Just got off Graphtech's site and did not see the Sukhoi listed there. Maybe I'll call them Monday.

YakPilot: How are yours holding up?

Only three flights so far but they are doing great. It's hard to make a bad landing with this plane though It is a real floater!
Try this link. They are back ordered at this time.http://www.graphtechrcshop.com/produ...4&categoryId=6

rob i am a newbeee , had a left , right , up down ,bounce landing, will the gear take that, thanks frank

[yakpilot]

Well Frank, that's a hard question to answer. No gear is bullet-proof of course and I think that aluminum gear is more forgiving of bouncey or side loaded landings. Having said that I have seen the graphtec gear on my 35% TOC yak take a fair amount of abuse without a problem.
I guess that's a long winded way of saying I don't know.

[frank99]

mine is in the back ground the pilot is david bradford our top gun pilot thanks frank

thanks went to the web site and b/o of course , need some more bling bling,going to put one in the shopping box , did you order the off the shelf or beef it up , site said they make changes if needed thanks frank

[yakpilot]

I just got their standard version. Nice to know they beef up if needed. These do have a nice amount of flex though. When landing and taxiing they behave very much like the stock aluminum ones.

First flight of the year with the Sukhoi in the books.

Frank, I would recommend staying with the aluminum gear as it is more forgiving than the carbon gear---the aluminum gear will absorb the bo-bo's where the carbon gear just passes the bo-bo's on into the fuse. I got some IMAC practice in today with my H9 Suk.

dusted mine off the other day for a few flights and nailed the first landing, second one it was crabing a little well maybe 45 degree to run way . Then i had to use my brain and thumbs, had a panic attack and seemed like the plane was headed to my nose,. Then left , right, up and down and bounce a little hard, should have went around. Sherman saw a pilot crack one on a good landing, this gear might not be good for me but does it every look GOOD! Oh a float comment, the pics were nice,you are having to much fun save some for NALL thanks to all frank
