Freewing MiG-29 Fulcrum Digital Camo Twin 80mm EDF Jet SHAKEDOWN

[@pokemountain518]

Nice can’t wait for mine like a kid on Christmas lol!!!

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

Its true! the elevator servos are being replaced with higher torque servos from motion rc. The originals stall out and cause crashes due to no elevator control! .I too Received the email from Motion. Servos are being sent free of charge. =) 1

RCPlaneReviewer think they would have learned after the F18

[@alphamrc309]

Looking good, Ryan! We've had dozens of pilots successfully maidening their MiG-29s over the past day, but based on one customer's report this afternoon, I'm sure by now you've seen the email we sent to everyone who received a MiG-29 this week. Basically, we decided next week to send out Freewing's newly finished upgraded servo to all of you, free of charge, and upgrading the rest of the incoming MiGs and future aircraft as well. Not because I think the model needs it (most of us have had no issues), but because Freewing wanted to build in even more headroom on the elevator in anticipation of people planning heavier packs, 8s+ systems, thrust vectoring, turbine conversions, etc. We're happy to add some extra peace of mind for our customer family.

[@alphamrc309]

By the way, slick landing, as others have said! You're right, I think you'll like the 5000 better than that fat pack. I prefer flying mine on lighter packs (4000-5000), sans ordnance.

[@JeffsCustomRC]

WOW!!! Now that’s customer service!! Put mine together last night but will wait time fly until I get new seevos installed. Thanks so much ALPHA and Motion RC for having our backs👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼🔥🔥👍🏼👍🏼💥

[@JohnVHRC]

Alpha MRC great work Alpha!

[@PilotRyanMedia]

Everybody knows at this point I default to nose heavy on first flights. It wasn’t by too much forward of the cg marks. I flew it also on 5000s and even 7000s on the back two positions off camera after this flight. I’m actually in agreement on the book rates with this one. I wouldn’t want less than 80% throw on this bird. Looking forward to more flights. Stellar product size and over all experience.

You mean like the F-14, too? :)

If you've flown a jet, I bet this will fly lovely for you. Its a big bird. If you got the packs, I bet it is worth the money to us RC junkies.

[@davidsnyder238]

Sweet! Looks like it has great presence in the air and totally dialed in. Great maiden, looking forward to more!

Amazing flight Ryan .it actually sound great for an inrunner . Still waiting for mine might take longer then expected but worth it. And even without gyro it felt really smooth out there.

[@dazspurs9899]

A plane of this size and weight only needs a gyro in a +10mph otherwise its good to go without it

[@Rider95king]

@@dazspurs9899 well I don't use gyro mostly but sometimes if you let a new flyer to fly then it is safe to put on gyro.

Great flight my friend with perfect landing. Would love to have this baby someday in my hangar. Thanks for posting and big salute from Slovenia, Pilot Robert

[@DreamsOverTheRockies]

Nice. I totally destroyed my Arrows MIg 29 on its maiden today. Turning from long downwind to base...with the late afternoon sun, I couldn't tell if the plane was turning toward me properly and I tried to correct..stalled and crashed hard. Next plane I'm painting so I know which side I'm looking at.

[@DreamsOverTheRockies]

This is the second plane I crashed because of a late or early sun. No more flying for me at these times.

[@DreamsOverTheRockies]

Too much red white and blue on both sides.

[@Triplethreatindustries]

Would love to see you guys start selling turbine setups . Motion has the BEST customer service I have seen in my 27 years in RC…. So thank you for that ! Maybe if motion got involved with turbines you could help bring the cost down so not just the sponsored or very well off could start to experience the sound, performance, and absolutely stunning sound of turbine jets. Thanks for all the great vids and piloting . Best regards.

[@PilotRyanMedia]

Look at hsd jets at Bitgo hobby and hsd jets USA best affordable way to get into turbines. I left motion almost 3 years ago

Nice

[@artmechanic]

I received mine a few days ago. I'm not going to fly it before I get the replacement elevator servos. You tube is starting to show a number of disturbing crashes.

