Default Well, it happened again.....

Went to the field to fly, came home with an extra airplane. A casual compliment led to a casual conversation that turned serious. The real problems came when I tried to stuff this monster into the car to take it home, I sweat it didn't look that large on the ramp....

Anyway it's a Goldberg Sukhoi 120 size, the kit version. And let me say, it is one of the nicest flying planes I've ever grabbed the sticks of. I could barely get it to stall, much less snap. Of course the CG is foward, that might change when it gets moved backwards. But if any of you are thinking of making the move into larger scale planes, you might want to consider the CG suklhoi. The plane had standard servos in it, and got along nicely with a Saito 120. Slows down to a near crawl, three point landings were very easy. Sure it needs recovering, and some stuff isn't quite up to my exacting standards, but I'll get it there soon. Man. I gotta make some room in the hangar.....

Oh yeah I made sure my daughter was wearing shoes this time!
