Cool, i like the diversity of your shop ;), hope you sell these in the millions, there a super little fun plane.
Have just swapped the prop on mine for something i got for the minium but never used it, will see what happens tomoz.

Had 4 batteries through it today, getting about 6-8 minute a flight using
a hyperion 25c 160mah, have'nt noticed any difference from that compared to the stock battery.

Have had so much fun so far, i love it soooo much more than the minium 540.

Well swapping the blade was garbage, major loss of speed, did'nt like it at all compared to the bullet fastness of stock prop so back on goes the original.
Blade i used was a ep-5030.
I want some limitless climbing, anybody got ideas?

Have added selotape to underside and top of wing as well as doing the same to the tail, after the death of my minium 540 i realised it would of still been flyable had i selotaped it straight away, won't make the same mistake twice.

You need to use the micro Mustang prop. Makes a huge difference to the stock Sukhoi!!

Code is: PKZ3601

Got to admit that yelly and black nose cone looks awsome, should go with the yellow front of the xp.
Only place i did'nt tape up broke off last night during a hardcore low flying session lol, the top of the tailfin snapped off, nothing that alittle glue and selotape could'nt fix

On the tail of the su 26m I put thin strips of plastic (the window plastic you get off toys and Easter egg boxes etc) and pva it to the tail as this strengthens the foam and stops it bending in windy and on harsh maneuvers.

That's a cool idea, i have some of that stuff ;) ta.

Also if you have a landing on grass that flips it, it protects the tail when it ends up on its back :)

Changed to the 3d holes on the elevator, wow twitchy as hell, have dr on 50% for normal flight, think i'll try the tail and the ailerons if they can be done, was busting out some moves ealier, loads of fun.

Dude, we were talking about the SU26M, not the XP. The 26M comes with a different prop. :)

But duuuuude.........:) I think my original point was that the 26M with the Mustang Prop and a decent lipo is just as quick as the XP. Having flown both now though the throws on the elevator on the XP are insane. I did some proper knife edge passes with it at the field. So awesome, also you can get it for £65 for BNF from Inwood. So cheap! :cheers2:
