Hopefully will maiden tomorrow if the weather cooperates.

Headed to Paint!
Just finished the build of our latest RCPowers Mig-29v4 with NAMC modifications. I was thinking of calling this one the RCP Mig-35 NAMC? I shot a quick walk around video highlighting some of the modifications. I plan on a PowerPoint style video explaining the modifications and highlighting some build techniques.
Hopefully will maiden tomorrow if the weather cooperates.

Awesome video as always, Stephan, very informative and detailed and much easier to follow than some of my "ramble fests" on the blog. Your build is exceptionally smooth and looks amazing, great job! I love the Mig35 NAMC nomenclature, since it does look much more like a Mig35 than the Mig29. I'll keep calling my current one the Mig29 V4M3e3 just so folks don't get more confused on the blog... :) As always I learned a couple things like the shaped canopy that I will utilize in my next Mig build.
ReplyDeleteI actually have the FRC Su35 MK2 plans out and I'm drawing lines for the mods on that now, slow process but coming along. It will be "proof of concept" once again of the ideas we have borrowed and share that just work so well on these park jets.
I'm stoked to hear your post flight report to see how you feel about this new NAMC version of the Mig. I'm sure people that follow the blog are also looking for some fresh stuff rather than listening to me go on and on about how great it is... :)
Good luck with the maiden and once again, awesome build and video!
Cheers,
Scott
I look forward to the Su35 with a horizontal stabilizer like the v4. Flying it side by side with the full elevon Su35 should confirm that the single greatest change in the v4 resulting in improved flight characteristics was the addition of the horizontal stabilizer. Quantitative analysis rather than qualitative BS!

Glassing the vertical fins is a great idea! I imagine it stiffens and strengthens the fin in bending and shear! Nice!
ReplyDeleteI am a big fan of glassing. I hate cutting out the grooves for a carbon rod, so I glass where ever I want reinforcement.
