Micro Sukoi Su-26XP BNF on its way

[simon1]

Been fancying one of these little things, are they just made of foam?
Looked on youtube at a few vids, and they look very agile, not bad for the price.

cheers

Yes there made of foam, is a good idea to tape/carbon rod ect all the week bits before hand, i only have tape so i've taped both sides of wings, both sides of elevator and tail too, should give me more strentgh in a minor crash.

Just stacked mine on landing, side wind tipped the tip of the wing next thing its cart wheeling down the concrete. Elevator bent bad, so got some pva out and some plastic sheeting and glued it up, soon as its dry will give it a test and see what happens.

That's a bummer dude, gutted for ya, hope the fix makes it stronger :)
Just been out myself and it is really windy today, was'nt much fun,omg it soon gets downwind, i very nearly had it out of site, up there and far down wind, was a mission toget back up to me, pooer little thing fought against the wind all the way.

i have flown it in very strong winds, but as of late the wind is quite turblent and thats harder to fly in than just strong wind :(

flew mine in 10mph yestersday, a real hoot. Set the elevator to max travel, ie lowest hole on elevator horn. Was far better but you do need circa 25% expo

I have mine on the inner hole too for when i'm tryin to prop hang and just have my dr for that channel set to 70% for normal mode and 100% for trick mode, lol it's like idle up hehe.

So where do you fly normally being in Nuneaton and assuming you fly helis too?

[Amxen.mick]

if you do a brushless conversion can you let us know how it goes. Iv still not flone my V1 had it almost a month now lol

[Twisted]

Well the repair worked well tested it on a very small field... You don't realise how fast they are until your airspace is very small :)

JUst found a comment on google not to use the mustangs nose cone as it overheats the motor due to blocking airflow, well thats the reason my motor lasted 5 days, well 2 really as the nose cone had been on for that long.

Which is the best out of the mustang p51 and the sukhoi 26m? cant decide:)
And is the standard tx that comes in the rtf version really that bad? just im not on 2.4, and I fly futaba;)

cheers

su26 is bnf only I believe! The mustang you can get with the x box style controller. As to be able to fly the SU you have to set up the expo
