Time to fly a fish! Freewing MiG-21 Fishbed 80mm

Another second hand airframe. Had my CG a bit far back on the maiden but have flown it a few times with the battery farther forward and she has been great!!

[@mattmathias8507]

Good job getting her down. I have one I haven't flown, gotta get to it!

[@dustinhiett9594]

It was a bit touchy on the elevator. I moved the battery forward a 1/4in move and now it’s fine. Thanks for encouraging words!!

[@Realitygetreal]

Sounds WAY cool

[@Royshanger]

That thing is wicked dude!

[@dustinhiett9594]

It is a blast to fly!

[@TomislavReskovic]

Nice!

[@dustinhiett9594]

My landings have gotten better on this plane.

[@henryairconcepts2999]

You landed on tail wind, that's why you came in hot

[@dustinhiett9594]

It was light and variable that day. Mostly a pilot error.

[@henryairconcepts2999]

I'm torn between Cougar and Fishbed. Which one you reckon I gotta get ?

[@dustinhiett9594]

@@henryairconcepts2999 I haven’t flown the Cougar but have only heard good things about it. I did lean that my CG was just fine on this plane, I just needed a little more expo as I was a bit nervous and twitchy on the thumbs. I have flown this bird a few more times and love the delta wing and high alpha it will do. Much better landings now too. 😁

Mine was exactly the the same to start with, the c of g seems really sensitive. All it took was to move the battery 10mm forward and it was transformed into a pussycat.

[@dustinhiett9594]

Spot on mate!

[@LoveRC]

Oh yeah!

[@dustinhiett9594]

It’s a great flyer. I’ve moved the battery forward just a touch and now she lands just fine.

[@artsmodelstation9396]

u have nice grass. i would of belly landed.

[@dustinhiett9594]

Would a, could a, should a, but it survived so all is good.

[@robertlawson1053]

I have about 5 flights on mine and it scares the be-jesus out of me. What is your best cg?

[@dustinhiett9594]

This maiden scared the pants off me.

[@charlesrestivo870]

High alpha it in Mine lands like a pussycat Have no downtrim on flaps

[@dustinhiett9594]

I need to fly mine more test out the high alpha aspect.

[@Realitygetreal]

Not Loving your flying site too many TREES

[@dustinhiett9594]
