I have 4 jets now
-Viper
-f-18
-BVM Bandit
-Mig 29

I found out I need some expensive work done on my teeth, and I have a legal issue I am having to hire an attorney for. So gotta sell some stuff, and the mig was the best choice to sell as I don't have anywhere to fly it.
I used to fly at an airport but Im not going anywhere near it with the FAA beating us down these days.

So today before the elevators I decided to install the landing gear and some air lines + I rotate the carbon fiber wing rot clamp to have the tight screw on top not facing the bottom this will help to tight the wings just from the top two holes

So after some time getting back to the project with brand new fuel tanks specific for twin turbine power so today got the single turbine mouth out and reinforced the floor with carbon cloth and velcro stripes to secure the fuel tanks in place .there is a one problem with the right landing struts it's not holding the pressure and drops completely loose what do do with the problem?

I am getting an used MiG, flown by twin 100 turbines. I got one VT80 already and I am pondering what to do with it.. Either buy another VT80 and fly twin VT80 , or install single pipe (which is included in the deal) and buy 200 series turbine into it.

I think single would give more thrust and ease of operation.. ? VT80 is bit weak for this airframe, OVT system is already installed..

Could someone measure the widht of the plane with tailplanes installed, without wings, please? I would like to know if it would fit 5-series Beemer tailgate without removing tailerons..

So after long break I got back to the mig, the first thing I decided to do with it is the rudder extra reinforce ,so I drilled a long hole through the carbon rot and glue a titanium threaded rot for extra nut the results are good the rudder us much stiffer and much more secure ,so now the rudders will have one extra nut to hold on to.
