ROPE

I was there when Andy test flew the Sukhoi. It is a very impressive plane. Although, with all his scratching and re-adjusting going on prior to take-off I didn't know if he was just that nervous or signaling someone to steal home!

Just as well Andys got a sense of humour

Thanks Lee! Those guy's don't don't give a guy a break!

Axxis,
It's good to see a thread contributer post video of a plane we have seen progress through its build. I hope to also post video soon but with our late summer and family commitments I haven't had the opportunity. congratulations.

Obee

Alright, I'll bite, what does ROFLMAO mean? If you can't write it out here, PM me.

Rolling On the Floor Laughing My A$% OFF !!! Love the vid Axxis

Axiss, neat flying mate , good on ya[8D]. Put the bloody spats on mate. I put mine on right from the start using the thread back further on how to, and they have stayed put ever since. And if you see how I land my plane thats very solid, Have to vote your colour scheme the most original??
Lee

Lee...

I cant put the spats on, for me to work on the plane I have to tip it up on the nose and gear and with the spats on I cant tip it up or they will get crunched. Besides the original 26's had none.

aaxiss Sorry forgot mate?????

hey guys I fly today my Sukhoi and when I was ready to land we notice the aluminum bar that hold the landing gear was broke I manage to land safe but I need to replace tha piece of aluminum is any way I can get tha piece o anybody knows another solution


Thanks

Call me for the part.

Hi yeah I think they all break, I drilled out my holes and fitted a piece of 4-40 rod with some nyloc nuts and its stayed there for about 70 flights so far???????
Lee

Forgot to add that I put a pice of silicone fuel tubing over it to rest against the muffler.
Lee

Mine broke too after about 5 flights, each with a very gentle landing on grass. Rather than looking for an alternative to make a new one, I bent the broken end, drilled a new hole, and re-installed it. It forces the LG a bit more together so the stance is a bit taller, but it is still holding as I am near 30 flights so far.

I put 2 eyebolts and threaded kevlar thread between the two four wraps or so and twist it has held so far well I have bent one eye bolt and pulled the thread out but has worked great so far !!

Maiden mine this past weekend had a little trouble with the engine needed to rotate the carb and problem fixed great flyer cant wait to get more time on it. 3MM 53 with the stock muffler hitec 5645s on everything but the rudder hitec 5955 plane feels great good job tom and thanks to everyone for this tread..

Hi,

We have a new member at a club with a digital SLR camera and a very good zoom lens that took some photos of my plane last weekend and put them on his website. Here is a link to his website if you want to see them, [link=http://www.aussietimmeh.com/gallery/rc/20jul08/]www.aussietimmeh.com[/link]

Those are very good pics nice Bird Oh and the camera takes good pics too LOL

I've just bought a 50cc Sukhoi from Probuild (UK). Gorgeous plane! Bought another 3w 56i B2 twin for this one, and can't wait to get it done. That said, I have a few planes now that I have to build

Does anyone know if Graphtec are doing a CF landing gear for these yet?
