Yeah, I need to rebuild it and make an actual build log for it, but yes, it's coming soon, I'm also working on a second MiG... (it's a -21
)

As a child I've often seen take offs from the Mig-21 (Fishbed) at the local military airfield. At that time it was a Russian air base and today we start our model airplanes on this terrain - time changes. There is already a model from Depron for a 50 mm EDF that you should look at, maybe you will get some inspiration for the foam board version.

That is an amazing MiG! I looked at the manual, it was actually pretty helpful, thank you.
Yeah goodluck! I'll be happy to answer any questions, I hope you incorporate Ben's shelf and if you have any improvements I'd love to hear about it. Heads up, I'm am going to be updating the fuselage plans, not sure if that changes anything for you.

Hey!
Honestly the build has gone great and i look forward to the maiden! I did not have a 4s setup in a 50mm but i did have a 3s outta my old syncro which was bigger and heavier so i figured why not. Really the only small issue i had is that the rear servo slots were not printed in the plans but i can make it work, i do plan on using that battery tray and i choose to let the thrust tube stay round and just use poster board to do the underside of the tail which if it works should give it a rounded look . I am already planning on trying to fit a 64mm 4s in the v2(i placed it in the fuse and although tight i think it will fit). I will post picks when complete and i hope this project keeps evolving.

F86
Thanks for designing it! I think its something flitetest should do more of just for the fact that a jet typically is a perfect belly lander and they are fast so its a home run in my book! I was looking at your design and it wouldn't be hard to modify it to be a MIG 15 either.

Question
Do you happen to know the f86 weight... I am just wanting to be sure my 3s setup will fly it and i made a mistake its actually an 56mm edf.

As Zephyr said, the balance is more important. FYI: Mine was also a 55mm EDF, and flew with zero problems....even on ONE aileron!
