If you’re into scale composite RC planes, you’re likely familiar with CARF-Models. In this video, CARF-Models CEO Andreas Gietz pilots an excellent looking (and sounding) MiG-17. This 1/3.7-scale beauty comes in with a wingspan of 8 feet, 8 inches and a weight of 53 pounds. And of course we can’t resist the afterburner effect. Check it out!
MiG-17 Turbine Jet–With Afterburner Effect!
Very awesome aircraft and flying!
That was just beautiful, especially the low slow fly by with the flaps down. I think of all the earlier jet aircraft both the Mig 15 and the Super Saber 100 where the coolest of the bunch.
Beautiful, how much invested?
NIce looking model and a good flight. However, using continuous afterburner would go through his fuel pretty quickly. And I don’t think I have ever heard of any jet using AB on landing. If I was judging this flight for scale points, He would get a low score on realism of flight for that reason alone. Continuous afterburner is not realistic.

I do realize that it was done electrically, and just for effect. Just a comment for his consideration.
Absolutely a joy to watch, look so real in flight and sound. Thank you for the video!
