    @Jurassicty060 Agreed that would be rather optimistic, However the MiG-21's armaments weren't THAT great, A NR-23 23mm and later GSh-30-1 30mm (IIRC) plus the anemic missiles, But an upgraded variant with AA-11's would be a lot to deal with for such a tiny fighter.

    Here are the schematics of the whole project. Page 33 you will see the idea they had in mind on gears & Other landing solutions.

    @Djorg708 Yeah he did a decent job, I like the integration of air brakes and I may have to install those on my own, I installed landing gear on mine since I wanted to see how well it takes off, CoG does shift considerably when fuel and ammo stores run out.
