After finishing up my FRC Foamies F15 MK2 and while watching the snow fall steadily for the last couple days in the midst of a winter storm, I decided to give my workshop a bit of a clean up. Then while cleaning up, I realized I had a copy of the plans for the RC Powers Mig29 V1... :) I have flown two of these in the past and it was a really important plane in the development of my skills and confidence a few months after I got started flying parkjets. It is also one of the most fun planes I have ever flown and is perfect when you are in the mood for lots of "dash and thrash" (speed and aerobatics...:)) So I thought, "time to have one of these in my hangar again"! Besides, I would rather build than clean up!
So, I cut out the foam and building has started!
By using Foam Tac glue and some keeping the airframe as light as possible, I'm interested to see what weight I end up with. When I built my last two, I used the D2826/6 2200 Kv motor with a 6x4 APC prop and that was a great combo at 17 oz with a 1600 Mah battery, I am hoping to get lighter than that and use the Focal Price 2700 Kv motor with a 6x3 EMP prop, should give me some pretty crazy speed and great pop and acceleration for aerobatics.
I will be repeating the German Air Force JG73 paint scheme that I currently have on one of my RC Powers Mig29 V3s.

It is pretty easy to do, looks really cool and I find that the contrast of color makes it pretty easy to keep track of in the sky. Weather is staying bad for another day or two... :( , so should get lots of building done!
Cheers,
Scott
