Thanks for the continued updates on the Sukhoi. Mine should be here this week. Please keep us posted on yours and your final setups as you continue to fly it.
The missing wing retention bolts you mentioned, are you satisfied with this method? The online manual shows these to be 4x25 wood? screws. What size hole did you drill in the tube for them? How did you add the weight to the elevator tips? What is the oz/in rating of the servos you are using for aileron and elevator?

I used 4 Futuba 90 oz 3152 High Torque digital (new) servos from ebay.
The rudder was a 150 oz servo from RCU classified. Nice new servo works well. Digital also.
The batteries are Dual 1200 Nicads through a Y connector to the Futuba HD Digital switch. I know there are folks will cover the you can nots on dual batteries but I can make this work. Every 3 months I cycle all packs.
The radio is XPS 2.4 from Graupner using frequency hopping and working well also.
The control is rock solid with this configuration.
One small item. Our grass field has a few bumps and I am considering larger wheels. This doesn't mean the ones that came with it don't work. They do, but if you have a rough field you might consider the larger wheels.
