RE: Well, it happened again.....
It's not so much that I spend $300 or so on a second hand airplane. It's that other $100 or so that I wind up spending fixing what's wrong and making things "my" way. And the Sukhoi actually was closer to $200, but I needed a receiver, and wasn't happy with standard servos on the rudder and elevator. I put Hitec 635's, I think they were, the karbonite geared monsters on. Nice solid little pieces of work, they really look and feel high quality. You can fan yourself with the rudder and elevator now. Not to mention a voltwatch, a bigger fuel tank (it had a 12 ouncer in it, I went to 16), and I'm still not done because it's gonna need to be recovered. But it's worth it......
BTW, anybody in the market for a second hand warbird? Might be having a "Crazy Andy's Closeout" sale here when I go all .60 size or bigger.....
