Hobby Lobby Mig 15

[19000rpm]

Well, I'm just going to have to get one of these.

As happy as I am with their little F-86 I'm sure I'll like the Mig 15 also. It appears to be a couple of ounces heavier than the F-86. I'm sure it won't be as fast as the Sabre, but if the air dams on the wings are functional it might have a little better handling at slow speeds. It will be interesting to find out.

Looks fun and exciting as always. Hobby Lobby seems to be coming up with some decent planes lately.

I like it! It looks good!
Same mfg as the F-86, same foam, same scale!
I love it! I need one too! I envision DOGFIGHTS in the future!

Ah man! Dave Powers talks about dogfights with his scratch built foamies. It sounds like a blast!

[19000rpm]

Yep, dogfights would be fantastic. I saw a couple of guys with souped up Mig 15's fly combat a couple of years ago at a club event and they were almost too fast and too agile to keep track of.

A friend of mine has an Artech Mig 15. It's a dog. Won't hardly get out of its own way. He's putting an Eflite Delta 69mm with an Eflite BL 15 in it. That should make it fast enough to be a worthy opponent for the F-86.

Whoo! That's the same setup as the Habu. That thing will scream!

I heard through the grapevine that the BL-15 can actually handle a 5S battery, even though its not rated for it. The guys on the forums seem to think there's more speed and definitely more thrust.

[19000rpm]

Holy crapola! I think he's planning on flying it with the 4S. I'll make sure not to tell him about the 5S. That'd probably rip the wings of that thing. It's no Habu when it comes to airframe integrity.
