So anyone interested in this one, not only that they provide training but they improved rear seat leg room and added a parking brake Wow !!!.
Now just add a big screen TV on the headrest of the front seat and hook it to a PS3 like West Coast Customs cars and we are done!
We will not even need fuel for it we'll just hangout in the hangar...:)

So... who's in ?
Greg I am waiting for your plans for electric conversion - I think that one small fuel rod "borrowed" from work should be enough.
I vow to pay for the first tank of fuel.. so long as I get to go on the ride to BURN IT!!
Shouldn't be too much for fuel - here it goes based on the Mig's data:
Taxi 80 Liter
Take off 250 Liter
Landing Circle 200 Liter (Landing + Reserve for two attempts 700 Liter)
Level flight 270 L/100Km
But since I know that if you are allowed to touch the throttle it will get stuck in "Ridiculous Speed" the consumption with afterburner is 6.5-8.8 Liter per second. Considering the fact the it only carries 2,850 Liters in internal tanks and you keep 1000 liters for takeoff landing and look around a bit. You will be left with about 3.5-4.5 minutes of really fast fast flying (almost like flying our staff).
By the way fuel will be about $2,200
Now as for electric conversion the plane weighs 14,300lb, (without fuel) for a 200W/lb power system we need about 3MW (only 5000S running at 150A) Or.... we borough on CANDU fuel bundle which should not be a big deal as it's only about half a meter long 10cm diameter and weighs about 20Kg and we can get 1GWh ;D we just need to drop it into a small aquarium of heavy water and we are set as the plane already has a turbine.
Some how 3.5-4.5 minutes for $2200 doesn't sound all that bad. Roughly $500/minute seems like a deal!! Do you know when hobby king will start selling them? Did you get a tracking number yet?

This sounds like a cheapo fuel bundle from HK. We use the Made in Canada variety from the local hobby store and get over 2 GWh per bundle!! :)

We should talk to hobbyking and ask them to carry higher density bundles maybe a "Nanotech" one
I just checked my bank account. I cant swing it. But man oh man does it look fun!
