anyone built and flown the blue 68" cermark sukhoi arf? itlooks awesome.

Cermarks customer service is legendary...or lack of.
They make some good products but do not stand behind them.
Just a heads up.

They end up heavy for their size and are VERY snappy. Also require power.

apparently the sukhoi they are selling now is a improved version of an older one. do those traits also apply to this new one ,silver?" thanks

There is a guy at the field that flies one of these almost every weekend. He flew it with a Zenoah G23 until last weekend. It did not have very good performance with that engine, but it did fly. Last weekend the airplane had a FPE 2.4 in it and what a difference! It flew with authority, had good verticle--it had much more "presence" in the air.

No thaving flown it myself, I can only say that it seems to fly good. It seems to land at a reasonable speed too. The only thing I have noticed is that the landing gears seems to spread out over time.

My response was in relation to the older version. I would go with Bruiser's post for a little more current info.

Keep your eye out, RCU is doing a revierw on the plane!

I am building one now. I would rate it overall better fit and finish then the Egg shell super fragile AEROWORKS Edge 540 I had before! I built a Cermark Extra about 10 years ago... It was a steaming pile buffalo dung!!! I will keep you posted on the flight performance!!

check here for your answer!!
