earlwarren Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 (edited) I just watched the Mig-21 RSBN tutorial and I really liked it a lot. Thank you very much! I have one question: is there a way to automatically maintain altitude in the Mig-21? There is one part in the video before you do the cloud penetration approach at 24:02 where you say that you switch off the autopilot. The variometer before was very stable and I was wondering whether you merely trimmed the airplane to maintain altitude or whether you did this with some automated function? If yes, how is this done?

I have one question: is there a way to automatically maintain altitude in the Mig-21? [..] Yes, the SAU autopilot has the so called "Recovery Mode". This basically will bring the plane from any flight attitude to level flight. You can use this for example if you loose orientation inside clouds or during night. I am using that most of the time while flying to keep the aircraft going in the desired direction. 1 Check out my YouTube: xxJohnxx Intel i7 6800k watercooled | ASUS Rampage V Edition 10 | 32 GB RAM | Asus GTX1080 watercooled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxJohnxx Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 Hey guys! It has been a long time since I uploaded a video about the MiG-21 (or any aircraft for that matter!). Finishing my GCE A-levels and starting community service (instead of joining the military) as an EMT kept me busy in the recent weeks and months. However, after finally having made myself comfortable with the new editing software and having regained some energy/motivation (:P), I was able to finally record another tutorial that was requested: The video shows how to perform a Big Box approach using the RSBN station of the destination airfield. Hope you can enjoy the video!

Adamski Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 John - let me add my vote of thanks for these highly polished videos. I've only had the MiG-21 a few days and these videos helped enormously, as the ED manual can be a little "cryptic" sometimes!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zweistein000 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 These videos are great, but I'm really confused about the RSBN navigation because of inverted needles. Do you need to set the thin needle to the radial you want to intercept or the fat one? How does this change if you want to be going towards or away form the RSBN beacon? I know that video is very long, but would you be willing to make another video now that one (or both, not sure) needle are inverted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that video is very long, but would you be willing to make another video now that one (or both, not sure) needle are inverted? Well, you use the thin needels for everything now. The thin end either is the pointy bit so to speak, while the fat side is 180° reversed. IF you want to go to the station, the thin end of the 3K needle should be pointing to the station and the thin end of the other needle is pointing to the station as well. IF you want to go away from the station you point the thin end of the 3K needle away from the station while the the thin end of the other needle will be pointing to the station. I will consider making another video about this, however not within the next couple of weeks probably. Hope this helps anyways! 1 Check out my YouTube: xxJohnxx Intel i7 6800k watercooled | ASUS Rampage V Edition 10 | 32 GB RAM | Asus GTX1080 watercooled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
