High-Alpha Fun! - Freewing MiG-29 Fulcrum Twin 80mm EDF Jet Flight - Motion RC

[@MotionRC]

Remember, more flights that are referenced are coming over the next few days and weeks. Stay tuned!

[@MotionRC]

@Team HI TECH - Kaushik & Rohith many things. 1 is larger mAh lipos, we have a video where we fly on 5100mAh and fly for close to 6 minutes. But also throttle management. On this flight we were playing with slow flight which consumes more battery. This wasn't a flight where we werent doing normal style flying

[@MotionRC]

@Team HI TECH - Kaushik & Rohith flight times and battery sizes are on a bell curve. Eventually you get to a point where too much weight will decrease flight time. We've flown it on 6000 packs (video coming soon) and pushed over 7 minutes. But not sure on that battery size

[@MotionRC]

@Team HI TECH - Kaushik & Rohith not sure how you mean, but edfs used to be the case where 3 minutes was excellent, but the flight time on this size EDF jet is pretty revolutionary. Other twin edfs of this size don't fly nearly as long

[@MotionRC]

@Team HI TECH - Kaushik & Rohith the mig-29 is about 9lbs 4oz without a battery

[@MotionRC]

@Team HI TECH - Kaushik & Rohith yes you can definitely fit a small FPV camera in the canopy

[@Airguardian]

Nice! My 2 cents: Next time you may want to try high alpha with flaps up though... Flaps-down limits the 'stable envelope' of the jet when building up AoA. With flaps up you will likely be able to achieve stable sustained high alpha at higher angles of attack with less wing-rocking ;)

[@MotionRC]

We will definitely get better with each video. Want to give this model it's due with more flights and getting more comfortable as we go. It's scary when you have the only one in the states

[@Airguardian]

@@MotionRC I can imagine... gotta keep it in one piece! :p Practicing the maneuvers at a safety altitude as you are doing is the right thing to do, could even go higher just in case when testing things like that. I'm just voicing ideas ;)

[@MotionRC]

@@Airguardian totally, but it seems people are expecting us to Cobra inches off the runway on the first video...I wish ;)

[@Airguardian]

@Motion RC That would certainly NOT be wise! 😂

[@DavesRc]

Hey James thanks for the flight videos on the product. Patrick thankyou sir for such an awesome demonstration of this beautiful jet. Thumbs up all around.

[@MotionRC]

Glad you enjoyed it Dave. More to come

[@MrAxel1666]

4 minutes of pure power Fun!! I want it, i want it now😍😍😍😍

[@MotionRC]

This flight was fun to watch. As we take her out more we'll keep getting more dangerous.

[@215cyclone]

Nice ! Any chance to see a 70mm version of this jet ?

[@MotionRC]

I doubt it, would be too similar to this. We tend not to do the same edf 1 size up or down. When we do usually its a 2 size difference so like we have some 64mm and 80mm or some 70mm and 90mm etc.

[@215cyclone]

Motion RC I think a twin 64mm would be a head turner ! Has that been done before. I’m sure they would sell out :)

[@JeffsCustomRC]

Great flying guys, love this jet, oh wait...I have one on the way😬😝👊🏼👊🏼🔥🔥🔥👍🏼👍🏼

[@MotionRC]

Nice, make sure she gets out of the box ;)

[@JeffsCustomRC]

Motion RC oh no you didnt😖

[@janmb]

Looks promising indeed CG a fair bit more aft, and tailerons should make this really interesting :)

[@MotionRC]

Definitely. We will build to that. Take this one nice and slow 😄

[@janmb]

@@MotionRC As we all should ;)

[@ArthurRC]

Awesome awesome 👏🏻 just can’t wait to receive mine...😂 that thing is a beast but an efficient beast 🤩

[@MotionRC]

Thanks Arthur-RC, your gonna love it

[@ArthurRC]

Motion RC oh yeah for sure 🥰

[@SkipBuiltRC]

This jet has slots for high alpha, why use flaps? I would tend to think that flaps would make it harder to get a really high alpha

[@racerx600rr]

It does not have slats. Only flaps

[@MotionRC]

Patrick beat me to it. Yeah Skip, no slats on this model. Check the assembly video link in the description

[@goenelli992]

Was the lower weight of the 4000 battery noticeable? Or does the extra weight of the 5100 battery not affect the aircraft?

[@racerx600rr]

Adding weight always effects the feel but she flies great on 5100 and 4000 and even 6000!

