RE: VQ Models Mig 3 Build
UPDATE ON VQ MIG 3.
I HAD the VQ Mig and only got 7 flights on it before it crashed today (1-29-10). I flew the length of the runway, banked hard left, and the LEFT WING FOLDED!!! ; it wasn't at the center where you glue it together, it was inboard of the retract landing gear well. I chopped the throttle and she went for about 100 feet, then became a DART. Luckily it has been raining here for a week and the field was muddy where it went in. I got everything but the plane and a servo back. When we looked at the wing, there is no plywood joiner inboard of the landing gear, just two pieces of THIN Balsa with FOAM inbetween on a major spar. Unacceptable building practice. I don't overpower planes by much, and this should have up to the stress from my ST .61. What a stinko, cheap plane, and especially at the price they are these days. I had retracts also. NOT WORTH THE $$$. Needless to say, it went into the trash. Guess I won't be buying that .61 Hien I was looking at.
