MiG-15!

Wikipedia

The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 (Russian: ?????? ? ??????? ???-15; USAF/DoD designation: Type 14; NATO reporting name: Fagot) is a jet fighter aircraft developed by Mikoyan-Gurevich for the Soviet Union. The MiG-15 was one of the first successful jet fighters to incorporate swept wings to achieve high transonic speeds. In combat over Korea, it outclassed straight-winged jet day fighters, which were largely relegated to ground-attack roles, and was quickly countered by the similar American swept-wing North American F-86 Sabre. The MiG-15 and F-86 Sabre were often considered to be the best fighter aircraft of the Korean War. [1]

Controls

There are none, basic flight controls and no guns. This is a trainer built type. Very simple and easy to fly. There is trim though, so I guess it has some controls I need to write.
