Default Re: Aerotech R/C Models is BACK!

we will have a full stable of airframes very soon!!! never fear! we are starting our stock runs of the 123" edge, 123" extra 300 Midwing and the 106" edge and extra 300 midwing.

close behind will be the 126" suk26 and yak 54.... and the 100cc versions of the same.

the velox's, chipmunk, slicks, yak 55sp's, and brand new extra 330sc will be soon to come as well.

we have a HUGE undertaking here that most folks wouldn't be able to comprehend and instead of waiting for each kit to be ready for sale, we are starting with some and getting to others. each one of these is getting a motorbox overhaul, going from laser to CNC, getting new standard carbon fiber items, and several other improvements... it takes time.... i wish it didn't... but it does.

thanks again DOC! you have been a saint!

if you guys wouldn't mind....

everyone that posted pics of your Aerotech planes, send them in email form to Doc and he'll be able to make them thumbnail and full size pics on the site. it is very difficult to enlarge JPEG files and have them as doc would put it... not look like "bigfoot in the mist!" we really want to give you guys some press and fill our customer photo page up with your beauties!!!

doc@whiteknuckleairlines.com

thanks for your support and effort gentleman!

MORE TO COME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yes sir! we have done some lightening and some changing of the motor box, but that is the 26 that will be out soon! it is BIG! 126" and we should be able to get this beast down right around 40lbs! a 150 would work just fine and a 170 would be AWESOME!

Your killing me! I have a 150 but no room for another 40%. I think I'm gonna sell the 150 to afford the 35% version of the Su-26 and retire the Edge.

That's Jack Keiser's Sukhoi-26. He lives in New Mexico and yes that's his full scale 26 that he competes with also. John and I built that plane and it has a ZDZ 210 in the nose with large greves pipes. A 150 will pull it around fine but to have more fun you need the 170 in the nose. I have a 26 kit in my possession and I plan on getting it down to at least 40lbs or less. You've seen my builds, I can get it lite.

I wouldn't do a 40% size Su-26 with less than a 157CS in it just for the extra "fun" factor of having the extra power. And I know you are a building machine and will be subscribed to the Su-26 build if you do one on here!

Now that is cool....Im sure with careful planning, you can get it under 40lbs no problem. Reason I think so is because of what Bob and I did to my 40% SD models yak, it came out at 36lbs RTF with a DA170...You can do it.

That little bit of extra HP from the 210 really helps in the summer around here though. And yes both planes are as impressive as they look in the photo.

Jack says it pulls like no ones business. There's alot of altitude where you guys are. That was the reason for the big motor.
