Nilo: How do you rate the quality of you Juniaer Tucano compared to the one from Prince?

Well, I'm not sure how good the Tucano from prince is, but can tell about mine.

Positive points:
-Nice painting, very well done.
-Includes two pilots already installed
-Wing in one piece with ailerons and flaps installed
-Fuselage with rudder and elevator already installed.

Negative points:
-Flap size not in scale. Should be double of current size.
-Wheel not in scale. Two small. Should be at least double size, with cavity where it fits in the wings matching.
-Poor hinges quality for all surface controls, like a nylon strip.
-Wood bed where noose gear to be installed not well prepared and limit the retract size of probably some specific robart model. I had problens installing B&D retracts.
-I brought this plane from Brazil by some moving company. The factory package was a joke, not protecting the plane where it most needed. Result? Elevator riped off on its way. I had to fix the plane when got here!

I'm still adding all servos, engine,etc, so will tell how it flies soon.

I have the Prince America Tucano 60 in the Blue/Green scheme. I haven't flown it in over a year and it's available. 67" wingspan.

I'll sell with servos and with or without retracts, including a nice nose gear trailing link strut. It been used and isn't perfect, but is in very good shape. Never been pranged, just some rash.

PM or e-mail me if interested. [email protected]

Thanks Nilo. My question was in order to get information due to a possible trip to Sao Paulo Br.
I will follow your experiences with your model which I wish be satisfactories from now on.

Be aware that these RC planes manufactors in Brazil usually don't have the plane available, it has to be ordered and will be built as per your request, which takes around 2 weeks to get done. At least that's the deal with Juniaer.
Also be aware that you might have problems transporting the plane by regular airlines, as personal baggage. It's quite big and while consulting the airlines, I was told that I couldn't transpot it. I had the Tucano & wing packed by Juniaer in one unique box, which became too large. You may want to have fuselage and wing separated. It could work out.

Thanks again Nilo. If I get confirmed my travel I will contact Janiaer in advance to make plans. Thanks for the advice.

I was also looking for some missiles for my SU27 Flanker. Could not find any at a reasonable price so I built my own as well. I used the paper tube that is used for model rockets (cheap).

Here is a link to an article I posted on my web site on missile contruction.
