The Mig and the Moon

[stryker48]

great video. Just ordered me 2 of these :)

Are you flying stock motor and 25A ESC?

Your ailerons have you used hinges or taped the top the the elevator?

What exactly have you used under the cockpit to enable it to take off from grass?

Any setup pointers and CG would be greatly appreciated - Thanks! :)

Thanks in advance for your kind assistance

This is great! I'm building my second one, after planting the old one in a tree last year. I try to "bug fix" it this time. Manly by adding more carbon fiber strips to the wing. If you havn't done that - do it. I pulled hard up once, and one of the wings snapped.

I notice you have ailerons? Normal tail (no elevons) and ailerons? Or both elevons and ailerons?

Lovely plane I must say. Easier to fly then my old "trainer" Cessna. And more fun.

@skagerstrom Or I notice now - is it flaps? Working? Or just glued them in that angle?

We aim to please!!

But yeah, specks in the sky are fairly common, stay tuned:)

We were testing a monopod here, like a tripod with two legs amputated. Much easier for this sort of thing than a tripod.

It's still very hard to hold steady when fully zoomed in though, even with ''anti shake'' etc.

Need to find that happy medium (No, I don't mean a smiling clairvoyant)

Nice to see something different, rather than trying to watch a speck in the sky.

You did indeed John, thanks for filming and ''discovering'' the Moon!

Have to get some posted of real hi alpha flight and Cobras next, got plenty from iPhone, just need to edit it all
