Default Phoenix Models Sukhoi Building Tips

Hey guys I know this model has been drug through the coals already. I was hoping we could get the build info all in one thread.

I just purchased one and am thrilled with the tight covering and apparent good build. My intentions are as follows

Power: Saito .82
Servos: 4 standard, one with ball bearings I will put on the elevator
I also ordered the Kyosho Sukhoi Breitling stickers.


Everything else is up for discussion.

1. Do I need to glass the wing joint? If so remind me how. I haven't done this in forever.

2. Should I use pull-pull connections anywhere?

3. Should I split the elevators? If so how should I set them up?

4. What size prop will I be using?

5. Landing gear mount. Is it sturdy enough as is?(UcanDo keeps breaking) or should I find a way to strengthen?

Any thing else I need to know as a build?

TIA
Mike
