What exactly did you change on this one? This one doesn’t really seem capable of stable controlled flying at lower speeds since you keep departing from flight
For your first aircraft this is really very good. I’m a huge mig fan, especially fictional variants of real migs, so I very much enjoyed seeing this swing wing version. Just a couple things that I’d look at are getting the plane up to speed it goes a little slower for a swing wing version of a jet capable of mach 2. Maybe adding a second engine for an afterburner would help with that. Second I’d try to hide the hinge rotators a bit better. Scaling them down more is probably the best way to go. Overall though your plane is excellent. Very sleek and incredibly stable while having a fairly realistic turn rate. For your first upload, this is really excellent and I’m looking forward to seeing more from you in the future!
Wow this is a great looking aircraft! One of the coolest fictional ones in a long time actually! It flies very smooth too (a bit too unrealistic but I suppose that’s what you get with a 30:1 P:W ratio and it’s fun). The cannons need to be set to “disable aircraft collisions” to not blow the plane up when they are used but that way you can’t shoot down other aircraft either. Overall though I love this build!
It looks goo and the overall shape and quality of how things are built is pretty good, but in terms of flying it isn’t great. It can’t hover properly (because of how the VTOL Nozzles are placed) and it’s turn radius is also huge, especially at lower speeds, for an aircraft which has a gun and air to air missiles. If you gave it larger control surfaces and an all moving horizontal stabiliser as an elevator, it will move much better! Lastly, you also might want to move the nozzles further as due to the aircrafts more unusual shape, the CoM is much more forward than normal and the CoT should be where the CoM is (only for VTOLs!). This sounds like a lot but they are mostly easier fixes to make. After looking at your other planes too I bet you could make a new version of this that works much better. Cool looking build overall though!
@Hedero yeah they weren’t needed towards the end of the war and they had more problems than anticipated. Regular Corsairs were more than sufficient and F8Fs were slightly superior. They are magnificent machines though
@Hedero no there were only 10 made, 5 for ships and 5 for land. Two F2G-1s still fly today but one has been modified heavily into a racer for the Reno Air Races
@Brields95 Source? Only 10 trails/pre production aircraft were made, five for carriers and five for land, so I would be very surprised by that. They were cancelled after. Also the only airworthy example that hasn’t been modified for racing is a F2G-1 (ground version) and can fold it’s wings still. It’s currently in Seattle
@Hedero yeah it would be nice but this was the first time and I don’t think it’s too common. I’ll just post everything unlisted first to test it out. I probably should have done that anyway
@Hedero it was lighter without the hydraulics and since it’s not a necessity for ground aircraft (the 1D was for ground and the 2 was for aircraft carriers) less weight was better
@Hedero I had something similar with my last post except the rudder on the version I had saved actually worked. SP works in mysterious ways sometimes hahaha
This is great! Excellently detailed and fairly realistic manoeuvrability too. Those wings look lovely as well but those pesky rudders are always getting stuck hahaha. Nice one overall :)
This is a pretty nice build. It flies well and looks good but it feels like it’s missing some things. Landing gear is one and maybe a bit of detail or something else too. Also I’m personally not a fan of the ortho view for screenshots. Those engines exhaust nozzles though are a work of art! Overall I really enjoy this plane but it could easily be even better
Excellent aircraft! You made it fly very realistically and gave it a lot of detail. That cockpit is a nice touch too. The landing gear sticks out a little bit but other than that this is a lovely aeroplane!
@Hedero indeed hahaha
+1His version is lovely too so I understand why
Pretty neat!
+1Very nicely built! I’m surprised to see another one of these that’s so well made on here
+1This is just beautiful
This is wonderful! It really looks like a late 30s fighter. Also lovely cockpit
+1Awesome! This is exactly what I was hoping you’d make
+1Lovely MiG! Proportions and shape of the nose could use some work but good job overall
@Brields95 now that is disappointing but thanks for letting me know. Time to report I suppose
Other than the fact that the plane seems to commit seppuku when it goes too fast, this is pretty cool!
+1Cool! Other than this being way to fast, you did a great job on this! The shape is really good and I love the mouth you made on the front
Really lovely build! I don’t think I’ve seen one of these in North Korean colours on SP before.
Excellent build! It looks great and flies great too. You should add some tags to your post though!
This is really pretty neat. Good looking engine and I love how you made it a cutaway
+2What exactly did you change on this one? This one doesn’t really seem capable of stable controlled flying at lower speeds since you keep departing from flight
@Timplaner lovely! I’ll take a look at it

This too looks great but again flight characteristics should be looked at. Overall though great effort!
+1This looks great! For one of your first uploads it’s lovely. You should work on flight stability. Adding more wing area should help :)
+1Very nice harrier! It flies lovely and looks great too
@DJS8Corporations It’s a tough thing to do but well worth the results it yields!
Lovely build of a lovely plane! The windows could look more seamless with the fuselage but overall it’s fantastic. Great job!
To make it fly better either move the CoL backwards or CoM forwards. It looks very good though!
Are you Sheldon Cooper by chance? Hahaha
+1This is super fun to fly and has a lovely bomb bay!
@Hedero yeah they weren’t needed towards the end of the war and they had more problems than anticipated. Regular Corsairs were more than sufficient and F8Fs were slightly superior. They are magnificent machines though
@Brields95 neither of the two planes I referenced have crashed to the best of my knowledge. Racer 57 still flies and Seattle still has their aircraft
This is the most fun thing to attack the convoy with
@Hedero sounds good :)
@Hedero no there were only 10 made, 5 for ships and 5 for land. Two F2G-1s still fly today but one has been modified heavily into a racer for the Reno Air Races
You might wanna check out Rule 2.3
+1Much better!
I like it! The edited version flies really well :)
Nice build! Looks and flies pretty good!

@ArchibaldBalence hahaha yeah there is no need to redo this one. Just add those features to your next build :)
@ArchibaldBalence great to hear! If you need help with it feel free to ask but I’m sure that if you tinker around with it you’ll make great ones
Awesome! I’d definitely stay there
Pretty sure the F2G-1 had folding wings. Not hydraulic like the F2G-2 but manual ones @Hedero @Brields95
This is great! Excellently detailed and fairly realistic manoeuvrability too. Those wings look lovely as well but those pesky rudders are always getting stuck hahaha. Nice one overall :)

Very nice build! Funny link you put in the comments for this aircraft too hahaha
