yes, I mean that) who posts his new videos flying his Mig irresponsibly (the way that is causing, and will continue to cause, all kinds of issues by the FAA for law-abiding AMA member flyers).
That said, here's my Mig 17. I replaced all the servos with Freewing hybrid metal gear. The inner doors worked -- until they became intermittent and I decided not to fool with them any longer, as I could barely tell if the wheels were covered or not in flight. All wheels are Freewing replacements (F-4 Phantom). 3D printed cockpit and pilot. New color scheme -- BEHR flat latex uppers, Testors silver (spray can) lowers. I did my own grahics in CorelDraw, printed out for me, as always, by Callie. My pitot tubes are partly 3D printed (tips and wing-nubs) with plastic straw in-between, in case they snag.
My latest lipo is the one suggested by The RC Geek -- Roaring Top, 6s, 6250mAh. So far I'm very impressed. Vertical is virtually unlimited (when it gets too high to see, that's high enough, right?).

MS, Bravo Zulu, Sir. It is inspiring to see talented modelers using 3DP, Corel, and whatever other tech is available to do such great work. Best as always, LBI solemnly swear to "over-celebrate" the smallest of victories.~Lucky B*st*rd~

MrS, that cockpit looks terrific. Great job on that, and the rest of the plane! It really looks sharp.Marc flies FW & FL: AL37, MiG-29, T45,F4, A4, A10, F104 70 and 90, P38, Dauntless SBD, Corsair, B17, B24, B26 & P61, Lipp.P19, ME262, Komets, Vampire, SeaVixen, FMS Tigercat, FOX Glider & Radian XL.

If anybody wants to pursue the cockpit files, I'll dig up the contact information.

Stoli would be easy to see, that's for certain. I would also like to see someone do a Red Bull version someday.

I meant to add some information on the 3D printed cockpit parts -- I purchased these files for a modest amount from

MrSmoothie, Your work is great, Sir. I have purchased a couple of Max Gruber's pilot file sets and his work is exceptional. Modding the prints is about as close as we're going to get to custom pilots in these smaller scales. Let's hope he'll continue to design as I'd like to see him do an "US Modern Jet Pilot". Best, LBI solemnly swear to "over-celebrate" the smallest of victories.~Lucky B*st*rd~

I didnt know there was a thread for this jet on here :)
Here's my non-scale mig-15 paint job on the Avios. Honestly the way this jet flies still scares me a little lol, she is far from the heaviest EDF i own but for some reason just feels like she is throwing her weight around more.
Looks good in the air and in the hangar though.
