Failed MiG-9 replica becomes an insanely maneuverable plane

[TheDestroyer111]

(BTW, this is my first thread in this section! just sayin')

At one point, I got crazy making replicas in KSP, and at one point in that time, I moved to make the russian thingies. One of them was this. A failed replica that doesn't really look like the real one. If it weren't such an unusual plane, I would delete it and probably make a new one, but after a while of flight testing, I noticed that despite being stable (At typical airspeeds, its CoL is enough far behind CoM that it doesn't do a Pugachev's Cobra at typical airspeeds and atmospheric pressures when you fully engage the controls), and not even being a canard design, it is insanely maneuverable - More maneuverable than even the legendary Aeris 3A! The design is really very simple - a cockpit, nosecone, 2 small turbojets, simple wings and tail section. Speaking of the tail section, it is easy to loose the tail when buzzing close to buildings, and it is fairly stable after losing the tail. It does flip a bit without SAS (after losing tail), but as long as you don't do yaw heavy manuevers and use SAS, it's enough for an emergency landing. Here's some screenshots, and the craft file:

Is that shot with or without the missing tail?

[TheDestroyer111]

The tail is intact on the screenshot.

It'd be great if we could get a top view, the wing profile is really hard to make out from the side. Also front and back, if it's not too much trouble.

Funny you bring up the MiG-9. I finally learned the basics of flying with Ferram Aerospace Research in something like that, thanks to Veeltch.

This craft didn't even need a tail rudder, just a tail fin. The reaction wheels in the inline Mk1 cockpit give enough torque for yaw authority. Of course the real thing doesn't have that

 

See if this craft file (96 KB) is any use. There's FAR-specific things in it though.

Here you go, I edited the main post of this thread.

Hi, can we have DL?

[TheDestroyer111]

DL means download for craft file? Here you go, look on the main thread post again. BTW, this download probably won't be in my MF files forever

I'd recommend uploading it to kerbalx.com

Medfiafire links are not allowed, worse, that site tried to download malware to my windows directory.
