    Hangar 9 3.1M Sukhoi

    How about balance??? I'm about to install a motor into my Sukhoi and I would like to know what all you guys are coming up with on a balance point. Do I use the recommended CG as stated in the manual? Or do you guys have a better and more accurate balance point. For me, I like just a "smidgen"...

    Hangar 9 3.1M Sukhoi

    I also like the black. When I talked to Chad at TDRC, he told me all the straight aluminum louvers were out of stock and all he had in that size were the black ones.... I figured, Ah what the heck, it might offset the fuse. Really glad I got them. Thanks by the way for the comment. I do have a...

    Oh my....looks like in number four and number five, that bad boy is getting all primed for some 3D action. You best grab hold of them sticks. Seriously though....great pics. Keep 'em comin'....

    Geometry and Elevator throw error

    Ah yeah.... I see the difference. What is weird though is that if the geometry is off just enough through the initial travel to cause one elevator to be slightly higher at first, but final throw is the same as the other. Curious of what it is going to be like in some maneuvers. I really don't...

    Show us your bad ass plane!

    Holy crap Snappy..... Until I seen this in this perspective, I had no idea how massive that thing is. WOW....  Still got it, I hope to bring to the Joe Nall and if I do it will be torque rolling over the pond with smoke. Still got it? The 260 or the son?? LOL...J/K. I would really like to...

    Hangar 9 3.1M Sukhoi

        Thanks guys.... A little less grime on the tail gear will be nice for sure. Was seriously going after the "look". Now since I have extra sheets of the plastic and more on order...which by the way is the same stuff I used to baffle the 3dub in my 260, I will be using the same stuff to...

    Tail Wheel Steering, Springs vs Fuel Tubing or other setups

    Stopped by a tackle shop today. They really didn't have anything like Pistolera has. They did however have some "Trolling Snubbers". They even had them in Orange to match the covering on the Sukhoi. I thought, "Hmm...that would look kinda cool". But then realized, they look too much like colored...

    Geometry and Elevator throw error

    You're welcome. I like to do process of elimination. So you've swapped the servos and the condition still exists. Rule out the servo. That leaves the programming in the radio or the actual geometry itself. Oh, are you running separate channels for each elevator servo? Or ("Y'd") into one...

    Show off Warbird photos...you know you have one!

    Wow..."ALL" these warbirds you guys have are "GREAT"! I kind of miss all mine. But they were all of the "GLOW" (shudder) persuasion. Sold them all to start working towards gas warbirds. Tom, would you mind cluing me in on how you posted your pictures large format? They look awesome!!

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    I've definitely decided on the 170. There are just too many guys using them that are very pleased with no bad history, that I am aware of to not go that route. (maybe I just can't find bad reports)  Getting really excited to have it done.

    Tail Wheel Steering, Springs vs Fuel Tubing or other setups

    Thank you IMAC FANATIC... I agree with the fuel tubing. I think I have nice little chain...May give that a shot. If you get time, the pics would be great. Don't put yourself out though...Thanks again.

    Tail Wheel Steering, Springs vs Fuel Tubing or other setups

    So guys, I have a real nemesis that annoys the crap outta me, so I am looking for input. Here's the deal. On all my more recent gassers, I've been setting the tail wheel steering up with the springs that are usually supplied with the kit/arf. Some work...uh...ok I suppose. Others work like...

    Geometry and Elevator throw error

    Hey Jerry.... I've seen this before. Not from just a Hitec, but others as well. I am curious if that 1/32" of an inch difference, (although not much) may be causing the "throw" to change exponentially as travel of the elevator is increased, yet coming to full deflection as with the other. I...
