Sorry, haven't been able to follow this threat for a while. The parkflyerplastics canopy comes normally with a plywood piece that fits the front of the canopy and you must enlarge the hole into witch it slides in the fuse front. At the rear, I stuck a piece of ply wood to the rear of the canopy where the latch pin would go and made a hole in the thin plywood to take the latch pin. Hope this helps, your plane looks very nice in that scheme!

Tomme, BEFORE YOU CRASH IT,,,, SELL IT TO MEEEEE!!!

looks gorgeous.. are those rclander retracts?

Hey guys i am looking at getting the mirage 2000! I am planning on getting most my parts from hobbyking! What servos did you guys get and edf fan and moter? I am looking to run it on 5 or 6s. Let me know all info would help thank you

I used the bms555s for the elevons.
Turnigy 100a esc, rhino 4900 6s.
Fan/motor varied over the years. Haoye 7 blade with an ARC (not from hk) was my first, and most often flown, setup. 1.2kw, 6min flights.

How would this Mirage fly on Freewing 90mm edf with 1750KV motor, 90-100 HK SS Ecs and 6S 5800 35C lipo.....with stock fixed gears?

Had the same motor and fan in my Mirage - will fly well. If I remember correctly I was on approximately 1300W. Just not too sure if the ESC will be OK as I had issues with timing on my 1850kv Warhead. These outrunner motors have a higher pole count and the HK ESC cannot run efficiently on high timming. Suggest that you try the setup on a test bench first and ensure that the motor does not stutter at higher RPM range.

Good luck.

Thanks for ur input Graham, i will do bench test run first before installing this set up in my Mirage. What other esc form HK i can use with this set up?. Plus do i need separate bec also as these esc's don't have bec on them...

K-Force 100 for the win.. the best ESC Ive ever had...

I am using the Plush 80a now for about 8 months - had it on your setup and then changed the motor to the Warhead but same esc. It does have a bec but I always try and use a seperate power supply for my RX- If the esc decides to burn, you still have power for the rx.
This clip of a Sabre had the same setup - the Mirage performs better as it is lighter and has less drag.

F-86 Sabre'n Feels So Good.AVI (2 min 8 sec)

comon.. only 2 minute flights?

Dont know what batt he was using....

Here r pics of my Mirage, just arrived earlier at nite. Came with all major airframe components, hardware pack that has retracts, landing gears n some sort of hatch locking hinge. In the box there is catalog but no instructions manual how to assemble n add electronics in the airplane. Does these kits come with some sort of instructions or no?

The instructions they come with are not worth much anyway - check out this thread - loads of info.
