Playing a little bit of catch up today. Been very busy building and flying the latest addition to my hangar.
Yes, I know it is a very long name with a lot of acronyms (M3 for Moran Modified Mig and e3 for my contributions). Thread with more details as well as build and walk around videos and pictures of how to cut the mods are in the original post of this thread on the RC Powers forum http://www.rcpowers.com/community/threads/mig29-v3m3e3-modification-thread.16759/
Stephan (sgmoran from the RC Powers forum) and I have been bouncing ideas off each other for about a month sharing ideas for different mods to planes we were building at the time. Stephan had been working on a Mig initially playing with the rudders to get his Mig to knife edge and I was working on mods to an FRC Foamies Su35 MK2 which are documented already on this blog. Anyway, many of the ideas morphed together and Stephan did a lot of work to re size the elevons, ailerons and vertical stabs and rudders.
With the mods and build techniques you can read about in the link above, we got our Migs going pretty darn fast, we both got them up to 109 mph with the NTM Prop Drive 2700 motor with a 6x4 APC prop on 4S!
This video is not the best, but there are a couple runs from left to right where you can get a sense for how fast this thing is!
It is by far my most favorite version of the RC Powers Mig29 V3 and many of the mods and techniques worked so well that I will be carrying them over to many of my future builds!
Cheers,
Scott
