The Russian Mikoyan MiG-29 (NATO reporting name: Fulcrum) is a fourth-generation, twin engined air-superiority fighter.
Developed in the 1970s by the Mikoyan design bureau (now the Russian Aircraft Corporation MIG), the legendary MiG-29
and the larger Sukhoi Su-27 were developed to counter American F-15 and F-16 fighter aircraft.
Arrows hobby has once again utilized all of its engineering and testing experience in developing the dual-64mm EDF
MiG-29; confident that this is a MiG-29 that will surpass the performance and features of any other R/C MiG-29 on the
market today.
Performance- dual 12-bladed 64mm EDFs and dual- 40 amp ESCs provide ample thrust for the Arrows MiG-29. With exhilarating high-speed and vertical performance along with the turbine-like sound wave, this is certainly the cutting edge of R/C
aviation.
Scale features: Functional LEDs, full flying horizontal stabilizer and full-metal shock-absorbing undercarriage provide functional realism; while a detailed cockpit, panel lines, removable armaments, pilot figure and scale trim scheme allow the
aircraft to look like the real thing up close.
Despite the complex structure of the Arrows MiG-29, the aircraft comes prebuilt from the factory. Experienced pilots will find
that the assembly process is easy and straight-forward, taking as little as 15 minutes to complete.
For pilots that have mastered the Marlin and are looking for something in the scale-department, the aggressive MiG-29 is
not to be missed!
Features:
• Ample thrust courtesy of dual out-runner 64mm 12-bladed
fans,dual 40A ESCs and 6S power.
• Highly realistic functional and scale features.
• CNC machined-metal shock-absorbing undercarriage.

Preflight check
Important ESC and model information
1. The ESC included with the model has a safe start. If the motor battery is connected to the ESC and the throttle stick is not in the low
throttle or off position, the motor will not start until the throttle stick is moved to the low throttle or off position. Once the throttle stick is
moved to the low throttle or off position, the motor will emit a series of beeps. Several beeps with the same tune means the ESC has
detected the cells of the battery. The count of the beeps equals the cells of the battery. The motor is now armed and will start when the
throttle is moved.
2. The motor and ESC come pre-connected and the motor rotation should be correct. If for any reason the motor is rotating in the wrong
direction, simply reverse two of the three motor wires to change the direction of rotation.
3. The motor has an optional brake setting. The ESC comes with brake switched off and we recommend that the model be flown with
the brake off. However, the brake could be accidentally switched on if the motor battery is connected to the ESC while the throttle stick
is set at full throttle. To switch the brake off, move the throttle stick to full throttle and plug in the motor battery. The motor will beep one
time. Move the throttle stick to low throttle or the off position. The motor is ready to run and the brake will be switched off.
4. Battery Selection and Installation. We recommend the 22.2V 3300mAh 35C Li-Po battery. If using another battery, the battery must
be at least a 22.2V 3300mAh 35C battery. Your battery should be approximately the same capacity, dimension and weight as the 22.2V
3300mAh 35C Li-Po battery to fit the fuselage without changing the center of gravity significantly.

Preflight check
transmitter and model setup
After assembly and prior to your first flight, make sure all control surfaces respond
correctly to your transmitter by referring to the diagram below.
Control throws
The suggested control throw setting for the Twin 64mm Mikoyan MiG-29 are as follows
(dual rate setting):
Tips: The maiden flight should always be flown
using low rates, fly the aircraft until you are familiar with its characteristics prior to trying high
rates. Make sure the aircraft is flying at a decent
altitude and speed prior to using high rates, as
the aircraft will be sensitive to control inputs with
the larger control surface movements.

Finding the center of gravity
Finding the correct center of gravity is critical in ensuring that the aircraft
performs in a stable and responsive manner. Please adjust the weight
distribution so the aircraft balances in the range stated on the diagram.
• Depending on the capacity and weight of your choosen flight
batteries, move the battery forward or backward to adjust the
center of gravity.

Less control throw
85mm-95mm
• If you cannot obtain the recommended CG by moving the battery to a
suitable location, you can also install a counterweight to achieve correct
CG. However, with the recommended battery size, a counterweight is not
required. We recommend flying without unnecessary counterweight.
Before flying the model
Find a suitable flying site
Find a flying site clear of buildings, trees, power lines and other obstructions. Until you know how much area will be
required and have mastered flying your plane in confined spaces, choose a site which is at least the size of two to three
football fields - a flying field specifically for R/C planes is best. Never fly near people - especially children, who can
wander unpredictably.
Performing a range check
A radio range check should be performed prior to the first flight of the day. This test may assist you in detecting electronic
problems that may lead to a loss of control- problems such as low transmitter batteries, defective or damaged radio components or radio interference. This usually requires an assistant and should be done at the flying site.
08
Page 9
Before flying the model
Always turn your transmitter on first. Install a fully charged battery in the battery bay, then connect it to the ESC. In this
process, make sure that the throttle cut functionality is on, and that the throttle stick is secured in its lowest position- otherwise, the propeller/fan will engage and possibly cause bodily harm.
Note: Please refer to your transmitter manual that came with your radio control system to perform a ground
range check. If the controls are not working correctly or if anything seems wrong, do not fly the model until you
correct the problem. Make certain all the servo wires are securely connected to the receiver and the transmitter
batteries have a good connection.
Monitor your flight time
Monitor and limit your flight time using a timer (such as a stopwatch or on the transmitter, if available). As modern Lithium
Polymer batteries are not designed to discharge completely, when the battery runs low, the ESC will lower then completely
cut the power to the motors to protect the battery. Often (but not always) power can be briefly restored after the motor
cuts off by holding the throttle stick all the way down for a few seconds.To avoid an unexpected dead-stick landing on your
first flight,set your timer to a conservative 4 minutes. When your alarm sounds you should land right away.
Flying course
Take off
Point the aircraft into the wind while slowly applying power until the aircraft starts to track straight, use the rudder when
necessary. When the aircraft reaches takeoff speed, ease back on the elevator stick until the aircraft is climbing at a
constant rate without decelerating. Climbing at too steep of an angle at the relatively low speeds of a takeoff-climb may
result in an aerodynamic stall.
Flying
Always choose a wide-open space for flying your plane. It is ideal for you to fly at a sanctioned flying field. If you are not
flying at an approved site always avoid flying near houses, trees, wires and buildings. You should also be careful to avoid
flying in areas where there are many people, such as busy parks, schoolyards, or soccer fields. Consult laws and
ordinances before choosing a location to fly your aircraft. After takeoff, gain some altitude. Climb to a safe height before
trying technical manoeuvres.
Landing
Land the aircraft when you start to feel sluggish motor response. If using a transmitter with a timer, set the timer so you
have enough flight time to make several landing approaches.The model’s three point landing gear allows the model to land
on hard surfaces. Align model directly into the wind and fly down to the ground. Fly the airplane down to the ground using
1/4-1/3 throttle to keep enough energy for proper flare. Before the model touches down, always fully decrease the throttle
to avoid damaging the propeller or other components. The key to a great landing is to manage the power and elevator all
the way to the ground and set down lightly on the main landing gear. With some practice, you will be able to set the aircraft
gently on its main gear and hold it that way until the speed reduces enough where the nose wheel (tricycle landing gear
aircraft) or tail wheel (tail draggers) settles onto the ground.
Maintenance
Repairs to the foam should be made with foam safe adhesives such as hot glue, foam safe CA, and 5min epoxy. When
parts are not repairable, see the spare parts lst for ordering by item number.Always check to make sure all screws on the
aircraft are tightened. Pay special attention to make sure the spinner is firmly in place before every flight.
