	Sabre vs MiG - Korean War air combat adversaries
		The MiG could outclimb the Sabre at all altitudes, although the latter was marginally faster in level flight.
		The MiG's greater operational ceiling gave it an initial advantage in combat, yet although it had a greater initial acceleration in a dive, the heavier Sabre had the advantage in a sustained dive.
		The MiG's zoom climb and tight turning characteristics (except at high speeds) were valuable, but the fighter's good points were counterbalanced by such undesirable features as poor control at high speeds, a low rate of roll and directional instability at high altitudes.

	Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Even the F-86 Sabre, introduced in December 1950, was inferior to the MiG-15 in many respects, although superior tactics and pilot training often allowed UN pilots to get the upper hand.
		Desperate to get hold of an intact MiG for testing, the United States offered $100,000 and political asylum to any pilot who would defect with their airplane.
		While there is little doubt that the Focke-Wulf Ta 183 at least influenced MiG-15 design, some early sources go as far as claiming that the MiG fighter is little more than a re-engined Ta 183.

		The 23 mm and 37 mm weapons also had radically different ballistic characteristics, and some United Nations pilots during the Korean War had the unnerving experience of having 23 mm shells pass over them while the 37 mm shells flew under them.
		An advantage of this armament was that the MiG-15bis and later versions carried the guns in a detachable under-nose pack which would be lowered with a crank and reloaded in as little as 15 minutes, enabling rapid turnaround times.

	BVM MiG-15 with A.F.S. wings & tails
		If you have observed a MiG fly, or better yet, enjoyed some stick time on one, you know what a great flying machine it is. And, of course, the super wide track of the main gear just can't be matched for ground handling.
		The MiG's fuselage, fin, access hatches and ducting are hand crafted with just the right amount of fiberglass and Kevlar in just the right places to provide maximum service strength at minimum weight.
		Whether your MiG is scale or for fun, wing tanks always add to the overall look of a model.

	MiG Alley: MiG 15 vs. F86 Sabre
		The result of the MiG's poor stall characteristics was that pilots were uneasy about pushing the aircraft to the limit and hence the Sabre pilot had the edge in a turning contest.
		As the MiG was fitted with large bore slow firing canons, the MiG pilot had to pull far more lead in a turning fight compared with the Sabre pilot.
		The MiG's wing construction was not as stiff and the MiG suffered badly from wing flexing.

	MIKOYAN
		The MiG company was founded as an independent design department in December 1939 by Artem Mikoyan, a young aviation designer who had grown up in a remote Asian village.
		Few MiG interceptors, in fact, saw action during World War II, and it was only in the postwar era that the organization, known by then as the Experimental Design Bureau No. 155 (OKB-155), grew rapidly in size and influence.
		These included the MiG-15 (which shocked Western forces in the Korean War with its speed and agility), the MiG-17 (capable of supersonic speeds), the MiG-19 (the first mass-produced Soviet supersonic fighter), and the MiG-21 (known by the NATO codename "Fishbed"), which is quite possibly the most famous of all Soviet fighter planes.

	MiG 105-11
		The MiG OKB had studied a two stage manned orbital spacecraft in collaboration with the Korolev (overall system integration) and Tupolev (Mach 6 airbreathing first stage) since 1965.
		Although the MiG 105-11 was designed by the bureau to be adapted directly into a manned orbital spaceplane for launch from a Vostok or Soyuz booster, the decision was taken to use the configuration but develop a larger manned orbital vehicle for launch from the Zenit booster or by other means (see Uragan and Bizan).
		Korolev had been doing some 'back door' work with MiG in competition to Chelomei's R project for some time (Began with 1962 Mikoyan study '50-50': Hypersonic first stage to Mach 5.5; rocket stage with one man), and immediately proposed tests from atop R-7 rockets as early as 1967.

		One of the reasons for this rather poor record was the rather restrictive rules of engagement over North Vietnam, which required a close-in positive identification of the enemy before missiles could be fired, negating the advantage of the Phantom's powerful radar and long-range Sparrow missiles.
		The space between the jetpipes is occupied by a retractable field arrester hook which is used in emergency situations to stop the aircraft when the brakes have failed.
		The tiles attached to the F-15A's wing were ultimately subjected to almost 1.5 times the dynamic pressure which the Shuttle experiences during launch.

		Apparently Brown was either very skillful or very lucky, for he flew a Lockheed F- 80 Shooting Star, and the F-80 was no match for the MIG -15 jet fighter.
		The Russians swiftly began producing a close facsimile of the Rolls-Royce engine and soon were able to manufacture the MIG -15 in quantity.
		Some authorities believe that as many as 18,000 MIG -15s were manufactured, making the plane the most widely produced jet fighter in the World during the early 1950s.

		In some respects the MiG could out-perform the F-86 (it had a maximum ceiling a few thousand feet higher than the North American Aviation-built Sabre), but by the end of the shooting war in 1953, the Sabre had achieved a 10-to-1 kill ratio over the MiG-15.
		The MiG eventually made its way back to the United States, and after the Air Force had learned all it needed, it loaned the plane to the Navy, which brought it to Patuxent River in December 1954 for more than two months of testing.
		When Sutton bought his MiG, he did a lot of research on Rowe's career and life story, and invited Rowe to the convention to be a guest speaker - and to get a ride in a MiG-15.

