Wohoooo... 'bout darn time!!!! Can't Wait!!!

Sounds good silversurfer, I always tried to get it exact and thought that if they were'nt I would need to lengthen the rudder horn.

pant, pant, pant

Remember to set up your travels on the rudder servo to obtain close to the maximum for the best resolution when you are making up your cable installation.

I usally start out with 125% on my 9C, fly and see whats the maximum I'll need on all surfaces and then back off on my throws mechanically for maximum torque. Then I will up those endpoints for best resolution, this works out great with fast servos because I am losing some speed with higher endpoint settings. Some models never really need that high 50-60 degrees of elevator throw to get them to perform really good extreme 3D. I even had friends models I setup that would perform perfectly flat spins, true vertical elevators and zero elevation walls while only running 42 degrees of throw.

So should I go with the 3" or 4" rudder horn? All that's left is the throttle and rudder cable and horns.

3 inch will be just fine.

Silver..........I wasn't going to say anything but you said "3 inch will be just fine".............................lol........lol.. .....lol

Perhaps I'm missing something here. I believe we were referring to rudder horns. In this case bigger is not better and how it's used takes precidence over length. I'll reiterate, the 3" rudder servo horn works just fine. If you feel the need to strut, then go with the 4.

I went with the 3" horns on both the servo and rudder, got more then enough throw!!

Silver I always go to the last post and look at it first. I guess it just tickled my funny bone a little.
I will also agree that 3" is enough.
I think this lack of sleep is killing me.

Hey Tom, Inquiring minds want to know...... Have you shipped any yet??? come on, out with it....

They are here, will ship a few today.

I got my tracking number! Please mr. UPS dont squish my new airplane!

mstroh3961 - I agree with you on that. I hope that the United Plane Smashers can bring my new bird home safe and sound.
I am really looking forward to running the 3MM.

Y'all are making me jealous....I'm watching my e-mail for my United Plane Smasher tracking number....kind of like being a kid again and dreaming of Dec 25th

A couple of things I noticed after inspecting mine. Wow what a beautiful airplane! Seems to be very well put together and the double boxing helps prevent damage from UPS. The outside boxes had minor dings and tears, but the inside was very good indeed. All hardware present and accounted for. Engine looks very nice. One difference in mine and the pictures of others I have seen is the cowl mounting. There are no hooks or slots on the cowl or firewall. The covering is a very nice job. I really like the scheme on the plane. Not real sure on the cowl though. One side looks real good and the other not so good. The bad side is at the point where the red, white, and black join. Part of it looks like the paint ran and another part of it looks like a bad seam in the glass. The ring around the pipe fitting is also busted.

Over all I am very pleased with the plane and hardware. I can not wait to get started in earnest on this Sukhoi. It is honestly bigger than what I thought it would be. I think it will look great in the air. The only think I can think of that I still need to complete the plane is another fromeco regulator.

On the hardware package side of things, didn't I read in Silversurfers post on the first page that it came with a 24oz tank? Mine is only a 20oz tank. No biggie, if I need a bigger tank I can get one.

Tom, about the cowl, will the busted ring on the bottom present any problems if I am not using a pipe set up?

Thanks for putting out such a nice looking plane and complete package. This is my first WH, but it won't be my last.

The fuel tank at 20 oz is still overkill. A 16 OZ tank would be plenty for a 50CC's

Take that loop on the bottom out completely. It should not have been there.

It will interfere with installing the cowl when the engine is on, so it has to go.

I was wondering about that. It's possible to get the cowling on and off with it there, just need to find the right angle, then it just slips on.

we ordered two SU-26 special kits last week, they are on the way. Ben and I are going to have a blast flying those in formation. We will post videos of it on our web site www.montrealflight.com

I have a Honda civic 2006, do you think its going to fit in it ?


Big thanks to the guys that make this forum works!

I want to thank Tom and his wife for takeing care of me when I went to there home and purchaced a SU-26 85 incher from there. I was in town on military business. good people. Thanks again Tom. Marc

Man there are alot of GI's on this thread. My old office on the left..

Any guesses?

Look very closely on the left, which block is it?

On the right, which model is it?


goose.



Oh well back to task. How does red suky fly with respect to mixing and coupling? How about huckin?

F22

F-22 is on the right, in fact it is now the F-22A.
