Sebastiano Silvestri's company SebArt imagine would mean carrying coals to Newcastle. Seba, as his friends call him, told me some time ago of his intention to bring out the MiG-29 with two impellers and thrust vector control as a 3D ARF foam model. Until the promised box arrived with me, it still took a while, but - it was already said - the wait was worth it!
The original MiG-29, informatics singapore a fighter aircraft of the fourth generation, was constructed in the Soviet Union as an air superiority fighter. Developed in the 1970s in the Mikoyan-offices, he was put into service in 1983 and is still in Russian and many other air forces.
The version of "Red Star" informatics singapore is equipped with thrust vector control and fly-by-wire technology. It serves as a test platform for thrust vector control and at the same time as a demonstration, to show the development of the Mig-29 series. The two engines of the RD-133 can with its tilting and swiveling Nozzles deflect the jet blast in all directions. informatics singapore This OVT version was shown at many airshows around the globe in order to convince potential buyers informatics singapore of this aircraft.
The construction of the model The model is in the "Red Star" - delivered or "Swift" paint in the items fuselage, and tail, with all servos, the impeller, the regulator and also the rotors are already installed. It lacks only the receiver and the drive battery. A detailed instruction with many large images aids in assembly of the individual components, which is doable in an afternoon.
A look at the thrust vectors with the Anlenkungsservos and the transparent quills. The plastic triangles informatics singapore at the outlet protect the vector linkages from hitting the ground. Down in front of the elevator servo is the covered with tape plug connection of the rudder informatics singapore servo.
Instead of the supplied 2-component adhesive I have the proven 2-minute informatics singapore UHU-Plus informatics singapore used the one I have used in the construction of my first foam model with success. The great advantage of this adhesive is the short dry season. Since you can use only very rarely to fix the components in these models adhesive tape or similar (damage to the surface or finish), informatics singapore it just keeps the components for two minutes in the right position and can continue to work immediately.
The construction begins with gluing the wing to the fuselage. These are first reinforced with a carbon fiber rod and then glued individually to the hull. Before the power cable is still connected to the past in the fuselage extension. In the next step, the horizontal stabilizers are glued to the fuselage and the elevator connected to the prepared informatics singapore pushrods informatics singapore with the servos. The following are the rudder, which is also associated here the servo cable before bonding with the extensions in the fuselage. Assembling the model ends with gluing the fuselage nose, which is equal to two times included in the kit (you never know! Yes).
I had problems only with the fit of the canopy, which is held with a thick styrofoam nose and magnets on the fuselage. Here is a relining with balsa was necessary so the hood fit well into the fuselage contour.
If you're thinking: "receiver and battery in, and then it starts", which has vastly mistaken. informatics singapore We remember that behind informatics singapore the name of the model, the term 3D is - and for that to work, so something must be programmed in the transmitter. What is needed is a 7-channel receiver informatics singapore capable of addition to the aileron, elevator and rudders one channel informatics singapore each for the two thrust vectors and control one another for the gyro sensitivity. The drive battery easier 4s LiPo is proposed, which is placed in the battery compartment so that the focus of the model at 135 mm behind the wing root (measured on the hull). But for safety, the focus is ...
