Question: On page two of the Assembly and Operators Manual that came with my Mig21 (version 20050329 per back cover) there is mention of wing root gaskets. I cannot find them. What should I do?
Answer: The Mig21 wing fits into cavities in the sides of the fuselage. The wing root joint is therefore recessed and not exposed directly to air flow. The wing root gaskets are not necessary and not included with the Mig21 due to this unique method of recessing the wing roots into cavities in the sides of the fuselage. |
