They say those planes come out heavy. What are you looking to spend on a plane I might be able to help you out. Send me a pm with a email to contact you if you are intrested.What are you looking for in a plane, is the sukhoi the only style you are looking for if not what other types of planes are you looking for.

"They" are most likely right... I saw the 50CC version do a maiden flight today. The owner said it came out at 20lbs!!

Well I ordered one the other day...I'll post pics as soon as I get it. It's scheduled to arrive Fri. This will be my first 100cc plane so it may take awhile to get going. My setup will hopefully be the following...

DL-100cc
Futaba 7C 2.4 FASST
Fromeco A123's
Smart-Fly P/E EQ10 w/ pin and flag failsafe switch
Tower Hobbies TS-170 digitals all around
Tower TS-115 digital on throttle
TME smoke pump
Swap aluminum wing tube for carbon fiber
Maybe swap landing gear to carbon also

Should be a fun build once I get everything...

Yeah it actually came in a day early. One big azz box...LOL. Still waiting to do a build thread though as I have to get an engine, servos, receiver, etc. Looks fairly decent but right off the bat I'll have to change a few things I don't like. I'll most likely add more hinge points and change some of the hardware. I don't have an accurate scale but I believe the fuse weighs in at close to 6 lbs about 2.5 lbs for each wing half a pound for the aluminum tubes and that's all I could weigh but to weigh them I had to get on digital bathroom scale holding the parts and then subtracty weight because they were all too light to register by themselves. So take all those weights with a grain of salt.

Talking Re: Nitro Planes Sukhoi-SU26 100cc...

These are right after it was delivered on Thursday...I was in a rush to get to work so I didn't unpack it and get any more. I'll try to do that in a few days after I get a few days off...


One big box...




Made by the Fly-Model factory...



Not to fond of the packing but nothing was damaged that I could tell...the big box at the end houses the cowl and wheel pants that are wrapped in foam and the small skinny box in the foreground houses the hardware package, linkages, and landing gear. The fuse intersects both boxes and is somewhat suspended by both and spans almost the entire length of the main box. It is wrapped in plastic and a cardboard divider protects it and holds the wings and tail feathers that you see when first opening the box. The canopy is also located along side it. Mostly everything is taped down to keep from shifting in transit...



Instruction manual is only 11-12 pages and thirty steps with pics...has a lot of symbols on each step for what to do or what type of glue to use etc...a legend for the symbols is included in the front of the manual...
