Default 3D

Which one of these two planes is the better flyer? Or better value or quality. Three D Hobby shops, 42 in. AJSlick, or E Flites 43in. Sukhoi su-26M. What I do know is, the carbon fiber landing gear, or the alumminum, carbon cracks, aluminum bends. On the Sukhoi, the elevator is weak and breaks, needs carbon fiber to brace it. The AJ slick does not seem to have any faults, except the landing gear. In the past carbon landing gear cracks and breaks in time, no matter how soft I land. The Sukhoi, is a prettier plane than the slick. What is the house opinion?

If you want to 3D the slick is a much much better plane. The Sukhoi isn't really a 3d plane per say. Its a great flying aerobatic plane that flys well but again not really a 3D plane. Now I have gotten the Sukhoi to 3D but its not as easy or as smooth as the slick.

Hear are a few short clips of the 42 slick.(it was windy and you can see the wind pulling the slick around but I had fun anyways)

and the last one is how well the slick is at being a boat ????

Now I don't have vids of the Sukhoi as its not ine but I have put about 10 flights on it

First flight today 3 clicks of left aileron, 4clicks of up elevator, to make the plane fly straight and level. Rudder zero. Battery adjustment. The edge on low rates is a gentle well behaved flier. Changed battery, second flight, this time high rates, awesome. I would love to have one of this plane, twice the size. There is nothing to say, except a video, of me flying it. I have a few photos for today. it goes where you point it, your only as good as what you put into the transmitter sticks. I find no fault with this plane.
