Nice work, Pat. The drawn in lines really set the model off nicely.

I managed a couple of flights with the MIG today. I'm still getting the hang of landing it, but that is strictly a pilot confidence issue and nothing to do with the plane.
I'm using Admiral 5000 batteries with my timer set to 3 minutes. Today I had to go around twice after the timer went off, so I was up close to 4 minutes and still had 37% of the battery left.
I have to give Freewing a tip o the hat on their robust landing gear. I have set this plane down hard a couple of times, but everything seems to be holding up well.4 Photos

We just had our annual Jet Rally here in Mesa, AZ. This is the time of year when we can get out and fly all day long without having to worry about our batteries (or ourselves for that matter) overheating. Beautiful weather this past weekend, and I got a bunch of flights on the Mig. Many compliments every time it flew, and I think MRC is going to sell out of the current stock pretty quickly based on the number of guys that told me they want to buy one.1 PhotoPat

Wow that's a very striking photo, Pat! I really like those bold colors on this sinister looking aircraft.Live Q&A every Tuesday and Friday at 9pm EST on my Twitch Livestream

Thanks Alpha. I really like the way this one came out. When I was repainting the green (Testors rattle can over previously hand-painted acrylic), I just lightly sprayed so that the finish would look a little uneven, as if the paint was sun faded. In the bright sunlight, it really stands out as can be seen in that pic. Now to just "dirty" it up some more.Pat

I love these! To me the beauty of the MiG-21 is in its menacing simplicity. Camo'd up or stark silver like this North Vietnamese scheme (which is amazing in person when you see the detail Xplaneguy put into the shading) or bright red or any other color scheme in between, this aircraft at any angle just seems to whisper "Game over." Cold war brute at its best! Keep the pictures coming!Live Q&A every Tuesday and Friday at 9pm EST on my Twitch Livestream
