Default RE: P-26 Peashooter

Kostas1,

Sorry, but I don't have a digital camera. Mind you, it looks exactly the same as the one in your picture above, same decals, same everything. I removed the flying wires from mine after the first couple of flights, as they would stretch & come loose if you bumped them. I also removed the wheel spats, as I fly from grass strip which gets a bit rough sometimes.

Delta3,

There were 2 other Peashooters at my club, and mine did always perform better. Theirs were powered with 91 four strokes, and performance wasn't spectacular. Mine is electric, and has much more get up & go than either of the others ever had. Maybe that was part of your problem - insufficient power for decent flight? Mine spins an 18x10 prop, and is quite sprightly in the air. Plently of grunt, and light on the wing. The fact that it's lasted since 2002 says something about its manners in the air. I'm not saying that yours didn't fly like a pig, but there can be a number of reasons for that, and it's not the airframe, my friend.
