Mine got its maiden journey today. 95 degree heat and about 5 to 12 mph winds. Impressions, a blast to fly. It basically has one speed…wide open, though it will fly along nicely at 1/2 throttle.

Vertical is very limited though the 95 heat likely had an effect on that. Roll rate is snappy and it loops nicely if you carry some speed. Takeoffs are long and landings are long! On par with our parkflyers. Noisy little bugger with the ducted fan motor. The AS3X makes this thing a joy to fly. Crosswind takeoffs and landings are a piece of cake. A ducted fan is a bit different to fly but in a good way!

I went right to 100% rates based on my experience with the Carbon Cub. I also moved all control surfaces in one hole. Very easy to control in my opinion. I would not call this a beginner airplane but someone with moderate experience will have a great time. Seems to cut through the wind with nary a problem. I do have some video but will have to wait for it to upload.

I was running Tenergy 200mAh 25C, the stock Eflite 200 and Hyperion 240's and averaged 4 to 4:30 if I throttled back. I did attempt a Hyperion 180 and it did not have enough power, the motor surged so I brought it right back in. The Tenergy's and Eflite I ran to the front of the battery compartment, the 240 Hyperion in the middle of the battery slot. CG was perfect and I had no climb tendency.

This one is a clear winner!

Shouldn't be too much longer before I get my MiG!

well i guess 2 outta 3 ain't bad...

E-flite Mig 15 landing practice (1 min 8 sec)

Good day,
I am waiting to order my Mig and I want to ask owners, if it worth the money? I never had the EDF plane, is it good start?
I wan to ask some things, if I can. Is the Mig capable of aerobatics and the battery case, is battery holding still? I thought, there is some cover, but it isnīt. Isnīt there danger of loosing battery?
Thank you for help

I think it's awesome! With the micros I always use a small piece of tape to go over the battery in addition to the velcro. I never rely on velcro alone, I had the battery of my umx t28 drop out in flight and disconnect, hard to fly w/ no power

As for the price tag, it's a tad high but the CS from HH is worth it, they're the best IMHO. I was rolling and flying inverted on the first battery, I felt that comfy with it on the maiden flight. I have never felt that confident with a edf on the first flight before. If you never had a edf before (but have flight time), I think it's a great place to start. It doesn't have any bad habits and seems very forgiving. i slow flew her for a little while and she handled it wonderfully. If you purchase it I feel you'll be VERY happy. Just turn down your d/r endpoints, I use 90% on high. You don't want to full travel the servos. 90% is more then enough throw on all the surfaces IMHO.

Thanks for the feedback. I was just curious. I was going to pull the trigger on the F-86 a while back. I'm a F-86 fan, but I'll wait... I would imagine that their has to be a E-Flite umx F-86 in the works. You can't release a mig 15 w/o releasing a F-86. It's like Peanut Better w/o Jelly

So the 240s fit in the bay w/o carving any foam? I'm using some Hyperion 2002 now.

They fit snug but no, I did not have to modify the compartment at all.

Cool. Ill look into those down the road. Broke as a joke right now. Thanks!

if you read the first 93 posts all your questions were answered. all of them
93 posts and not one bad comment but there are comments with members saying this is there first edf and it is simple to fly
many people talking about doing loops rolls and flying inverted with ease
in 93 posts not one person posted a bad comment on the battery falling out either.

we cant really tell you what to do but reading all the info and making a educated decision you can do.

Picked one up yesterday, painted it then flew it in 8-10mph winds, no problem, out the box 100% rates, x4 lipo's 240mah 25c Hyperions, it has a good turn of speed, I don't think I'm going to get enough of this. Only other mod in the pipeline is some finishing epoxy on the belly front part only and around the lip of the battery opening. Thanks E-Flite, What's next?

Sick paint job!

I picked mine up Yesterday.

I've flown 6 flights...

It is kinda tight in my little micro arena... This thing eats up space, and as expected, with no prop blast over flight controls, you gotta keep the speed up a bit!

Things of note... no vertical performance at all... Need a nice clear fly away for go around, and take off. I was using the stock packs, I have two, and a couple of the Hyperion 240s, all were as warm as I've ever had them. The nose wheel bent on mine, yes I pounded it in on landing, bit of a crow hop... When I went to bend it back, it snapped, so I have to go to the grass field and do some belly landings...

Very cool little EDF for sure.

I went to HK and looked for packs, they had med stock on the 300s, by the time I finished shopping, they were backordered

So I have 4 of the mini av 300s coming now... hope they do well!

I have purchased packs from RCBabbel and recommend him first as others have.

You can also get factory made hyperion packs with the UMX connector from Bishop Power Products or All-E-RC... both reputable places as well. RC's packs are a little better engineered and lighter.

Quick question for those flying with Dx7 or Dx8:

I am going to pick up my Mig tomorrow and already downloaded the manual and I don't see anything about using expo with Dx7 or Dx8? I plan in dialing in 20%.
it does mention expo for Dx4 or Dx5....

Thnx, Denny
