The Jet Modeller Association (UK) had their AGM jet meeting today, although the conditions were far from ideal Steve Johnson was keen for me to get the SU-27 maiden done. A couple of U/C issues that only came up today-neither of us had obviously checked the gear with the wings on and the main doors stop in a different position when they stop on the wing, so the wheel struggles to clear. Watch out for this on any builds.
Some work on the field got just enough clearance for the gear to go away, Steve has a little more work, as on the first gear pass I had a hung leg. Luckily a second cycle got three legs in time for a hurried landing. Hopefully there is a video coming.
The Two 180's are ample power, I did not use full power once in the whole flight, take off and a vertical climb. Most of the flight was at 1/3rd power in a 17mph slight cross wind.
Its going to be great when we get it dialled in, my set up work was worthwhile as it landed with 0 on all trims :-)
