E-Flite UMX Mig-15 DF Ultra Micro EDF Jet Fighter with AS3X Maiden Raw Footage and Bonus Flight
The E-Flite UMX Mig 15 DF Ultra Micro EDF Jet Fighter with AS3X Technology is an amazing little rc plane! It is extremely scale in spite of its very small stature and flies really well as you can see in the Maiden video.

The Maiden Flight is 100% raw and unedited for you to see exactly how this thing flies out of the box. I enjoyed flying it so much that I may actually buy another one since it is only $80 right now! I am also happy at how nice is looked flying around at with the nice sunset in the background.

Part of me wants the Great Planes F-86 Sabre to go on deep discount, so I can pick that one up too and play war games with my flying buddies with JETS! The question is who would get the crazy man from Russia (USSR) and who would be the good guy?
Here is what Horizon Hobby has to say about this plane:
"The E-flite® UMX™ MiG 15 DF aircraft is a 4-channel breakthrough in ultra micro electric ducted fan technology. Based on the swept-wing jet fighter that launched aerospace into a new performance realm, E-flite expertise brings an RC ducted fan with true jet performance you can fly almost anywhere. Its appearance is stunning with crisp scale features, like a near exact outline, cockpit interior and surface details as authentic as they get. Its DSMX® control system offers the utmost in precision, plus the versatility of a full working rudder and proportional nose wheel steering. To make every flight rock solid, the onboard AS3X® System will have you believing that you're at the controls of a Giant-Scale model, even in moderate winds."
Plane history:
The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 (Russian: Микоян и Гуревич МиГ-15) was a jet fighter developed for the USSR by Artem Mikoyan and Mikhail Gurevich. The MiG-15 was one of the first successful swept-wing jet fighters, and it achieved fame in the skies over Korea, where early in the war, it outclassed all straight-winged enemy fighters in most applications. The MiG-15 also served as the starting point for development of the more advancedMiG-17. The MiG-15 is believed to have been the most widely produced jet aircraft ever made, with over 12,000 built. Licensed foreign production perhaps raised the total to over 18,000.[1] The MiG-15 is often mentioned along with the North American F-86 Sabre as among the best fighter aircraft of the Korean War and in comparisons with fighters of other eras.[2]
The first turbojet fighter developed by Mikoyan-Gurevich was the Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-9 NATO reporting name: Fargo which appeared in the years immediately after World War II. It used a pair of reverse-engineered German BMW 003 engines, which had been used on the Messerschmitt Me 262A-1b test aircraft, only a few of which were ever built. The MiG-9 was a troublesome design which suffered from weak, unreliable engines and control problems. Categorized as a first generation jet fighter, it was designed with the straight-style wings common to piston-engined fighters.
The Germans failed to develop reliable turbojets with thrust over 2,500 lb which limited the performance of Soviet jet designs. By 1946, Soviet designers were impressed by the Rolls-Royce Nene engine. Soviet aviation minister Mikhail Khrunichev and aircraft designer A. S. Yakovlev suggested to Premier Joseph Stalin the USSR buy advanced jet engines from the British. Stalin is said to have replied, "What fool will sell us his secrets?"[6]
The MiG-15 was widely exported, with the People's Republic of China receiving MiG-15bis models in 1950. Chinese MiG-15s took part in the first jet-versus-jet dogfights during the Korean War. The swept-wing MiG-15 quickly proved superior to the first-generation, straight-wing jets of western air forces such as the F-80 and British Gloster Meteor, as well as piston-engined P-51 Mustangs and Vought F4U Corsairswith the MiG-15 of First Lieutenant Semyon Fyodorovich Khominich scoring the first jet-vs-jet victory in history when he bagged the F-80C of Frank Van Sickle, who died in the encounter (the USAF credits the loss to the action of the North Korean flak).[10][unreliable source?] Only the F-86 Sabre, with its highly trained pilots, was a match for the MiG.
I personally like my UMX Habu, Habu 180, Micro Habu, Habu UMX, UMX Habu 180 DF, Habu 180, or E-Flite UMX Habu over the UMX MiG-15 or Habu 2 or even the Habu 32.
