Nice job Russ😊

[@ActionRC-Russ]

Thanks I been painting my jets for almost 2 years now and I have a good formula working now for edf jets, wait til you see what I have coming.

[@ActionRC-Russ]

Looking forwardnto seeing you at JOC this May I will be there all week covering the event! Let's do a video of that new yellow turbine you got! All the details on your setup!! Love that jet bro!

Check two things: 1. Gear fully glued in 2. Fan nut fully secured and loctited Was flying mine off grass and the gear ripped out on landing after about a dozen flights. They were not glued in very well. Also had the fan spin off on throttle up after about 20 flights. Fortunately it happened on the ground during throttle up before take off. Minor foam damage in the duct but had to replace the fan as a blade broke off. Contacted Banana on both instances but they didn't offer any help. Also, the ESC doesn't like HVLi batteries so I use only regular lipos. Other than that great flying EDF.

Thanks for the input, I was given this as a gift and it's discounted so I am gonna take special care of it, wait til you see the new 90mm F18 video series coming!

​@ActionRC-Russ Nope just backordered

Great video. Nice paint scheme on your Mig17. Are you using acrylic or what kind of paint.. and did you just paint over the stickers or your remove it then paint. I have an old Freewing Mig 21 in silver, and thinking about giving it some camouflage. Thanks.

Thanks for watching , I was given this jet as a gift and it was beat up , now understand I paint all my jets camo , so I chose a sceme of a real one and with this one, I used Krylon rattle can camo colors, first and only time I have , otherwise I airbrush my jets. And then apply a matte finish hardener to protect it , then ,calle graphics for the decals and then another coat of hardener to protect them , and that's what I did with this Mig. It's a great jet to fly at events. Subscribe and like for more stuff I have coming out soon to the channel, Russ !

[@Mikeylikesit1968]

Not discontinued, just backordered

[@ActionRC-Russ]

@@Mikeylikesit1968 I wonder how long it will be til they actually get new jets in? If you are a fan of the mig , this is a sweet jet. I sure do enjoy flying this thing. Thanks for watching Russ

[@JetXtremeRC]

Nice!! what wheels are you using? any modification required to fit those in?

[@ActionRC-Russ]

No they came stock with the jet. Glad this jet is getting attention, just the paint gives it a killer look. Russ

[@JetXtremeRC]

@@ActionRC-Russ yeah man love mine. Beautiful flyer!

[@JetXtremeRC]

Man love the pilot figure and cockpit. Can you please share some info

[@ActionRC-Russ]

I did another video for this mig and did a part about the pilot for you, and the 3d parts. Look for it soon to be released

[@JetXtremeRC]

@@ActionRC-Russ Awesome. Your Mig looks sweet. Thanks man!

[@BadFishRacing1967]

I wonder why they discontinued this jet already.

[@ActionRC-Russ]
