correct as is FF MiG-29A Fulcrum tail strike when holding brakes.

[Johnnymar15]

Basically, if you hold your brakes in the MiG-29 during takeoff while running up your engine, and then release the brakes the moment you hear your afterburner activating, the MiG will try to rapidly raise its nose, resulting in a tail strike.

Hi, 

thanks for the track. 

From the manual. 

Afterburner takeoff

Afterburner detents unlock by pressing [0] the on the throttles when needed If an AB takeoff is desired, smoothly advance throttles to max AB after brake release. Maintain directional control with the rudder pedals. Wheel braking should not be used for directional control during takeoff roll. Due to a nose-lowering tendency during intake duct opening delay rotation until it has occurred. When reaching safe altitude retract gear and thereafter the flaps. Rapid full aft movement of the stick may result in the exhaust nozzles hitting the runway

So you should be releasing the brakes before reaching full afterburner.

thank you
