Your Mig is definitely First Class. Would love to see what it looks like in the air with photos or a video!

Shame on you Motion RC .Europe must be the poor cousin ,it has been In Stock in the USA now for ages .but a no show over here in Europe .Still the good news is it has saved me £600 to spend on something else

Full agreement, the MOTION RC's pathetic approach to European customers. One year since the model was released, zero information. Likewise, I lost all hope and intend to buy Mig from Arrows Hobby. .

It's a fact of life where the HQ is for a given company as far as RC hobby is concerned. Let me give you an example of SebArt in Italy. They do have a US distributor but that distributor has very little in the way they can get stuff done with SebArt-Italy. So in this vain, SebArt's approach to N. American customers is pathetic. It has nothing to do with the "manager". It is what it is and I don't go screaming naked in the streets trashing SebArt's sense of priority to us. I had to go to Austria to import my SebArt Mig because their US people wouldn't or couldn't do it. In the case of the FW Mig29, people in Europe also have the choice of getting one from RC Castle (when they get stock back). RCC will ship anywhere.

The ArrowsRC MiG29 is an excellent model with no tendency to self destruct when you lower the flaps.
If that hasn’t been confirmed, then the analysis is probably moot.

Would be interesting if the aeronautical engineers out there on this thread would make an analysis / comparison of the FW and Arrow designs and attempt to figure out why not. Assuming someone has confirmed that flying the Arrow MiG fast with flaps down doesn’t cause lawn darting, FFS downward bending, servo lock, etc.
If that hasn’t been confirmed, then the analysis is probably moot.

The design differences that I see:
The entire tail section and stab. axle mounting is much stiffer and not prone to distortion.
The FFS pivot line is not so far forward, relative to the CP of the surface.
The thrust line is not angled relative to the fuselage datum.
Obviously smaller and lighter. Not sure that this is important, but it is a difference.
Just as with the FW MiG, most of us find that moving the CG back improves its flying.

I have the ArrowsRC MiG. It doesn't do anything weird when the flaps are lowered at speed. Neither does it alpha-lock.
