A few pictures and a video of the Mig 15 test flight (05/26/02).
I finally had a chance to fly it today (05/26/02), and all I can say is, WOW! I'm only running a 6 cell 270 mah NiMH battery pack and it hauls ass. It gains altitude from just a very weak hand launch. I honestly could not be more satisflied. Its definitely quite a bit faster than my GWS fuselage version litestick, and would smoke a Tiger Moth. It even glides good! Its nice to see all the work pay off. I originally took it out to fly this evening with the idea that it would probably be under powered and that it could be flown in a small grass lot next to my house. Welp, I took it out to said small lot just to do some powered test glides and boy was I wrong. It instantly picked up speed, never dropped an inch of altitude, I soon found out that my small flying field was inadequate, IT WAS TOO FAST. There is a video posted on the bottom of this page so you don't have to take my word for it.
