Tucson Shootout 40% Sukhoi SU26 build thread

Aerotech · 07-10-2006, 08:20 AM

Hello,

I wanted to share the new 40% Sukhoi SU26 were building for the Tucson Shootout 2006 raffle plane. We will update this page every few days to show the progress. The Sukhoi will be a new addition to our family. The plane will be ready to fly after the winner is announced at the event. In addition to our efforts, I would like to thank the following companys/people for helping again to make this type of donation possible.

Hello,

We are excited as well. We have many customers leaving deposits on kits. We have about 20 deposits on them already.

John I can't wait to see this airplane you always seem to pull something out of your hat at the right time. This will be an awesome machine.

Hello,

The 35% Su26mx are on the boards for Jan 2007. We will be taking pre-orders in November.

Thanks

John

How much will the kit be? Can you list span, area etc??
I love Sukhoi 26's!!!

Please lower the stab on the fuselage!!! (As compared to the "SCALE" position)
And make the top of the wing flat (RCH of dihedral)

Lessons I discovered 10 years ago with a molded 35% I made

Hello,

The Kit will be $649.99 plus shipping. I try to keep the pricing reasonable. Unless our cost on materials has a sizable increase then the price will stay. The stab already has been lowered. We learned many lessons testing the Yak 54 and the proper items will be in place to make it fly very nice.

Thanks

John, will you ever arf it?

Aerotech · 07-10-2006, 05:15 PM

Hello,

As of now no. Our manufacturer can do it as others have, but we are sticking with the smaller ARF's for now 50-60cc. We can build them inhouse to your scheme if you like.

Thanks

John
