 |  My wing snapping wall aftermath. . .
H9 Sukoi w/ a DA100. . . 1/3rd throttle and inverted I go for a wall and the port side wing explodes into confetti. Almost nutted a knife edge landing, but I blew it right at the end. Here's the carnage. . .    |

H9 makes a Sukhoi designed for a 100? Been there myself but was lucky enough to land with minimal damage.

No......H9 makes a 33% SU-31 that alot of folks put the 100's in.

wasn't there a time that this model was being packaged with a zenoah gt-80 twin by horizon? i would think a gt-80 would be much heavier than a da100 in terms of weight.

 Why dont they give planes serial numbers like DA's engines. That would be cool.

Sorry to hear about the plane. I know this is off topic, but I am planning a trip out your way in the summer for the Rally. Several of us are going that fly R/C. Are there any local clubs that are friendly to visitors that week? |
