RE: VQ Mig-3 ARF
Hi,
Got myself a summer camo VQ MIG-3 and thought would share my experiences with it. Definitely the quality of this ARF is not wow, for instance the wood/balsa used in the wings is the brittle/brownish in color. Most hardware and mainly all included screws and nuts and washers, control horns, some pushrods, tailwheel, main wheels, tank and spinner are ugly and of very poor quality so I didnt use them, I used sullivan skylite wheels, dubro tailwheel and control horns, great planes pushrods, dubro spinner, dubro 12 oz tank ...
Another problem with this plane is the covering, if you wipe it with alcohol the printings on the covering will be erased !!! be very careful, use 50% alcohol and 50% water mix or use window cleaner for cleaning. Note that it is not monokote but some king of preprinted sticky film.
I used a Yamada YS-FZ70s for power and an APC 12x8 pattern prop.
Now after too much work and using my own hardware I ended up with a beautiful model which flies great. I love it ! I also installed 2 bomb release mechanisms in the wings ! The bombs are from Hobby Lobby HLH207.