	Russia (USSR) In Local Wars and Regional Conflicts
		By order of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR dated 15 December 1950 (but not published in the press), for their outstanding completion of their combat obligation the Order of Lenin was presented to Major Yu.
		Therefore, after 15 September 1951 it was forbidden for them to accompany Korean army units on operations in that country.
		Here is where the combat "run" of the Soviet jet MiGs began, which wound up conducting aerial combat with the newest American jet fighter of the time, the F-86 Sabre, which reached the front in 1951.

	Mikoyan MiG-15 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		From the end of the Second World War the USSR undertook a vast development program for modem jet-powered warplanes, and the first classic fighter to emerge was the swept-wing MiG-15, which flew in December 1947 as the 1-310 with a Rolls-Royce Nene II turbojet.
		The Nene was copied in the USSR as the RD-45, and in its improved RD-45F version this was used in the MiG- 15 production fighter, which entered service late in 1948.
		The MiG- 15 was extensively operated by the communist forces in the Korean War (1950-53), and its first-class performance and firepower came as a nasty surprise to the Western nations until ultimately the MiG- 15 and improved MiG- 15bis were equaled by the North American F-86 Sabre.

		In 1948, the Soviet MiG design bureau developed a high-performance jet fighter, initially called the I-310.
		B-29 losses to the MiGs reached such high levels that the United States Air Force stopped daylight B-29 bombing raids and flew all strikes under the cover of darkness.
		The MiG's combat success and its dependability made the plane very popular with Eastern Bloc and Communist nations around the world.

		One of many duels between Sabres and MiGs was raging at 10,000 meters (about 30,000 feet) over the southern shore of the Yalu River over North Korea, and the experienced CO of the American 336th FIS, Lt. Col.
		The MiG passed so close to Hinton's Sabre, that he wondered how they avoided a mid-air collision (the MiG driver missed Hinton's aircraft by less than 15 yards).
		During the time that the "Honchos" (the nickname given by the Sabre pilots to excellent MiG pilots) were in Korea, between April 1951 and January 1952, they shot down or damaged beyond repair 158 UN aircraft against 68 losses, an overall 2:1 kill ratio.

		This was the West’s first opportunity to study the Soviet jet, and Gen. Albert Boyd swiftly took Yeager, Maj. Tom Collins, and a team of flight test engineers to Okinawa, Japan, to conduct performance evaluations of the rare airplane.
		Yeager flew the high-Mach and high-altitude work on the expatriate MiG, and the firing tests of its heavy cannon.
		In one vertical power dive, Yeager pushed the MiG-15 beyond the bounds of stability and proved conclusively that the enemy plane was incapable of reaching supersonic speeds.

		The MiG-15 is still respected for its speed, maneuverability and firepower; advantages that made it a worthy adversary of the North American F-86 during the Korean War.
		The Mikoyan and Gurevich (MiG) design team utilized captured German technology when developing the layout of the MiG-15.
		B-29 losses to MiGs reached such high levels that the U.S.A.F. stopped daylight B-29 bombing raids and flew all strikes under the cover of darkness.

		In my mind, to look like a Mig 15 the horizontal stabilizer and elevator couldn't be altered to make construction and linkage attachment easier.
		Therefore, the connection of the two elevator halves was one of the first design issues I had when beginning the preliminary planning for the Mig.
		Some other designs of aircraft with similar tail configurations only use one of the elevator halves to control the pitch of the plane.

	Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 - USSR
		The first step toward producing the first MiG jet was known as the model I-250.
		It had a top speed of 560 mph (901.23 kph) which was much faster than the prop driven aircraft of the time, but not faster than the American P-80A Shooting Star (the designation "P" for "Pursuit" was changed in 1948 to "F" for "Fighter").
		And this was done with the slightly inferior F-86 which had neither the speed, maneuverability nor the altitude of the MiG.

		A MIG 15 UTI was recently housed in the Museum.
		At the end of the war, the loss ratio was 13 to 1 against the MiG.
		Russian pilots and their MiG's were sent to the Korean war, their aircraft stripped of all Russian insignia and wording, the pilots dressed as civilians, guarded by secret police, on the Trans-Siberian railway, to give them time to learn some Korean language.

		The MiG’s laser-cut wooden parts are a refreshing change from the die-crunched parts I’ve seen in some lesser examples, and the parts all fit precisely as shown on the magnificent set of CAD-drawn plans.
		Consider the planning that went into the design of the rear dive brakes: airline tubing was specially routed; special air cylinders and mounts were incorporated; and all the angles of extension and retraction were plotted out by means of CAD and applied directly to the kit.
		It is so predictable that I have let several friends fly it, and they all said that with minor stick changes to suit their flying style (taller or shorter sticks or exponential in or out), they could really get to love the airplane.

		Best of all, if the MiG you like has more markings than you are in the mood to paint, Jerry Caudle's company, ProMark, makes all kinds of dry-transfer lettering, markings and "rivets" for the MiG* (and any other subject as well).
		If you want to fly the MiG on a turbine, the safest fuel tanks are of molded Kevlar (which will remain intact in the event of a mishap).
