MiG-23 Flogger

780 SJElizalde  7.7 years ago

First version of my MiG 23 Replica. I thought of tying the wing geometry to the throttle but left it as VTOL for now

Controls:
- Trim for flaps
- VTOL to change wing position (I don't recommend forward positions)
- AG1 to toggle moving wings
- AG2 for tail light
- AG3 for takeoff lights
- AG4 to release droptank
- AG5 to deploy drogue chute

Description:
"The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-23, NATO reporting name "Flogger", is a variable-geometry fighter aircraft, designed by the Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau in the Soviet Union. It is considered to belong to the Soviet third-generation jet fighter category, along with similarly aged Soviet fighters such as the MiG-25 "Foxbat". It was the first attempt by the Soviet Union to design look-down/shoot-down radar and one of the first to be armed with beyond visual range missiles. Production started in 1970 and reached large numbers with over 5,000 aircraft built. Today the MiG-23 remains in limited service with some export customers."
