    Hangar 9 3.1M Sukhoi

    Yes, I get the same message. Been happening for a couple of days now. About the same time you mentioned the first time. Hmm.....me thinks the gremlins from "that" other site are trying to raise havoc. Bet Bartman is already working on a special little potion for those little demons as we speak...

    Throttle Linkage Geometry

    Basically we do the same procedure. In essence the same result achieved. I think your method may be a little more "pre-set" than mine. I do use a tach which helps immensely. While I see mine just a tad quicker in set up, I think yours may be a little more precise. (I like it) I may have to give...

    Lifting your plane to the ceiling

    Well now isn't that cool as dog s*&^ on a cold winter day? I may have to look at this more seriously.

    Good lord man, Nicely done.... Thanks for posting that. Heck, that motor "Yanks" that plane around like a beanie bag rag doll. Just out of curiousity, what prop are you swinging? How much does the plane weigh?

    Hangar 9 3.1M Sukhoi

    Wow..this helps a "LOT". Thanks guys. As I mentioned, my 260 is 41 lbs., 14 ounces. I am "VERY" pleased how she flies. Punch out from hover is incredible and I have trouble sometimes getting her down because she floats oh so nicely. Well, not really trouble. Just have to keep reminding myself to...

    Hangar 9 3.1M Sukhoi

    Wow...apparently I am doing something "REALLY" wrong here. I have not installed the motor, exhaust, prop and spinner or flight packs. However, weighing the fuse, wings, stabs and cowl....adding in the expected weight of the non installed items, I am at 42 pounds. Am I am doing this correctly. As...

    Hangar 9 3.1M Sukhoi

    Ok... a couple of really simple and quick questions for all you H-9 42% Sukhoi owners. What was your all up final weight of the 3.1m SU-26? Did you do any weight shaving? At the weight it is, how does it fly? Suggestions on losing weight? Last question: the specs show it to come in between 38...

    Why do you love this hobby?

    Good for you. It not only takes courage to over come an addiction. I've not personally suffered with this type of decease, however have been associated with many that have. Between natural father, recent ex girlfriend and others.... I've discovered it is "NOT" an easy thing to overcome. I take...

    Throttle Linkage Geometry

    Good point. My objective is always the same. Set my EPA's, get my motor running.... find out where the throttle response is in relation to the movement of the throttle plate. Adjust my travel volume, epa and throttle curve to achieve the best possible linear rpm increase over the entire throttle...

    This really gives the hobby a bad name and some clubs are alot like this

    I snuck in late at night. Your members found me flying the next day. Or was it you that snuck into my field late at night? Oh well, the outcome was the same. Funny thing??? They don't mind heli's.... figure that one out? I guess it's just that I, (according to them) fly my planes like a...
