5645s are plenty strong. A more accurate alternative is the 985, a coreless non-digital we are now carrying for $63.

Please ...send flight report...inquiring minds!! :D

RE: 50cc Sukhette Build Thread, now in progress!!
 

I should be able to get out to fly my new Sukhoi/3MM 53cc in the morning. I'll follow up with a report.

RE: 50cc Sukhette Build Thread, now in progress!!
 

Super - hope you have fun (trying not to sound envious...and failing!! :) ) Looking forward to reading your first impressions; I am especially interested in hearing about the low speed handling :eek:

I know I'm biased and cannot be trusted, but I just assembled my second one of these and I have to agree with marzo91, this is the easiest plane to put together that I have done in a long time. Everything fits together, nothing requires modification, it's just really a pleasure to work with.

I already know how it flies, but now I'm experimenting with the TOC-53. I have canister headers coming from several sources, if they work out this will just increase the utility of this engine.

Tom I may have to do a drive by and steal that sucker form you.........like I could sneak down your street in my little truck!:D


Come on next container I'm getting restless!

RE: 50cc Sukhette Build Thread, now in progress!!
 

I cant wait to hear more on a canister setup for the 53cc 3mm engine!!!!!

If your 28% birds just had the pocket hinges, I would not be able to resist buying a couple more from ya hehehehe....As if I dont have 3 flying at the moment hehehehehe.

RE: 50cc Sukhette Build Thread, now in progress!!
 

At least your truck blends in...

RE: 50cc Sukhette Build Thread, now in progress!!
 

Me too!

RE: 50cc Sukhette Build Thread, now in progress!!
 

Tom Cool truck! whats the intended use? Make a cool limo for DA HOOD!:D

RE: 50cc Sukhette Build Thread, now in progress!!
 

It's what everyone gets into when I'm flying :)

Nice! Thats one tough truck.....stay safe in that thing!

RE: 50cc Sukhette Build Thread, now in progress!!
 

Thanks - not currently deployed; could use one for the Northern VA commute some days though.

RE: 50cc Sukhette Build Thread, now in progress!!
 

You guys get all the bennies. We got no windows. Stay safe buddy.

Found an interesting picture of a SU instrument panel... www.propagteam.cz/katalog_stavebnice_en.asp

Nice! Photo looks big enough to reproduce and laminate for use.:D:D:D:D Now I need to do a sticker to replicate the door window.

RE: 50cc Sukhette Build Thread, now in progress!!
 

Well, I flew the Sukhoi this morning. It's sooo nice. I didn't find any bad habits. The engine started easily and ran great. I'll give the full flight report soon. You'll all be very happy....

RE: 50cc Sukhette Build Thread, now in progress!!
 

and a couple more....

RE: 50cc Sukhette Build Thread, now in progress!!
 

Tom Riddle,

So you're an EOD guy. Wow! I get to see those trucks used all the time and that upper boom and fork works out pretty well for you folks. You be careful. Anyone doing that kind of work eventually gets deployed if you haven't already. One thing, your unit can almost make the turn around at Tom's place but Mstrohs doesen't have a chance;)

RE: 50cc Sukhette Build Thread, now in progress!!
 

WOW looks great I'm impressed with how clean the decals work.

RE: 50cc Sukhette Build Thread, now in progress!!
 

Pat,

Please excuse me...I didn't mean to be misleading - I'm just a lowly electron chaser (Army Computer Network Defense stuff).

However when its my turn to go back to the sandpit, I'm taking one of those fer sure!:D

Besides, no EOD guys would want to be within 1000 feet of me given the way my thumbs have been working lately!

marzo91,

AWESOME!!! (Color me envious!)

[Is the container here yet?]

RE: 50cc Sukhette Build Thread, now in progress!!
 

O contrare monfrair.......I back down the side street across from Tom's to turn around and face back to the highway! and park on the big grass shoulder.:D Hope to do it again soon!

RE: 50cc Sukhette Build Thread, now in progress!!
 

When you do, please pick up a Sukhoi for me too.:)

RE: 50cc Sukhette Build Thread, now in progress!!
 

no problem, just leave your CC info with Tom......Be happy to deliver it to you some time........:D

RE: 50cc Sukhette Build Thread, now in progress!!
 

Tom, I bet you hate selling toys to impatient people like me!!! hahaha Instead of "are we there yet?" its "are they here yet are they here yet???"
