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. . .

Re: My wing snapping wall aftermath. . .
H9 makes a Sukhoi designed for a 100? Been there myself but was lucky enough to land with minimal damage.

Re: My wing snapping wall aftermath. . .
No......H9 makes a 33% SU-31 that alot of folks put the 100's in.

Isn't this plane known for wing failures?

Re: My wing snapping wall aftermath. . .
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.

Re: My wing snapping wall aftermath. . .
 Why dont they give planes serial numbers like DA's engines. That would be cool.

Re: My wing snapping wall aftermath. . .
Sorry to hear about your plane nes. The color scheme looked cool too. What did you use for covering?

Re: My wing snapping wall aftermath. . .
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? |
