This Carf Mig-17 looks good, is well made and flies beautifully. The building process was quick and easy, especially for me, as I ordered the gear and doors done at Carf. I built my own cockpit from balsa/plywood and 3D printed parts/pilot. that was the most time consuming part of the whole process.

Jeti for control and Jetcat 250Pro for power. Yes, overpowered and I think anything from 180 will work just fine.

CB400, GS200, RX and rcswitch up front, under the small hatch. heavy cockpit with air operated canopy, resulted in 600 grams of lead in the tail (inside the longest tail fin carbon tube). The suggested CG, 29 cm from trailing edge root works fine. Might push it 5-10mm back.
