Brief History
First designed in 1953, the MiG-21 is widely renowned as a classic Cold War era brute and holds the distinction
of being the most produced supersonic jet fighter in the world. More than 11,000 MiG-21s of different variations
have flown for over 60 countries over a period of more than 60 years. In fact, the unmistakable outline of the MiG-
21 can still be seen today in the skies of over 15 countries that still operate this historic warplane. The MiG-21 has
earned its place in aviation history as a versatile workhorse and venerable foe.
Overview
Dominate the skies with Freewing's 1/9 scale MiG-21! Its impressive 1730mm length makes this MiG-21 one of
Freewing's longest model aircraft. Its removable wings, horizontal stabilizer, and vertical stabilizer make transport
very easy. Even the nose cone and pitot tube are removable! Freewing has recreated many scale details of the
MiG-21 "MF" variant, and the aircraft is powered by an 80mm 12-blade EDF and an all-new 3530-1800KV out-
runner motor and 100A ESC. Newly designed metal gear digital servos control the ailerons, flaps, elevators, and
rudder, and an integrated circuit board simplifies wiring in the large battery bay. Magnetic fuel tanks and the iconic
"blisters" throughout the fuselage help complete the look and feel of the menacing MiG-21. Although an 80mm
class aircraft, the Freewing MiG-21 features the retractable landing gear of a 90mm class aircraft. Durable
aluminum trailing link struts and tall wheels allow operation on short grass fields.
Flight Features
The Freewing MiG-21 is suitable for intermediate and advanced pilots with EDF flying experience. The model's
strong thrust and flaps shortens the takeoff distance to 30 meters. Optimized design allows the Freewing MiG-21
to fly stably at both fast and slow speeds. In fact, the aircraft can maintain a slow "high alpha" attitude of up to 40
degrees without stalling. The delta wing and swept tail give the aircraft crisp responsiveness but gentle handling.
Also, the battery bay was designed to accommodate an optional Freewing Gyro E51, sold separately, to further
supplement the stable flying characteristics of the Freewing MiG-21. Experience the thrill of a 40 degree pass with
ease!
Color Scheme Introduction
Freewing presents its MiG-21 in two color schemes. The classic "Soviet Silver" scheme includes decals from
four countries inside the box to allow pilots to customize their model aircraft. A "High Vis" scheme is also available
that features the blue/white/grey color scheme of the MiG-21-93 variant for increased visibility in the sky.
