+I was pleasantly surprised by the Mig - 29. Firstly, finding a model in the [http://ftp.igh.cnrs.fr/pub/flightgear/ftp/Aircraft-3.0/ Aircraft 3.0 folder], the model was still compatible with my testing environment, the Flight Gear 1.0 environment, textures and all.
+Take- off was rapid, and rotation at 150 knots was a little uncertain, but once up, pointing the nose upwards and using full power made the thing climb at an astonishing rate. Turns and rolls were performed, and I found no bad stall characteristics, the plane mushing at around 120 knots or so, but of course approach was made at higher speeds, 170 knots or so for an easy nose up landing. Speed loss in tight turns was minimal, and placing the aircraft on the runway was quite easy.
+The bare cockpit needs to be filled with a pilot and instruments, but otherwise the model is convincing and detailed, and worth developing further.
+Approach Speed : 250 km/h about 120 kt.
