Alfa Model MiG-21 Edf
|
The MiG-21, famous as "Fishbed" – its NATO codename, was the first successful Soviet type combining fighter and interceptor characteristics in a one airframe. It was a lightweight fighter, achieving Mach 2 with a relatively low-powered afterburning turbojet.
It is almost ready to fly. After finishing its assembly you only need to apply decals, install the ducted fan and your RC equipment. (64mm fan included) The model is made of polystyrene foam with tougher external layer, less prone to surface damage. In addition to that the plastic sheathing protects the exposed places. Thanks to the ratio of the in-flight weight and building material’s strength the model is rather sturdy and the risk of its damage in normal operation is minimal.
During the design of the model a maximum attention was devoted to the aerodynamic layout ensuring high aerodynamic lift/drag ratio, and providing thusly for a surprising range of speeds as well as for pleasant flight behaviour, typical of much larger models.
