35% preference- Jtec 330 mid wing, WH Sukhoi, or AW 260

I know, I just meant consider the Panzi...

Actually the rudder and elevators are the same size on all of our 35% they just have different sized counterbalances. I guarantee you will never have a problem with our flying surfaces being effective enough.

Honestly I think the panzl may 3D a little bit better because of the flat sided fuselage. The 40% presents better like every 40% compared to a 35% would. We are actually going to put another panzl together for this season.

FYI the first 2:10 of that video is the Wild Hare 121" Extra, then the Sukhoi is on there for 4 minutes.

Man, power DOES NOT look like an issue on that Sukhoi! What engine is in there and what's the AUW??? I still like your Extra better, though

Power was a brand new (maybe a gallon) BME 115 on stock mufflers, PT 28x10. I am not 100% sure, but think the sukhoi is around 26lbs or so. That motor is a hoss, love mine.

It's a BME-115. My first SU-26 plane weighed 26 lbs. 14 oz. with a DA-100 and canisters. I calculate that the BME with stock mufflers should/could be under 25 lbs.

It has a PT 28x10, pulls the snot out of it.

I've been flying a Staudacher for several years now and can say it will do pattern and 3D very well. Its realy one of the better planes for both.

[Tired Old Man]

Get either of the other two. Once you see the Sukhoi fly you'll be wishin' real hard that you had it instead of any others.

[flatfuse]

Silversurfer, I settled on the Sukhoi and ordered it few weeks ago. It should be here next week. I really wanted the j-tech 330, but it wasn't available anytime soon and I had no interest in the panzel.
Sooo... I hope you're right and it will fly as well as the others.

Wildhare did you baffle the 115? if so can you provide some pics?
Thanks

[wildhare]

I never used the BME, my DA-100 never had any baffling nor any problems.
