Yellow Aircraft ARF's
[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I have the Sukhoi with a TT 36. I only have a couple flights on it. The Arf is great looking and came in at 4.9lbs. Their is a couple miner problems with the manual, 1. landing gear measurment in-correct and a couple things out of order that you will notice when you read the manual.

Yellow Aircraft ARF's
I've seen their Cap of that size, and it looked great, except for the instructions. From what I've read, that seems to be the only weak point. The wheel pants weren't painted, and they were ABS, but the cowling and the rest of the covering job easily made up for that. Plus, you wouldn't want wheelpants on something that small unless you flew from concrete.

Yellow Aircraft ARF's
I have a Yellow Aircraft CAP 232 30-size, and I will surely buy another airplane or two from
Yellow Aircraft.
They have great quality in their ARF's, The only problem I have with the CAP is that the
wheel pants were not painted, however they are reaaly togh pants and will last a long time.
The kit was very well engineered, I put a Magnum .62 four stroke on mine which is a little
over powered but has incredible vertical and is a easy to fly, just watch out on takeoff using right
rudder is mandatory to keep it straight on the runway. The airplane is a great flying plane, very
responsive and floats in without any bad habits on landings.

Yellow Aircraft ARF's are a little more expensive than the competition but you get what you pay for! I have the 30 size Extra 300 with a Magnum 52 four stroke for power. Quality was very good, Monokote covering was wrinkle free and the parts fit was excellent. My only complaints were with the wheel pants which don't match the covering material and the manual which had an error in wing mounting dimensions. Flight performance is good and landing manners are very docile (no tendency to tip stall), excellent for someone wanting to transition to a low wing aerobatic type aircraft. More advanced flyers mignt find this plane a little on the tame side due to a fair amount of dihedral and a semi-symetrical wing.
