As far as landing, this plane comes in like a glider, very easy to land, and slows down good also,, remember it has a air brake!
I have flown all of the vmar propjets except the f18,, and they all fly very good, ecept for the A4 Skyhawk,, that little sucker is very jittery and some times down right scary,,.. very easy to snap in a turn, and once she does that,, it is very hard to get back into control!

If the take off run is to long with the SU-27 then i will probably go for the F4.
SU-27 looks like a heavier model.
Bit more going on with the airframe. Intakes slung underneath the fuse, twin vertical stabs and looks like slightly less wing area too. I really like the look of the SU-27 though. Looks scale to me.

Have heard bad things about the VMAR A4. Have to bring it in like a meteorite apparently. The VMAR prop-jet that surprises me with how well it flies, is the Mig-21. That thing doesn’t appear to have much wing, but it flies fantastically well.

SU-27, definitely the best in appearance, at least so far.

thanks for the info on the engine 615 i have decided to go for the os 90 and talking to a club member tonight he said a 90size will be good to get her going off our site . so will pick it up saturday and will put some pics on here to show all the box contents .oh forgot to mention that if you go onto http://www.jettengineering.com/hall/baker-su27.html this is a.k models su27 all that is diffrent is that this one has no air brake . but damn does this thing move and as with take off and landing very impressive. expecially the slow glide in then full power to then go all but vertical . watch and enjoy cheers paul.

the AK su27 is much lighter then the Vmar and probably the best prop SU 27 on the market .For the money the lasor cut quality is second to none !!
I have asked Alex to consider an ARf and he siad he was trying at one time

The AK model SU27 is a nice plane,, but you have to build it,, and thats one thing i dont have time for, or the patients anymore!! If Alex of ak models could get that design built in china as a ARF it would be a big seller i think. The vmar su27 is just alittle larger then the ak models version. not by much though.

ya , I dont have the time either , that is why I ask him however I will take a serious look at the Vmar , I was really interested in the there past planes but still have not taken the jump

ok i have been looking at the su27 vmar , now can anyone tell me if there are y type wires inside for the elevator aswell as rudder as it says 7 servos but i must be going mad as i cart see why 7? lol . cheers paul

the rudders each have a servo, and the elevators each have a servo. the plane will have 8 servos with the air brake hooked up.

Can you but this in the states yet , I did not see it on there site at all

Richmondrc should have the plane for sale by summer,, thats what i was told. they are going to have the L-39 also, .50 size.

thanks

thanks for info js615 . can you give me some info on the air brake please? i have just got the model home opened up the box and it doesnt show you at all how to mount the air brake? appart from that very pleased with the kit very lare air frame qualty is tops with the rivett marks. as well as the way everything seems to fit like a glove . look forwood to your replie mate any pics would help thanks again paul

Will be ordering mine on monday. Cant wait to get the box open!

you certainly wont be dissapointed phippsa the kit is excellent ! but like i said in my last post only problem i see at the mo is how to install the air brake. not sure what size servo to put in yet as i guess it is gonna have to be a little more then a standard servo . one of the boxes is just the body so exspect a large box to arrive lol plus one other wich containes the remainder .cheers paul

ok one thing i forgot to ask . what channel does aibrake go into? i have a futabe ff7 computer transmitter so will i have to use mixing on it?

Wonder how much their going to charge me for p&p lol.
Might not use the air break on mine. prob mix in flaperon. Should slow her down and add a little extra lift too.

not sure on the postage m8 , where you gettingit from?

Either Inwood or Sussex model centre. Have to wait till monday now though.

SUSSEX MODEL CENTER SOLD THERE LAST ONE TO ME TODAY . BUT KNOW INWOOD HAVE THEM AS I SPOKE TO THE CHAP LAST WEEK PLUS TEN QUID CHEAPER THERE M8

Looks like its going to be Inwood then mate. Their definately closed sunday coz i gave them a ring and got the answer message today.
Will post pics of all the components once it arrives.

The air brake was a pain in the rear,,, there should be a servo mounting plate in your hardware bag,,,,, there was no instructions in mine ether,, i just played around and made it work,, im sure its not right but it works,, i had to add some extra hard wood to the mount to get it to mount to the inside of the fuse. The air brake doe's look cool but then again,, up close it is kind of cheesy, i think it should of been deleted on the production models,, or made better,,, i had bad weather again today, rain, and wind,,, i am starting to get sick of this crap,,,,, it is ether raining or it is to windy,,, i want to take the SU27 back up and really ring her out, and get some video,,, maybe Monday,.

Make sure you get the take off and landing to JS615. People always leave that bit out for some reason.

thanks for info js615. does the air brake acctually work within reason ? or does she glide in without mate.? can you if possibe put a pic on here of how you put airbrake in please? thanks paul ?also howfar does your airbrake rise m8

Was final weight of the plane menthioned , if so I aplogize just wondering .
Also can retracts be installed ?
