MiG-29 Aggressive Non-Vectored Flights! ✈️ HD 60fps

Aggressive flight session with the Freewing MiG-29 and a slightly windy weather. Here I was pushing the envelope 'a bit' and not all maneuvers came out super-nice and smooth but you know... finessing the technique requires practice! :p These were Anežka's flights 113th to 116th.

I was concerned about the structural integrity of the stabs, and stab assembly so I did reinforce them with glass fiber cloth, which is part of the reason why it took me so long to get the jet ready. I'm not a fan of working with composite materials so I procrastinated a bit, lol. After my reinforcement mods, the stabs seem to be much more solid now. 💕 I took many of the 'well-known' ideas and good practices about this model recommended by other pilot-owners on forums such as RCGroups and Hobbysquawk including adding reflex to the flaps and ailerons to maximize top speed and reduce trim drag (unloading the stabs in the process quite a bit) and I replaced the taileron servos by tougher ones, and the taileron linkages by 4-40 pushrods, and FWIW, also installed ferrite chokes on the ESCs leads to the rx as well as the taileron servo leads (to mention a few of the changes). I also made my own 'quite personal' installation of the electronics and basically rewired the whole thing, changed the placement of the components, added a 20A UBEC, redundancy bus, 2x X8R receivers, the list goes on. All in all the jet is a superb flier and has an incredible presence. It has some thrustline issues and it is still nose heavy with CG some 15mm behind the wing marks. Good news is, I managed to get the CG there with my heavy Panther Li-Po packs, and before installing thrust vectoring gear, so there's much room for improvement! *GEAR DESCRIPTION* Airplane: Freewing MiG-29 dual 80mm EDF Motors: 2x Freewing 3658-1920kV brushless inrunners EDFs: 2x Freewing 80mm (9 blades) ESCs: 2x Freewing 100A Servos: Freewing 17g Taileron servos: Replaced by Corona DS-238MG Receivers: 2x FrSky X8R working in D16 mode, one with telemetry Redundancy bus: FrSky RB16 UBEC: YEP 20A Rx Battery: Rhino 2S 610mAh Main Batteries: - Turnigy Panther 6S 5000mAh 75C - Turnigy Nanotech 6S 5000mAh 35-70C - Turnigy Nanotech 6S 4000mAh 70C If you dearly enjoy my content, please consider supporting me on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/Airguardian I'd feel really grateful that you take some time to SHARE this video with your friends, LIKE and off course, SUBSCRIBE and ring the bell! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My secondary aviation YouTube channel: (For vlogging and RC tutorials and weird stuff that I think has no place in my main channel) https://www.youtube.com/RC4ever My AIRSOFT YouTube channel: (Mostly airsoft gameplays) https://www.youtube.com/airguardianairsoft --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can also follow me on: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RC4ever Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/RC4Media Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/Airguardian Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Airguardian
