Looks very nice. A couple of questions, how heavy is it and is the undercarriage operating reliably? My JL Mig 29 has a complex shuttle valve operated undercarriage that is not operating reliably 100% of the time.

any chance you can post some interior install pix? the engine compartment looks fantastic!!!

how much fuel do you think it carries and I'm interested in your impression of the landing gear and doors also.

nice flight but next time go loooooooooooooooooooooooower!!!! LOL

congrats

Mariosff

I will try!! Total fuel is 3600ml and landing gear and doors look and work great!
Great engines by the way

yeahbaby

My Feedback: (21)

LOL

those engines looks perfectly sized for the install, how did you like the performance? where did was most of the flight conducted? 1/2 2/3 full throttle?? etc etc

any room for additional fuel 3600ml = 121.7304oz that's roughly 60oz per engine. a little light IMO

glad to hear the landing gear and doors worked great. that's the heartbeat of an airplane, I hope they can withstand regular pounding.

very nice

Mariosff

U r right. The engines r perfect for this airplane and i was flying with 1/2 throttle so its also quite economical on fuel! There is room for some extra tanks but u have 6-7minutes endurance on stantard tanks. Engine performance was perfect and i think u can use full power only on takeoff and verticals!

Hello, Mariosff,

i've just finished the su27 JL with 2 merlin 90, can you confirm me the factory CG is correct , ( 195mm) .

Thanks you

Eric .

Mariosff

Hi Eric. The factory CG is fine for the first flight but a bit nose heavy for my taste so  i moved it back slightly until i found my sweet spot. Its a very stable jet.You will love it

thunderbolt90

Hi Mario,

thanks for your answer .

Ok for the CG, do you now how many mm you are back the CG ? and for the landing gear are you any problem, mine work great for the moment !!
And for the tailerons, how many mm did you used for the pitch and the tailerons ?

Thanks

I see you video and it's super !

Eric

Mariosff

I am not sure how many mm but i removed 200gr from the nose.As far as the landing gear it still works fine after around 60 flights.For roll control i combined 20mm of flaperons with 20mm of tailerons and 55mm for pitch control measured at the trailing edge
