All I can say about this ARF is that, it is AWESOME....All the control surfaces and doors are already done for you with working canopy and air brake. About 70% of the SU-27 is carbon fiber. Has good panel lines and rivets. The nose gear could've used a little bit more attention, its missing the actuator that is aft of the nose strut and the door that conceals it. Also missing are the RWR/Elient sensors on the intake ducts. I am going to attempt to stay in the 55-60lbs range thus i'm running 2 Jet Central Cheetahs 160 SE which give me 72 lbs of combined thrust on 291oz of fuel, which gives 8.5 minute flight time. In fuel alone my weight is around 19 lbs. Running Spektrum high voltage servos all the way around. I hope to be the first one in the air, but finances are tough since it's 18k jet when done... The last jet I flew that was this expensive for me was the Flyeagle F-14 (Tommycat), which came in @ 15k.

I hope much success and enjoyment to any other pilots and builders out there... Keep them Flying....