[@PilotRyanMedia]

thats a good call. I didn't know until afterwards.

[@siang076]

did you upgrade your ele servos?

not yet, didn't know about it at the time

[@calircpilot4261]

Awesome MiG 29, do you mind sharing your thoughts comparing this jet against the Arrows twin 64 mig 29 ?

[@CarlosRodriguez-qr3yq]

Motion RC definitely redeemed themselves from that poorly designed F-18 90 mm which everyone was crashing due to the weak elevator linkage design. Motion RC is back on the map with this one. Awesome flight Ryan.

Dude great landing... how you like this compared to the SU-30??

[@DEADSTICKRC]

Jeremy Sean this flys light and lands a little better. Only down fall is burning up 2 packs at once. Totally worth it though! Sooo fun!

[@jsean13]

BobbyK that’s why I’ll be buying the Gripen instead... cashing two batteries on one flight just bothers me! Awesome vid!!!

[@SquawkVFRC]

Nice one Ryan! Just with the developments is that MiG stock? As in the new servos aren’t in the elevators?

[@JoshWeaverRC]

Yeah, it is stock. The servos will do fine, but MRC is sending stronger ones to make sure they are fine.

Hopefully you seen what motion has sent out about the mig before it crashes ryan ! There replacing the elevator servos !

Thanks yes I’ve seen the bulletin, after I filmed this lol

[@fogcityrc4874]

that was so sweet. Awesome!

Ryan. You still think for example 6s 5000s can be in the front and back compartments? A lot of people are saying use the middle...what you think? Thanks

[@PilotRyanMedia]

I do, however you have to do what’s right for ya. I like my stuff just a touch in the noseheavy side. I think they feel better and behave more predictable

[@jettechdonatkins]

great job Ryan! Like this one a lot,but want to see if the electronics hold up before getting one.Wanting a few edfs to add to my hangar,as I have catching up to do because of having that darn stroke this year,but will enjoy hitting the button as soon as decide on which to by.Which Futaba are you using,and how do you like it,I need a new transmitter,as sold my dx8 gen2 to my brother,because I wasn't flying this year yet,can't decide on looking for a nice dx20 gen 2 or a 12-14 channel Futaba ,thanks brother! great job on camera Bobby!

[@PilotRyanMedia]

I'm using the Futaba 8j on this one but I love my dx9 as well

[@canamwing6999]

What's the best way to get those decals off?

[@paulrkytek6587]

Great video I can relate to the scale of your flying field in relation to my other planes and my club field. The elevator servos in the spares section of the Motion r.c. website appear to be the same as the SU35 and many people already swapped those out, especially with the TV version. I am assuming the tail area and forces are already bigger than the SU35 and under much more load ( cant do the maths guys just looking at the visual size comparison ) so did someone miss a trick here? having said that it is an awesome Mig 29 and I am sure the maths worked out for normal flying but I just wouldnt be pushing it until the uprated servos arrive. I have an overcautious nature and I held off on the pre order and I think I will give it a few months to see if anything else emerges before deciding to buy or not, I have plenty of other Freewing jets to fly in the meantime.

Great video/ plane/ flight! etc. should a voltage regulator be run instead of a BEC on a plane that expensive? so if the speed control goes then you still have control of the plane.

[@canamwing6999]

I am confused about the CG. I see you have the battery in the forward compartment. All the other vides and manuals have the battery strapped to the upper deck. What's the deal?

[@PilotRyanMedia]

I also mention how I’m just a little forward of book recommendations. Which is how I default on maidens, just a bit noseheavy. I didn’t like doing a maiden in those conditions with both battery’s back. These were two 5500 roaring tops

[@salinecountyclay8199]

Pilot Ryan, Freewing is sending beefed up elevator linkage and 30 gram elevator servos, which is bigger than the upgrade servos they sent to all the original preorder folks, in their new shipments of Big 29s. Will you upgrade to the new heavy duty control rods and linkage along with the new 30g servos? I would like your opinion because I usually just do what you do. Thanks sir!
