That is all I wanted to hear.

I reposted some of the important info over on RCU as an Aerotech thread popped up there asking questions about the new owners and since they are having fun at Nall I thought I'd help out.


Now lets talk about the "changes" to the 40% Su-26. Rob can you shed light on them?

[WrongWayRC]

Man, that is one sweet flying plane...

Big congrats guys.

i would like to thank everyone that came up and shook our hands at the nall. we truly enjoy meeting everyone and getting to know what it is that our customer base would like to see. we are always open to ideas and were thrilled with all of the info collected at triple tree!

our website will be changed tomorrow sometime to just say..."Coming Soon..." we will have our ph#'s and emails up so any of you with q's or comments can get ahold of us!!!!

see y'all at a field near you!

Matt, it was good seeing you again and meeting your partners at the Nall, guys you cannot go wrong with Matt, whatever he is promising will be delivered and with Rob on his side he has nothing but success ahead of him.

[smokin]

hey thanks snap!

we aren't promising to be "perfect"... but we are striving to be closer to that mark each day. as i have said in past posts, we hope to be judged on a going forward basis and because of this, we are not entering the market with our products until we are absolutely ready to do so. we don't want to serve one customer until we are capable of serving all of them!!!!

it won't be long folks. we'll have our doors open by early summer and we'll have your building tables full in no time!

snap, you were also right on the button about Mr Robert Joyner. our reason for selecting rob as our tech support guru was several fold.
1-integrity and honesty are rob's best qualities
2-he has a building knowledge that rivals all out there
3-he has a close bond with these aerotech airframes and no one in recent times have built more than he has
4-he has the desire to be the best and to help our company get there as well!

we will be utilizing rob as much as possible without burning him out. he has a hard time saying "no"!

Congrats! The new Aerotech guys are awesome. They are willing to help anyone out at anytime. Good Luck with the company and I wish you guys the best of luck. Matt and the guys really helped me out this past week at the Nall with a small engine problem I had.

Thanks!!!

Sorry it took so long to respond here guys, I've been a little under the weather since I left the Nall. Thank God for Nyquil. I've been popping them like candy. Anyway to answer the first question, the Sukhoi-26 will be going through some new mods. You need to understand that your taking a plane with a 126" wing span and shedding 3 or 4 pounds off. So you have to be careful what you do. First of all the wings are huge and thick so coring will be in full effect. Also the older models where covered in 3/32 on the wings. Now they're 1/16 so that will shed weight all by itself. I plan on coring as much of the tail as possible. If I can get this plane down to 40 lbs even, ready to fly, then I'll be happy. I'll keep everyone up dated when I start. A build thread on this plane will be posted. If you have more question's just ask.

[MikeC3D]

Thanks Matt, but I'm patient and I can imagine you all are running around like chickens with your heads cut off, so I'll wait and pounce when the opportunity arises...

I know EXACTLY what you mean, my yak is 129", and we got it down to 36lbs RTF, and now I know what things need to be different to make it even better. Good luck, I'm sure it will kick ass.

[smokin]
