Another few flight display videos of my MiG-29 flights performances at BCN Jets 2021!
Notice that I was flying in pretty severe wind conditions and (no gyros).
0:00 - First flight
4:15 - Second flight
These were Anežka's flights 155th and 159th.
MiG-29 pilot: Alejandro Ibáñez
Ground video: Luis Ibáñez
Airfield: RACBSA
Barcelona jets is an international R/C jet meeting organized in Catalonia, at the RACBSA model aircraft Club in Montcada i Reixac, next to Ripollet in Catalonia, just a short drive from Barcelona. The original idea was to celebrate another 'Cerdanya Jets' (which got cancelled back in 2020 due to the global pandemic) but there were problems with the new aerodrome manager so instead the event came back to its origins... sad to an extent, as the organization was forced to limit assistance, but it was also cool to have this amazing event back at our local Club! :)

Regarding my MiG-29 setup:
*QUICK LIST OF MODS*
- CG 15mm behind factory marks on the wings.
- Reflex trailing edge by 3mm flaps, 5mm ailerons (aprox).
- Reinforced stab assemblies to torsion (Epoxy - thick glass fiber laminate).
- Reinforced stabs to prevent deformation (WBPU - thin glass fiber laminate, 18g/m2).
- Replaced stab servos by Corona DS-238MG.
- Replaced stab linkages by 4-40 threaded rod with heavy duty Du-Bro ball links.
- Removed stock BEC.
- Installed separate 20A UBEC that runs from a standalone receiver battery (2S 610mAh).
- Installed ferrite chokes on ESC-Rx leads (next to ESC) and on the stab servo leads (next to servo).
- I am using the old FrSky Redundancy Bus for everything except landing gear, lights, and everything that goes through the ribbon cables (ailerons, flaps, gear doors), as these need to go through the BB.
- Shortened some of the wires, as I installed the RBus in the aft battery compartment.
I was concerned about the structural integrity of the stabs, and stab assembly so I did reinforce them with glass fiber cloth, which is part of the reason why it took me so long to get the jet ready. I'm not a fan of working with composite materials so I procrastinated a bit, lol. After my reinforcement mods, the stabs seem to be much more solid now. 💕
I took many of the 'well-known' ideas and good practices about this model recommended by other pilot-owners on forums such as RCGroups and Hobbysquawk including adding reflex to the flaps and ailerons to maximize top speed and reduce trim drag (unloading the stabs in the process quite a bit) and I replaced the taileron servos by tougher ones, and the taileron linkages by 4-40 pushrods, and FWIW, also installed ferrite chokes on the ESCs leads to the rx as well as the taileron servo leads (to mention a few of the changes).
I also made my own 'quite personal' installation of the electronics and basically rewired the whole thing, changed the placement of the components, added a 20A UBEC, redundancy bus, 2x X8R receivers, the list goes on.
All in all the jet is a superb flier and has an incredible presence. It has some thrustline issues and it is still nose heavy with CG some 15mm behind the wing marks. Good news is, I managed to get the CG there with my heavy Panther Li-Po packs, and before installing thrust vectoring gear, so there's much room for improvement!
