I have one of the original MIG3 from about 5-6 years ago, when Morris first started handleing the VQ line. It is one of the best flying planes I have ever owned. It's my "low pass baby", because is so rock steady. I flew it with an OS .91 Surpass, untill all the plastic finally gave-up. The newer kits now have much higher quality plastic parts. Damn good flying model. Cant say about the retract mounts on the newer kits, but mine needed to be reglued a couple of times.
