nnMiG 3 - 800mm

[jayz 84]

The 800mm mig3 will be going out for its second flight today or tomorrow. Saturdays flight went well. I used my smaller motor to trim her out. It flew well but something dident feel right in the aileron turns so i took it home for adjustments. Everthing seemed ok so im going to swap for the ntm 1800 and give her a go

Ha you have to ask.. well first flight went great. She was really fast...but something about it still bothered me. So i desided to go over it again and do a few more batterys to figure it out. So on battery #3 i found out in a bad way what was wrong. I did a few high speed passes then went up high for a stall dive. She came down fast in for a close fast fly by. Well as i just past by myself i pulled a hard right turn (redbull racer style ) it happen so fast. It did a hard left into a dive right in to road..... only killing the nose ripping it away right at the wing leading edge. Everything else is ok even the pod.... (so i found out what the problem was when i got home with it. My left wing servo gears were destroyed) so i guess its down to salvaging the plane or repairing it.... and the mxs well yea ill post on that one

I had never had a servo fail before just a few weeks ago. Thankfully it wasn't during flight. What a bummer.

Ya i have never had a servo failure till now. Ive only broke one on a wing sevro from a bad landing with my modified racing 800mm t28..

Finally got started on my build. Going with a sky blue belly and white fuse/top wing with sky blue decals. I have started playing around with using an iron to round the edges and taper the trailing edges. It's coming out really nice so far.

I like the taper. I've used my iron to hit the edges for rounding/sealing but never considered shaping like that...Nice!

 

[jayz 84]

I knew you would like the iron idea. Im surprised i never thought about tappering the whole flight controls. Its coming out nice. Cant waut to see what it looks like being white and blue decals

Nice job so far Nic! I can't wait to see how it comes out.

Yeah dude thanks for reminding me about it, I'm gonna be doing this on every build now.

Yeah man i will be doing it from now on too

 

[BanditJacksRC]

yeah those surfaces look like they would be real slick through the air.. how do they feel rigid wise after the ironing? i imagine pretty solid with the sealed edges and melted foam..

 

[nerdnic]

That's exactly right. They get very stiff and rigid.

 

[nerdnic]

Almost got my build done. Worked on a new ail setup last night that has a center hinge.

 

[nerdnic]

Ohh, she's gonna be purdy.
