Mig 21 with great scale details (...Faster than Ed's yellow rocket)

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!!

[Bobmic]

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  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!
