Okay, the Vector Flight Sukhoi, 60" wing is definately a winner. I have been flying this exact plane with an OS .91 and it goes straight up. My empty weight is 7lb. 14oz's. Balance is where the plans call for. I modified my gear with some cable bracing and added a third screw to mount it. Also I added 2 washers under the trailing edge of the gear where it mounts to move the wheels forward abit which improves ground handling.

You will love this kit! Impressive when it arrives and goes together quickly if you want, I take my time and always modify an ARF whereever I see the need. This kit requires very little.

I recommend this Sukhoi and personally I look forward to ordering another one of their kits. Great value for money spent. Feel free to e-mail me for further info. ([email protected]).

Been flying from the mid 70's and have built many kits and ARF's.

Is the sukhoi a two piece wing? is that a 91 2stroke you are running?

Two piece wing that joins very easily with two spars for added strength. You don't have to worry about this wing, it's VERY strong.

The engine is an OS .91 2 cycle turning a 14X8. This is almost an unlimited vertical aircraft. You will love it.

Any questions, e-mail me direct to; ([email protected])

Yeah I know the planes well friends have the older style extras. The belly pan looks lame, did you glue your to your wing and just make it removable when you take the wing off?
