Stuart Mackay Models?
Any comments good or bad? They look awesome, all fiberglass with Carbon Fiber and a low price. The weight on their Sukhoi is like 30 pounds at a 104" wingspan. I never hear anyone talk about them so I was curious if they suck or not... -Steve

I said the plane was awesome not the weight. Besides that is not bad for a fiberglass plane calculated with a 9 pound engine. The Aeroworks Sukhoi is like a foot shorter and a few inches less on wingspan than the SM Sukhoi and it weights like 25 pounds with a small engine. So for 3-5 more pounds you get a highly detailed plane that is exact scale with panel lines, rivets and Carbon gear that is all one piece moulded together with the wheel pants like the real one.

What are you talking about? Those pictures you posted are SU-26's not the SU-31... The 26 does not have wheel pants but the SU-31 does. The Stuart Mackay Models Sukhoi is the 31 variant. Oh yeah and the SMM SU-31 has wheel pants which can be converted to spatlets like below... ON THE SU-31 VERSION

I have been working with Stuart on one of the Sukhoi kits for the RCS 215 engine. They have been very helpful, the only real issue is the cost of importing a single kit. If someone was interested in a group purchase contact me. Chris [email protected]

Have you ever see a Kyosho Sukhoi? Just look at those pictures, because that is the same scheme. Just realize that the full scale has a darker red than it looks like on the Kyosho plane. If I am to ever get the SMM Sukhoi I would do it in that yellow and red scheme. -Steve

Hi Guys here is a pic to show that we just dont sell em, but also fly em too!!
SU31 owner/builder Dick Hales on right and me on the left, engine running and about to make the first flight. Pic was taken today at Ellough Airfield, near Beccles, Suffolk, England, a wartime 8th AF base, and now used for private aviation.
Dick has used the Mackay 215 radial and this spins a Menz 32/18 at 4300 rpm and has unlimited vertical performance. Most flying was flown at 1/4-1/3 throttle and there was no trim changes required
Aircraft will have decals applied once test flying has been completed.
