hello mates,
after all reading, discussion and talking with people that works with hydraulics, seems to me that the main problem is air trapped in the lines.if you have , even a little, air trapped, when the system is cycled, the air will be compressed and will give erroneous lecture to the ecu. maybe we can put some purges(iŽm not sure if this is the word)on various points through the lines, to release air, and instead of the given ecu, letŽs use minni hobby like our friend Lucas.
anyway, iŽm still concerned about the "wings rumour" and very disappointed with fiberclassics not showing up here or responding e-mails about this issue.
is that true that F/C was sued?
anyone here have the upgraded manual, scale documentation and cd that was promised in the manual?seems to me that 2 and a half years are more than enouth for a company to solve the problems. f/c lucky is that most of us are calm and we REALLY want to make the plane airworth, otherwise, they would have trouble....

Hi Fred,

Sorry if I stirred up a bad rumor, when someone was trying to sell one several months ago, someone else jumped on and said there were problems with wings prior to #24. We cannot find anything (I have 22 and my friend Rob has 21 I think)

As for you theory, as I said in the first post, that is what I think it is. I think the system will work if the air can be removed, but not with high reliability.

I am working on some ideas, if I can get Rob to start work on his, then maybe we will get something working with limit switches

hello Matt
lol, now iŽm more relaxed, my plane is 23#
missed by 2!!
indeed i heard of a wing coming loose in flight, but since the mig isnŽt flyable till now, how can this happen?!!
iŽll visit Festo to ask for help next week.
waht about using a solenoid to close the system when the gear is down?
any idea?

Marty, schematics coming out of my notebook this weekend!
I'll post to this thread and send separate to you via e-mail. ok?

lucas, can you send it to me also?
if you can, please, send it to [email protected]
my client itŽs almost givinŽup the mig...
if i came with a hope, maybe he turn back!
regards/fred

Lucas- thanks mate! I appreciate your help and advice on our MIG 29's Look forward to seeing your drawings.

Fred- Hang in there, we will get this gear problem sorted soon! theres to many talented modelers working on solving these bugs, for it to cause too much more delay...

Hello Marty,
iŽll try to calm down my boss.....lol

By the way, what servos do you use for the valves? because i canŽt find the JR servos mentioned on the instructions and i would like to run my gear too....

Hi guys! I'm back.
Sorry, I didn't get a chance to post the pictures and sketches that I promised you, besides, my digital camera has been broken, but don't worry. I'm working on it.

On a happier note, I flew my plane three times already and I'm becoming more familiar with the flying characteristics. The plane is unbelievably stable. I'm going to fly it this weekend again

Best Regards
Lucas