[@MotionRC]

racerx600rr is Patrick from the video BTW. I also flew it today on 5100 and 4000 and it is slightly noticeable but didn't change how I flew it other than landing time

[@goenelli992]

@@MotionRC Thank you

[@screamingsavage001]

Can you do a F22 this size with thrust vectoring and lights and slime light??

[@MotionRC]

We certainly can, but that would be down the line as our 90mm F-22 is fairly new and widely loved. But as we always like to say, everything is coming eventually

[@1009wlwilling]

Does the ARF come with the missiles? What color schemes are available?

[@MotionRC]

All the product pages are in the video description . But yes the ARF comes with missiles and this is the only scheme available, but the tiger tail is a decal option in the box. It comes with just digital camo tail flashes

[@scotabot7826]

Nice slow flight videos, but there is no "high alpha" flight in this video. Really cool looking Mig, that looks like it's well behaved!

[@MotionRC]

James, did you use book CG for that high Alpha flight or 10mm aft?

[@MotionRC]

All book CG, all the time from us.

[@ArthurRC]

Motion RC all right and do you think she can fly even more high alpha with a bit aft CG?

[@MotionRC]

@@ArthurRC surely, like most jets, but we weren't going to play with the CG just yet.

@@MotionRC If I get into Jets. I 'll blame you for this. Seriously though, If these Foamies keep advancing, I can see them leave Balsa and monokote idling in the chocks.

[@chrisklueppel83]

Hi, you made it wrong for the high alphas. You used positiv flaps, a positiv flap changes the airfoil-chord, so in general, the nose wants to go down, the normal angle of attack is arrount 5° of the airfoil-chord to the airflow. So if you use positiv flaps, you can't get the nose realy high, stall-angle is fixed to the chord-angle, not the fuselage. 2. a postitiv Flap reduces the max. angle of attack before stall So, use negativ Flaps: - The nose will pitch up, because of the "new" airfoile-chord - You can reach much higher angles, because the stall will be at much higher angles of attack (alpha) Positiv Flaps are only good, if you are slow and you need more lift, for climbing in thermals (I do real sailplane gliding as well), but if you are to fast, the produce more drag than lift.

[@MotionRC]

Thanks for the comment but I've never seen this attempted with an EDF jet before. Would love to see it

[@racerx600rr]

Critical angle of attack ( angle at which the wing stalls) does not change with flaps, only with slats. Since this model does not have slats adding flaps does not affect the ability to reach critical AOA but does add lift and drag enabling the aircraft to turn and descend into our field.

[@chrisklueppel83]

@@MotionRC I fly my 90mm Freewing with negativ flaps in high alpha and it flys realy nice in this konfig and I can lift the nose more. After a Grass-Landing the nose gear is broken and I build up an F-14 at the moment, so the F-16 has to wait

[@chrisklueppel83]

@@racerx600rr if the angle of attack in accordance to the profile chord changes, maybe you are true, but an airfoul with a lower airfoil chord will react better to a stall, but other problem. In general, yes, flaps produces more lift and drag, perfect for landing and slow fly bys, but not for high-alpha-maneuvers, if the fuselage is the reference. If you want to show, how slow you can fly her, than, positiv flaps and nose high as possible is ok!

[@RobertBulko]

Well guys, it was very low "High" Alpha. What about 45°? ;)

[@MotionRC]

Again, we only just got the bird, feeling her out and will have more videos coming in the future as we get more comfortable.

[@RobertBulko]

@@MotionRC I understand but do you want to do it right or fast? ;) I know people are asking and they are curious about capabilities of this beautiful new bird and you are so kind to show them something asap but calling that High Alpha is a joke for me and in my eyes it downgrades whole thing. I would call it slow fly by. :)

[@MotionRC]

@@RobertBulko well, I wouldn't consider this doing it fast, this is the start of a progression. Shes capable of of a great deal and we will get there. But we love showing honest flights from a great pilot.

[@RobertBulko]

@@MotionRC It looks like she really flies nice with 4000 (I mean when doing circles around like in the video) and 4 mins flight time is good, too. Landings look very nice. I'm very curious about maneuvers like the cobra, kulbit, flat spin, tail slide. Others like rolls, loops, inverted flights are just a routine not very interesting stuff. She is a real dogfighter. Anyway, she looks perfect. ;) While reading other pilots comments I feel like an extra ordinary one. Am I only one who expect something more than just simple park flyer style flying? You know this is the MiG-29. ;) I'm looking forward to see another videos. :)

[@MotionRC]

@@RobertBulko well eventually try it, but if you haven't seen the other vids, we will be releasing a TV unit accessory for this jet which would allow it to become even more manueverable.
