Richard! you need to get out and do some flying, way to much time on Youtube bro!!! :?:  :?:

Anyhow, just posted this pic of the Mig to give you all an idea of what she looks like with the new larger wing section added. I hope to add the green camoflage tomorrow, to the fuselage also panel lines and a little weathering.

Verry nice John,
                      Will she be going to Mt Leinster in March? and where's that swing wing you've been working on? Look foreward to seeing them fly.
John.

Hi John

I hope to have the mig finished by the end of next week, so if all goes to plan, she will be at the Pss in March. As for the F14, she is on hold, until the weather gets a little warmer, as most of the work, i do outside on this model
(big model 87" wing span) also I am thinking of cutting a new set of wings with a better aerofoil for slope flying. I will get it finished maybe later in the season :?:

Looks brilliant John. Looking forward to seeing it in action.
What EDF Jets would you recomend that would convert well into PSS. I would like to give it a try.

Hi guys, sorry for not getting back sooner! Richard and I have been putting down a new wooden floor today for a good wife ( I need the brownie points :oops: )

I finished the painting and weathering on the Mig 29 last night, just need to complete the canopy and add a top coat of varnish, also add a pilot later.



Next I need to install the servos and work out the CofG ( with the larger wings, it will have moved I think?)

Joe I used a S3021 aerofoil section, supplied by Fred, also covered up the air intakes, so hopefully these changes will give the Mig a better flight performance, fingers crossed :?:  :?:

Thanks bill, I am pleased with the paint scheme, looks mean!!! All paint used from tester pots water based, total coat £10.00.

Alan you posted that you would like to try a jet for PSS, I would suggest starting with a GWS A4 Skyhawk, an old EDF kit, but flys great as the slope model. I fly the blue /white A4, see Fred's  last PSS video on the forum from last year, to see her flying.

Fantastic JP. Really looks the part. Used the 3021 for the Aermacchi. A good profile like that should make a difference. Looking forward to finding out!  :clap:  :clap:

Stunning model JP! Certainly one of the most beautiful PSS on this Island!  :clap:  :clap:

That even made me look at my F16 kit last night!  :D  Looking forward to see it perform at the slope!

I might try that. Where did you buy it from?

Hi guys, thanks for the kind comments, lets hope she flys as well as she looks :?:
Alan I got my A4 from BRC hobbies, however, they are getting hard to come by, I suggest you have a good look around the web for a bargain, I got mine for £40 in an end of stock sale. I will take a look and see if I can find a kit for you!

O.K. finished the Mig 29 tonight and added all the wiring for the afterburners and servos, works great, just need to add two servos for the elevator and check the CofG, and she is ready for a flight. Here are a few photos taken in the workshop tonight.



Afterburners on full burn!!



System works of a 3cell lipo.



Another rear shot with the heaters on full burn!

That's it for now, I will keep you all updated on the maiden flight soon!!

Thanks John.
The Paint scheme looks great. How did you get such a smooth finish over foam?
