RE: Sukhoi SU-26 MX build

Thanks - would've liked to use it, too bad the rest of the ABS cowl is garbage. Same with the belly pan - by the time you cut the stock bellypan to fit, it bends so easily it doesn't even seem...

RE: Sukhoi SU-26 MX build

I only cut out the five large slots near the rear of the bellypan and a hole for my muffler pipes and haven't had any overheating so far.. I think they call for more holes on the bottom of the cowl...

RE: Sukhoi SU-26 MX build

RE: Sukhoi SU-26 MX build

I use the metal wing mount screws - they have come out on the way to the field from vibration in the car (screws were only halfway in) but during flight they have been tight. McMaster-Carr...

RE: Sukhoi SU-26 MX build

RE: Sukhoi SU-26 MX build
