Flew the mig today, flew just as beautifully as the previous but much faster and docile. Will post a video after doing the color scheme.

Some more beauty shots

wow..wow.. great Sun.. 

Hi SLS

That MIG is soooo beautiful. How did you make the canopy from ? Please use only marking and insignia on her...she looks so pristine in white.

Thanks Roopesh

Thank you ankurkaul17, I know she looks good in white but with all white its very easy to loose orientation. Check the attached picture of the plane hanging on a wall of almost same color as the sky we get here. Have not decided on the color scheme yet, will update here.
The canopy is made from a discarded trex canopy from a fellow flyer but a better canopy can be made from 1 litre mirinda bottle.

Sun..its so amazing to see the craft.. nice effort..

Beautiful! Are you planning on a civilian paint scheme or will you stick to a camo?

Thank you VC!
I'm thinking reno racer style colors, something in read and white or black and yellow.

hey do you have plans for the this mig 7 plane??

hERE I found d files

Why are these files called "d" files ?  They are plain PDFs, the widely used format.

Also, if you found them on another website, please post the source.  We cannot host files without attributing source.

sorry Sir, I dint know d rules. I just posted so dat others cud download.

Oh, that's OK, please do edit your above post and add the full url of the thread from which you got the PDFs

And while you are at it, please also note guideline #7 here : http://www.rcindia.org/rc-india-forum/forum-usage-tips/

All OK now sir? Sorry 4 d mistake earlirer

Seems like you still have not read guideline 7 here http://www.rcindia.org/rc-india-forum/forum-usage-tips/ 

Please note that we have to treat forums like this more like online versions of newspapers... would you like to see a newspaper site content in SMS lingo ?  While it is convenient to the poster to use SMS language, it is terribly inconvenient to the readers.

The link to plans have already been posted in the first post of this thread. The whole world is using plans from there so I dont think its required/wise to post the files here unless you have modified it in some way

BTW planning to add some wheels to the MiG

nice.. with weels it will really be able to land la a proper old warbird!!   it seriously looked awesome while flying.. it was great to see it in person..

can this be made with 3mm coro only? i cant find any 2.5 or 4 mm coro anywhere.

someone pls reply. can i make mig 7 using only 3mm coro?

Please wait at least one day before posting followup to your own posts.

Yes you can build it with 3mm coro; but you have to work hard to keep the weight down.
Make spar out CF and coro like i did in my second build.
Make former out of two sheets of coro glued together with flutes perpendicular. like i did in my first build (check out first page of the thread)
Do not use hotglue any where, for gluing former's use CA sprinkled with salt.
Firewall you can make out of 3mm plywood.

ps: please note that this plane will require intermediate level of skills to build and fly. this should not be you first plane for either building or flying.

thanks sir.

Installed landing gear to the mig, no tail wheel yet but still steers like a dream. Also added a spinner, glides have improved considerably. Had lots of fun today, rolling take offs are easy peasy. It just runs over the roughest terrain like a boss
