Has anybody flown the sukhoi yet? Thinking about getting one.


I have the Sukhoi with a Magnum 91 4-stroke in it and the Sukhoi flies great, It's like it's on rails but you need to keep the speed up a little on landings or it will drop a wing. I laterally ballenced it before flying so it's not bad at all but does need to keep the speed up. It's my most flown plane.

IronCross, I started with a 15x4 to get good climb and it worked great as a break to slow it down for landing until I got used to it and now I've been using a 14x6 and still has good vert.

Doorbell rang and I found this big box on my front step.. My new 66 inch Extra was here.. What a beauty... I have been flying the 58 inch Extra and having a blast with it.. It has become my main plane.. Looks like the 66 inch Extra may replace it though.. Can't get over these great flying planes at these prices.. And fantastic customer service to go with the deal... I don't think CW ever sleeps..

Thanks

Status: offline 		I love my VF 66" Extra. But anyone find that if they fly to slow the extra tip stalls and wants to nose over??? Slow speed is ok at stright and level but dont use the ailerons. All throws are to instructions.

Try checking that.

Good luck!

I have an OS 60 FP on my 58" Extra and it is no way under powered. So your 60 FX should be just fine.

Status: offline 		Scott, Thanks for the info. Just received it yesterday and I have say I'm impressed. It's certainly one of the better constructed ARFs I've seen. Instructions are weak....and would be hard for a first/second timer. Looking forward to getting this bird up.

Thanks,
Matt

Status: offline 		How does the VF 58" Extra 300 perform with the Saito FA 80? Been looking for a long time for an A/C to mount the 80 on. Worried it might be a bit underpowered. I'd appreciate your opinion. Thanks!

Best wishes,
