As much as you can get on aileron and rudder, I think about 70 mil on elevator but I'll confirm for you.
My Migs nose gear collapsed twice during taxi tests filling the cockpit with hydraulic oil, took a lot of work to get it right. On the Mig 29 as you know there is so much weight on the nose gear as its right back under the cockpit. I also cut the springs in the mains to lower the rear height as it had a negative A of A. This also relieves the nose of a little weight too and helps with rotation.
