My lack of research and taking to time to recheck cg crashed this plane!

[@garyrussell7076]

Good vibes. I like the way you put them together. Keep up the good reviews. 🎉

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

I appreciate that!

[@daniele.markle6428]

Looks more authentic with that damage, none of the old Russian planes in service nowadays are in pristine shape.

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

Will probably end up flying better too!

[@Danpstew1]

Nice looking plane ! I really like this MIG 25. glad you gave it a second flight ! Salute !

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

Thanks, further flights are needed.

[@toolbaggers]

If the gear deploys rearward (like this plane,) which moves the cg back, balance the plane with the gear down. If lowering the gear moves the cg forward (like a P-40,) balance the plane with the gear up.

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

I normally do both . But this one is a bit tricky.

[@Mightymouserc]

That’s a nice looking airplane nicely done 👍

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

Many thanks!

[@txkflier]

I don't know about flying better after a repair, but you're less worried about tearing it up. I would have used clear Gorilla glue or Bob Smith Industries BSI-142 Clear Foam-Cure..

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

LOL I did actually use clear gorrilla glue but I had lost some foam not structurally sound now to support the servo in the nose I am afraid. I may just end up with a new fuse if not a new frame. Really like the plane and not ready to give up on it.

[@toolbaggers]

@@FatGuyFliesRC You should use BBQ skewers and toothpicks as rebar when making repairs if the foam gets too squishy after a crash.

[@Mikeylikesit1968]

I had that same jet and was a awesome flyer. I flew mine on a 6s 4000mah. I wish I never sold it

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

I am going to beg BH for a ARF pro and just swap out the power system.

[@elwoodkotil2538]

Real nice! Shoulda got a Flex!

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

i may still but many projects ahead of that now not to mention the money.

[@elwoodkotil2538]

You with your unique flying style would be better off with a 4 cell Extra! Trust me on that!

[@AerialRCFun]

Kinda looked like aft cg and got into alpha lock.

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

Exactley

[@M4rkmcc21]

I wanted to like this plane. Its different. But I think Arrows and Eflite done a better job with the Mig29, F15 and A10 if you want a twin 64mm in the hanger. If they made it a twin 70 and larger id probably get myself one as i like how the Battery location is pretty much in the middle so easy to adjust. Not up front in the neck of the fuse.

[@Mikeylikesit1968]

All those planes you talking about are all made by FMS . Some how I think these Flyfans are as well cause many things on there jets are the same

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

Mikeylikest1968 is right FMS is the parent company to most planes in china. X-fly is separate but made up of ex FMS designers and techs.

[@215cyclone]

~Not sure if you were trying to put down elv to save it from stalling. Needed airspeed, Great videos....

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

I wanted it to dive with enough altitude to pick up speed but with that sudden shift to rear it was not possible.

[@Mikeylikesit1968]

It does have one thing it don't like and it's crosswinds , it gets wonky on landing

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

Yeah that narrow gear but tough gear.

[@notbadgerbutrich]

When I fly anything that scares the living sh£t out of me I just fly it the once or fly something else for a break. The problem is the more you force it the worse it becomes. Really the model has been released too soon had it been fitted with in 64mm runners it might have been successful, just bad luck

[@toolbaggers]

If you only left the pitot tube on, the cg would have been just enough more forward to make an emergency landing. lol jk

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

Yes that .0001 gram would have done the trick...lol

[@rpmflyboy]

Where did you get a 115mm cg? Everything I've seen is 125 - 127mm including the manual.

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

After thus video I realized my error. I actually think it's more like 130 or 128. I meant to have it further back not forward. But regardless my maiden was WAY tail heavy and I crashed her. Many mistakes were made.

[@rpmflyboy]

If it flew badly tail heavy @ 125mm didn't you move the cg forward? Mine appears to be severely tail heavy @ 125mm and more neutral at 115mm.@@FatGuyFliesRC

[@dalebrown6460]

Not underpowered. The CG shifted and you gave it up elevator by mistake then changed rates. CG very crucial on this type. Very sorry bro. Hate it when this happens.

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

No it was the cg had shifted like you said. not underpowered
