HEADLINES: RUSSIAN MIG 17 CAPTURED by giant Cyborg Super Soldiers, "Mandrake" and "Bloodroot", in a top secret covert operation, code-named "Rewrite History", for the domination of the New World Order. "Mandrake" and "Bloodroot" sneak up on their target.

The giant, man and machine hybrid, robotic Cyborg Super Soldiers, Mandrake and Bloodroot, were transported back in time through a wormhole portal, with the use of the newly discovered "Ark of the Covenant" chest, and it's magical powers.

They were transported through the 12 dimensions of interstellar space and reality, back in time to January 16, 1966, to a top secret remote airbase in the Russian Boreal Siberian Forest, where the Mig 17 was cleverly concealed with it's Russian Winter Camouflage pattern. (continued next post)

Prior to teleportation, the containment area was secured and cleared of all functioning enemy combatants, with a top secret scalar sonic pulse sound weapon, that caused all of them to lose their bowel control. :o

"Mandrake" and "Bloodroot" arrive uncontested, and examined and scanned the captured MIG 17 with their penetrating ionizing laser pulse microwave X-ray eyes for future analysis and reverse engineering.

"Mandrake" and "Bloodroot" and the MIG 17 were then beamed back into the future, for further research and strategic planning. The findings are next...

I built this Mig 17 , but I don't have a build thread, back in June 2015 when I just started balsa modeling in the "Virtual Aerodrome" website. It weighed 58 grams. I actually won a first place, in the jets category, at the Model Show Sept 17 2016, at the Historic Hangar in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. (The only other time I won a category, was with the 24" Nieuport 11 Bipe from Guillow's on Oct 18 2014).
I beat out the plastic guys, with my winter camo scheme balsa Mig 17 jet (the camo design tissue is from Ez Built I think). Well, actually only beat out one plastic guy, who had a very detailed plastic model, but, ... it was the head guy's, super detailed plastic model F18 ...... grin.
Pics to follow:

- eight random Mig 17 pics off of the web
The Mig 17 is "DUMAS" kit # 234 18" wingspan $37 in 2015 - it comes with peel 'n stick decals (but I made my own), and yes it is very easy to build as a rubber powered model, because the kit has the prop, thrust button, prop shaft, removable nose block in the plans, etc - also it is laser cut - I only built this one for static display, though.

What a well explained powerful video - just watched it - gets right into the aerodynamic details - ten out of ten.
And that is all for the pics, and all for the mighty Russian Mig 17.

Please do your research more thoroughly! In post 5, image 1, there's no F-105 Thunderchief to be seen anywhere. MiG-21, MiG-17, and Phantom!
There are many people among the forum readers who know a thing or two about this subject.
Besides, I find posts like this inappropriate for the HPA forum. Sorry, but that's my take on it.

I know ... I got that one wrong. Sorry. :'(
Hi Last wood.
I actually built a flying version of this thing and when it wasn't crashing comically, it flew spectacularly. It had a prop up front and was built from Don Srull plans. Right off the board it flew away on me. Next two flights it lawn-darted on me. But it was never boring. I kept the weight down to sub-20 grams for even the big one. I am going to build one more, I've done a pistachio and a walnut. It's the great altitudes this thing flew to then, I either looked like Einstein or Pee Wee Hermann.
You ought to adapt your story for the stage. Get the Rock and Jason Stratham to play the lead roles. I will sell fun-sized weenies and Pepto Bismol cocktails in the lobby during intermission.
