Default RE: VectorFlight Sukhoi ARF tips wanted

Sorry to hear about your Sukhoi, Frag.

Been a while since I've visited this post, but I finally got mine up and flying. I used the Dubro 1 point control horns on all sufaces. Bought and installed Sig easy hinges, a few extra than what the instructions called for. Sulivan tail wheel mount, added tail wires as well. Hitec HS475 servos all around and a TT .91 4 stroke with APC 14X6 prop. Took advantage of the nicely pre-drilled firewall and mounted the engine at 7 o'clock with the exhaust out the bottom.

Boy, this is a nice flying plane! Took a few flights to get it trimmed out to my satisfaction but I love the way it handles. Lands a little hot, but not too bad. Snaps and knife edges nicely, even climbs in knife edge. Unlimited verticle with the 14X6.

Unfortunately, the weather here in RI is not co-operating and I've been grounded for a while. I'll get and post some pictures my next visit.
