The Shockwave 3 system sounds INCREIDBLE in the new Mig-29 from Freewing! Over 116 aircraft sounds to select from and growing. Jets and props, modern to classic, this sound system has it all. I originally bought this set for my Draken kit, but swapped the sound on the card and will run it in my Mig-29 until my second Shockwave gets here. Loud and accurate startup, shutdown, afterburner, as well as gun and rocket sound options. This beautiful jet is so much more realistic with the sounds.

Attn. future Fulcrum flyers! A few years ago I worked at Paine Field in Everett, Wa. There, the late Paul Allen has his aircraft collection. One of them is a MIG-29 that I was fortunate enough to watch fly. The down side is that it is a two seat trainer. None the less most of the details are the same. I am placing a link here that has some action videos to include a very well recorded start up sequence. So you guys that need an accurate sound bite for your'e on board system here you go....https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zon...um-jet-fighter

I used a WBPU product coating back in the day on one of my older Su-35s but it quickly yellowed with age and sun exposure.
Most of these mentioned WBPU brands are not readily available in Europe so if anyone knows of a comparable WBPU being sold in the EU that is UV-resistant and doesn't quickly yellow out... I'm all ears!

They were laughing at the fact I kept pulling planes out of the “clown car”I solemnly swear to "over-celebrate" the smallest of victories.~Lucky B*st*rd~

Maiden done tonight on mine and Jeremys jet.
Then immediately went live on FB MRC CC and did a formation flight. Awesome pics of my maiden and some formation.
Flew BOTH jets on the stock 17g servos, flys fantastic on them. My jet is rocking the RCGeek centerburners and the ModelSoundsInc Shockwave 3 sound system.
Will upload the formation flight to YouTube tomorrow.

Even for subsequent flights I have not been using flaps for takeoff, it gets off of grass so easily I figure there's no need. That's rare for grass operations, even the AL37 - which i class as the second best grass ops EDF after this Mig - has improved takeoff performance with flaps deployed.
I have the full and half flap settings called out in the manual. Always do. They slow the plane up great and will be a good starting point for you IMO (although I still say dont maiden with flaps lol).

No elevator/flap mix is required, but I flew mine with +4% elevator at half flaps, and +10% at full and liked it there.
I fly slower than most people will on final though.

Book settings, half flaps taking off and all my landings so far with half flaps. I did a very very small up elevator mix. I also have tailerons, full span flaps, crow and rudder air brakes on mine.

Good video. I like that you attached the pushrod from the top of the servo horn. In case the clip comes off it won't immediately fall out. The book setting is not +/- 1mm, it says 1mm of up from the bottom edge. At the factory balance mine was more like 3-4mm. I'm flying on the stock 17g servo on the inner hole and ATVs at 120.
