Setting Up and Flying the Avios MIG-17 Fresco. The MIG-17 by its very nature being an EDF model is not aimed at beginners, having said that it is a very stable and forgiving flyer that will bring a smile to the face to every pilot who flies it. It does very smooth jet style manouvres and aerobatics and looks fantastic when doing fast low passes over the take-off strip. Before flying please ensure that the model balances at the correct center of gravity point as shown on page 2 of this manual.
