Fast, Tough, No frills fun at a great price |  |
Our Mig has a 28" wingspan, is 28" long and has a flying weight of 18-1/2 oz. Looking for a jet that you can take anywhere and fly at a moments notice? Look no further, the Mig-15 is a receiver-ready EPO jet that is pre-painted and ready to assemble in about an hour. The wings and tail are reinforced with carbon tubes for a solid and reliable airframe. Designed for simple everyday flying, the model is hand launched and lands on the reinforced drop tanks.
Includes a 64mm ducted fan with a 4300Kv outrunner brushless motor and 30 amp controller with BEC. A 1600mAh 3-cell LiPo battery (pre-connected with genuine Deans Ultra connectors) supplies the power. Three 9-gram servos are pre-installed and ready to plug into your radio equipment; a minimum of 3 channels is required. The large battery hatch is held in place by magnets making battery swaps quick and easy. Easy to hand launch, the model handles easily and is a solid performer with good speed and a quick roll rate. Landings are low anxiety events due to the slow approach speed and the tough airframe. The MIG-15 is also available Airframe Only version.
Full throttle flight speed is around 65MPH and flight time on the included 1600mAH LiPo pack is 5-6 minutes.
What is EPO Foam? - EPO Foam is similar to elapor and other durable foam used for building model airplanes. It is denser and more forgiving to knicks and scratches than EPS or "Ice Chest" foam. It holds up well over time and resists dings, dents, and minor crash damage.

HL's MIG-15 and Sabre offer a lot fun for a few bucks. Check out this video for build and flights.

I am an average pilot and and have been looking for a good starter EDF for some time. I had tried some cheaper models (i.e., Hobby King), but had no success. I have always liked the look of the MIG-15, so this model seemed like a good one to try.
The airplane is very easy to assemble. All components were in good shape and the CG came out perfectly with the supplied battery. I was very happy with the overall kit quality.
I have considerable experience hand launching airplanes, but I was still a little nervous with this one. Luckily, the shape of the plane allows for a good grip, and my first hand launch went perfectly. Just make sure you give it a good straight push - and get a friend to help on the first flights. The flying qualities are very good - good control and not overly sensitive. The only uncomfortable moments came when I performed maneuvers that resulted in a very low airspeed. This happened when I tried a loop without sufficient airspeed. When the plane slowed down at the top of the loop the controls become useless, and the plane tumbled and fell out of control until sufficient airflow was moving over the surfaces. This is the big difference between an EDF and a prop plane, where the prop wash still provides control even with minimal airspeed.
The speed range is excellent - from brisk to a very reasonable landing speed. Landings on grass have been nice and smooth with no damage at all. Another nice thing is the relatively pleasant sound of the motor - my other EDFs had a very shrill squeal that was really unpleasant. This one isn't bad at all.
I really can't think of a single complaint about the model. It is the perfect introduction to EDFs if you have some sport aileron experience, and just make sure you keep the speed up (or fly high!).

You get excellent bang for the buck here. It looks good and is built pretty solid. Plenty of power and very stable. Just be careful and make sure you glue everything together together straight. There is some play when dry fitting the wings and horizontal stabs, so just be sure that everything is centered. Also, be sure to watch Jason's launch video. I wish the flight times were a bit longer, but that is typical of EDFs. Overall, this is an excellent little Mig, and I highly recommend it!

This is a great little jet, not like the F-86 Sabre "Jolley Roger" EPO Jet ARF, this Mig-15 is built much tougher, I really like it...

I just received an email from HL, and they are replacing the damaged parts, they do have the best service I have ever seen. Thank you HL..
