Sadly she did not get to have a maiden flight today. :-(

If there is no wind? Power up the electric Mig.

This MASTERPIECE is Johanns. He has just raised the bar to a level that I dought I will reach, but will try!! Well done Johann!! She looks AMAZING!!! Whilst the photos were loading, I was watching the Extra of Patrick Davidson doing an aerobatic display, with smoke, just SouthEast of my house. Howzthat!!!

Power Mig

This is one of my favorite power planes. It is powered by a .39 Tiger Shark engine. She is very qick and has no bad habits. Flies as smooth as silk. Only 3 channels throttle ailerons and elevator.

Making the canopy.

Use a 2L softdrink bottle for the canopy. Mark out as per photographs with a felt tip pen and cut out with a scissors.

This is how I cut 3 V's into the nose to shape it better.Take it from the Firewall, 3 flutes wide.

Materials required for the slope (glider) version of the Mig.

For the wings we used 2mm straight flute correx available from, among others, Maizey Plastics. The fuzz, tail feathers and control surfaces are made from 3mm straight flute. 3mm Plywood for the formers and stronger Marine ply for the main spar and dyhedral braces. Bicycle spokes for torque rods. Glue gun and contact hold everything together.
