Their website's been down for over a week now. Has something happened? I was looking at their MIG 29 for my Wren 54

Noticed that too, Terry, where you at?

Is this the Top Gun Web site?

http://www.dbalsa.com/jets/top_gun_jets.htm

It is working okay.

I would like to build a MiG29 for a Wren 54. There is one for a ducted fan on this site. Is that what you were considering?

Hal

dbalsa no longer sells top gun aircraft they shut down there website also i called them to get a price on the mig 29 cause i was looking at it also but they would not give me a price they took my phone # and said they would get back to me with a price but that was 3 weaks ago there phone # is 815-433-6132 i was talking to steve and he told me that they no longer sell jets for fans they converted everything to turbines at the first of the year thats bad for me cause all i fly are fans but thats what i know give them a call..... keep em level donniercjet

Thanks guys!

Hal, I'm sure there was a pre-production photo of the new MIG for turbine power on the TGA Jets website but the site's vanished.

Scott,
I have flown the Mig on a Wren 54. The one I flew was a DF conversion on the orginal Wren 54's... While not blistering performance, it flew better then a fan version and was quite alot of fun. Built light, this is a great combo...

Did Top Gun make the MiG you flew? I have a 14lb. Wren 54 so it might be a good match.

Thanks.

Hal

Hi Hal,
Yes, this was a topgun Mig that was coverted from ducted fan. I dont believe any mods where even made to the airframe for this powerplant. It was a bit anemic on the wren, as it was a original engine with 12lbs or less. In addition, he had a Bi pipe installed that was way too big for the engine...lots of thrust loss. Still, the plane flew nicely once on step and it was a blast to fly.
Todd

Hi Todd,

Thanks for the input. I can see this being my winter project

I'm not really bothered about top speed, just that it looks right and can be flown scale...... and will land on my (relatively) short strip!!

Hi John, I am here. The reason I havn't posted anything is I havn't had time to call Steve and get the scoop from him.

For those that wanna see the TGA New more Scale Mig-29 check out my web site. http://terry_holston.tripod.com/

Hey All, I just got off the phone with Jody, Steve's wife, and she told me they are in the process of changing servers for the web site. It has been down for a couple of weeks and it is due to problems with the server they use. THEY ARE STILL IN BUSINESS!!!!!!!!!! Give them a call at: 1-815-433-6123. Steve will be out of the office for the next day or so, however.

Terry

I went to your site and looked at your MiG. It is very impressive. About what size and weight is it and what do you think it will sell for? Would a MW54 power it okay.

Thanks.

Hal

I just called 815-433-6123 and woke some guy up, can anyone confirm the correct number to reach TGA?

That is the number I used when I called and talked to Jody yesterday. She answered "Topgun". That number is programed in my cel phone so I know it is correct.

Are you sure you didn't punch in a different number somewhere?????????

Oh almost forgot, My mig weighed 17 lbs ready to go with DF. The new one should be less than 19lbs with turbine.

Terry please recheck the number, I tried it again and unless I am missing something it is not correct, thanks.

I just rechecked the number in my "dialed calls" section of my cel phone.........................the number I posted id Correct. foster4u I don't know what you are doing wrong???????? Are you using the correct area code???????? I am at a loss as to what is wrong. So sorry.

Come on Todd, a rubber band and propeller could have pulled that Mig around better

Joey

Can someone else please try this number, I have tried it several times from different phones and it is someones home, sorry terry maybe it's me but it does not work.

LOL Joey


Stopped by on the way back from Debbie's and peaked in at the F-5 today!! She looks smoking dude!! I'm ready for a rivet party,I'll call you tomorrow at work about which day is best

Whats a "Propeller"
Ah comon Joey, the "Pimp Mobile" was rockin [8D] I had so much fun with that thing it should have been illegal [sm=tongue.gif] What's new bud? Ready for that Gripen??
Todd

I think the number for Top Gun is 1- 815-433-6132. (Terry you have the last two numbers reversed)
I spoke to Steve a few weeks ago about my order for the turbine Mig-29. He told me it would be shipped out in a few days. He said the same thing 9 months ago also. Good luck with your order. Maybe I'll call again tomorrow and bug him some more...Lol


Hope this helps,

Steven T.

Great, I will try it out tomorrow, Thanks.

how much did the new kit cost to order ?

Yup, (815) 433-6132 is the number. They are still there. I have an F-16 from them and just talked to Steve a couple of weeks ago about it. You can also Email him at: tgajets@the ramp.net
