MiG-29 Post Stall Adventures! ✈️ 'Immense Power and Precise Movements'

Showcasing the extreme post-stall aerobatic capabilities of the Freewing MiG-29 RC plane in flight with a really cool slow motion 'reel highlights' edit and a powerful Nightwish score. This jet is brutal with the vectored thrust! :DDD

'Oh, you're approaching me? Instead of running away, you're coming right to me?'
'I can't beat the sh- out of you without getting closer.'

ROFL, I just couldn't help it... Just as I was preparing the thumbnail, I saw the JoJo's meme in it.
I haven't actually watched the series but I just had to do it... you'll have to forgive me (or not!). xD

These were Anežka's flights 249th to 255th.

Regarding my MiG-29 setup:

QUICK LIST OF MODS
- CG 15mm behind factory marks on the wings.
- Reflex trailing edge by 3mm flaps, 5mm ailerons (aprox).
- Reinforced stab assemblies to torsion (Epoxy - thick glass fiber laminate).
- Reinforced stabs to prevent deformation (WBPU - thin glass fiber laminate, 18g/m2).
- Replaced stab servos by Corona DS-238MG.
- Replaced stab linkages by 4-40 threaded rod with heavy duty Du-Bro ball links.
- Removed stock BEC.
- Installed separate 20A UBEC that runs from a standalone receiver battery (2S 610mAh).
- Installed ferrite chokes on ESC-Rx leads (next to ESC) and on the stab servo leads (next to servo).
- I am using the old FrSky Redundancy Bus for everything except landing gear, lights, and everything that goes through the ribbon cables (ailerons, flaps, gear doors), as these need to go through the BB.
- Shortened some of the wires, as I installed the RBus in the aft battery compartment.
- Removed the toe out on the main landing gear struts by filing the chamfer on the axle pin that connects strut with retract.

I was concerned about the structural integrity of the stabs, and stab assembly so I did reinforce them with glass fiber cloth, which is part of the reason why it took me so long to get the jet ready. I'm not a fan of working with composite materials so I procrastinated a bit, lol. After my reinforcement mods, the stabs seem to be much more solid now. 💕

I took many of the 'well-known' ideas and good practices about this model recommended by other pilot-owners on forums such as RCGroups and HobbySquawk including adding reflex to the flaps and ailerons to maximize top speed and reduce trim drag (unloading the stabs in the process quite a bit) and I replaced the taileron servos by tougher ones, and the taileron linkages by 4-40 pushrods, and FWIW, also installed ferrite chokes on the ESCs leads to the rx as well as the taileron servo leads (to mention a few of the changes).

I also made my own 'quite personal' installation of the electronics and basically rewired the whole thing, changed the placement of the components, added a 20A UBEC, redundancy bus, 2x X8R receivers, the list goes on.
