Dutch60 Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 MiG-29 Flying Scale model. Simply very COOL! http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5697148773549572332&q=MIG&pl=true i9 13900KS (H150i), RTX 4090, 64 GB RAM @ 6000 MHz CL30, TM Warthog HOTAS + MFD's, MFG Crosswind, LG 48GQ900, Valve Index VR, TrackIR 5, Win11 Pro x64
nscode Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 Ouuugh you just have to get TWO od those... one for you and one for your friend and than do dogfights :) Never forget that World War III was not Cold for most of us.
Prophet_169th Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 I have seen an F15 version. Now that would be cool to dogfight the 2.
JaNk0 Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 Damn those engines :o cool as hell... I wonder how it would look if you place a small cam in the cockpit, and in some crazy way fix so you can fly with an HOTAS :p hahaha, it would been better then Lock On...*maybe not [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
dynamocl Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 Dont forget that B52 scale model that crashed (was massive). The pilots apparently lost control and it crashed and burned (I am sure someone will post the video below). Thinking about it now, I wonder if it was poorly controlled, or one of these were just out of view locking it up...

Pilotasso Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 If I remenber right it was lost because of trying to land in windy conditions wich caused the same crash type as the one IRL wich crashed at an airshow. .
Crusty Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 I fly conventional prop models and model helicopters, some club members have jets, they are impressive to watch, but tbh dont appeal to me much, a 4 foot model doing 300mph is very stressfull to control, you only gets seconds before you have to turn back towards yourself.....and repeat The climbouts are very spectactular tho and the sound and smell is really like the real thing oo err...missus:animals_bunny: ** Anti-Pastie**
anivanov Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 Ouuugh you just have to get TWO od those... one for you and one for your friend and than do dogfights :) and what when you break them?

You could controll the jet from a screen instead of having to watch it form the ground to controll it. .
Crusty Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 How about mounting wireless cameras inside the buble cockpit? You could controll the jet from a screen instead of having to watch it form the ground to controll it. It could be done (and of course is with some uav), but you need a lot of support gear to get a reliable long range downlink and multiple cameras or downlinked instrument data for adequate S.A., in other words not cheap the furthest I have got is adding a short range video downlink so I can aim the still camera on my model helicopter, it was just a cheap video sender and only good for about 500 metre range oo err...missus:animals_bunny: ** Anti-Pastie**
nscode Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 To do things like that cheaper you need to be skillful in electronics and build them your self Never forget that World War III was not Cold for most of us.
Crusty Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 And have the relevent Radio liciences ;):D oo err...missus:animals_bunny: ** Anti-Pastie**

Linksys makes them and I have found several models on PC stores. The thing is to extend its range through a modifyed antenna to boost range. And I cant think of it being any more expensive than any other part of kit for making the plane. The price difference in the total is neglectable. If you are rich to make a plane like that you cana fford a wireless camera as well. .

Like I said its cheap and easy to do short range, but a LEGAL and reliable long range downlink is not, try and get an insurer to cover you for a start (in uk you need insurance to use these things in public airspace, Technicly I even need it to fly my models and yes I do have it Edit I know the legalities are not perhaps relevent to your point, but they are nonetheless a reality and a hinderance..it is tho as you not at all impossible oo err...missus:animals_bunny: ** Anti-Pastie**
Roman G Posted April 12, 2006 Posted April 12, 2006 Is that thing legal ? ... I mean ... its a frigging MISSILE ;) ... It also sounds (almost) as the real thing (mig29) ... :)
SwingKid Posted April 12, 2006 Posted April 12, 2006 Hey Crusty - What's that scene in your sig? There's a sim with MiG-19? -SK
Crusty Posted April 12, 2006 Posted April 12, 2006 fs9 ....oh its gone now, perhaps it was not to forum specs and got removed..ah well oo err...missus:animals_bunny: ** Anti-Pastie**
