Luis_Julie,
The plane went together very smoothly. There were just two slight bumps in the process: 1) cutting the cowling (of course) and 2) Installing the control system for the rudder and elevator (it took both of us). I may have some videos from the last time we flew. I'll look later this evening.

Watch_ur_6,
Yes the engine is side mounted.

All in all this is an amazing plane. I think we're going to add the Sukoi to the fleet very soon!
