Inspiring! Great job on the whole project.

Great job, particularly on the homemade canard mods. Any cockpit shots?

Big projects! Well done

Good stuff!

Thanks everyone! Yes Matt, here's the set up. Thirsty work...

MiG-23MS Red Eagles YF-113E from the secretive American Red Eagles squadron under the Constant Peg program out of Tonopah, Nevada in the 80s.
