On The Eastern Front

After a number of moral improving 'shootings' the Colehill Mikoyan Guravich factory collective have made significant progress on the Mig3.
A 3W 55i has been installed and the manifold tuck away inside the fus' awaiting a K&S tuned pipe to be attached. The wing has been installed and mounting plates and pins in complete accordance with the chinglish instruction 'attach wing using components - incorrect here will result in crash'. ESM electric retracts to be installed next then epoxy tail and wing panels.

Very nice John

A big MIG! Looking good John.

Looks like this year could be '44 again with the known war bird fans for 2016.......

You do realise John that if you run out of fuel you are expected to crash it into a worthwhile target. for the motherland.

Excellent stuff John - What's your verdict on the quality of the kit and ease of build?

Excellent quality fibre-glass fus and cowl - very strong and heavy duty. Nicely made built-up wings too. Canopy is a bit brittle and the wheel wells need some fettling to fit into the wing, but overall very pleased.. First time I have seen a pull-pull system for the rudder and both individual elevators. Has a large 3 piece split air-brake/flap so should be able to land pretty slow.
However, not a beginners model as some of the instructions need interpretation and wing and motor and exhaust installation needs some thought and measurement. I just love the look of the MiG3 and some of the other 50cc ESM YT International models are also quite unique ...
