RE: AKM SU-27 Flanker-Does Look Good
nchrome, I am not sure how far you are banking the plane, but as you can see in the second pic, it is banked at close to 80 degrees. There was no sign of the nose dropping in the turns. Perhaps you did not have enough speed on? The wings are swept, so you need to fly this baby, not nurse it around the sky. I ran it up tonight at the field and I am getting a measurement of 12,500 rpms with the APC 12x8 prop and a slightly rich setting to give a visible trail in the sky. I am using a 16oz Great Planes fuel tank, and my battery is a 4 cell AA 2500mah NiMh pack in the port nozzle. Balance is on the front retract screws.
