Mig-15 ducted fan

I've come very close to ordering the Alfa Mig or Sabre. Both great-looking models with what appears to be pretty impressive performance! I just wish they were four-channel models.

Do a search for "ALPHA MIG 15 BUILD" and you will find several pages of not only building hints, but testimonials of the great kit it is. As for needing a rudder, it flys to fast for it to be of any use. Only way to crash it is to have pilot error, I know as I am in the process of trying to reconstruct mine, and if that does not work I plan to purchase another kit. Gud Flying.............Dick

Well, flying it around like a bat out of hell would surely be fun for a little while, but after that, I'd want to be able to try four-point rolls, knife-edge flight, etc.. There's still a very good chance that if I see one of the Alfa models at the WRAM show this weekend, I'll pick one up.

I always had my eye on that kit. When you are finished and have flown it - please post your comments. They will be greatly appreciated by many on this group. regards

Thanks for the replies.. After some more investigation, I've ordered the Alfa F-86 for my first venture into ducted fans. The Mig appears to have some wing loading problems, is quite a bit faster (hence wing loading problems), plus I've been a fan of the Sabre since seeing Allan Ladd fly it in some flick back in the 50's I can't even remember the name of now. If anyone is interested, I'll post the results...... Cheers'n Beers.. [_]) Don

Let us know how it flies.. I've been eyeballing both the Mig and Sabre.. It'd be cool to stage some dogfights between the two of 'em..
