I got 15 flights in on the Sukhoi XP yesterday! I gotta say,I'm not too impressed with the plane! It flys ''OK'' and has more rudder authority than the Pole Cat,but that's about it! The BIG Cigar nose catches alot of wind effecting tracking alot! 3 friends also flew both modles,and said the Pole Cat is a better flying plane,hands down! One even made the comment: ''it (the Sukhoi) flys like a pig'' just wallowing through the air! LOL! The finnish is very rough,compared to the Pole Cat. Little dimples ( more like warts) everywhere,but I've sanded them off,in a attempt to ''clean up'' the air frame. It also won't fly knife edge (I'm guessing not enough power) it has alot of rudder throw? I made alot of trim/CG adjustments to the Sukhoi and it flys better (not great) but better. This is gonna be a fun project! Trying to make a silk purse, out of a sow's ear! LOL! Ron
