Earlier this year I test flew my Sig Sukhoi with a zdz-40. After the second run around the field the plane nose dived and I had no control. Luckily for me a friend was video taping and it was quite clear that the fusalage broke just behind the trailing edge of the wing. The rudder and elevator assemblies were perpendicular to each other.

Not sure what happened. After about 3 weeks Sig sent a new plane to me which I promptly sold (the buyer was told of my previous problem prior to purchase).

So bottom line, Sig's customer service was there for me, but the specific plane was not. So its either poor design or a poor build back east, way east as on a different continent.

At that point I opted to never purchase another ARF again which I havn't. I now have a GP 330L 33% thats almost finished and have a Carden 35% edge in the boxes ready to be built this fall/winter.

Hanger 9 has come out with their Sukhoi, of course its a bit bigger and almost twice the price.
