Pilot 40% 330 Recover and Build

The one on the big Sukhoi is a DA dot and the one on the Extra is a 3w screw on cap. Note the brand mixing on my Extra.View attachment 103680View attachment 103681

Wow the Sukhoi looks different the front end with that cone shape is not something you you see to often. Man that plane looks clean, neat and mean. The engine is beautiful and the two velocity stacks look great.

@stangflyer could you do me a favour please. Would be so kind as to tell how much a set of wings weigh of a 40% aircraft complete with wing tube and servos. Thanks.

Not a problem. I can give you an approximate as not all 40 centers are the same. The 40% 260 is a much smaller airframe, (Not much bigger than a 35% 330) than the 40% 330. The 40% 330 is larger than the 40 center Sukhoi. (Depending on manufacturer). The 40% Sbach is pretty close in size to the 330. The Edge somewhere in between. And of course the 40% Behemoth Yak is, well just plain big. So relative size of the full scale will ultimately dictate the size of their perspective 40% counter parts. Now as for weight, they are all fairly close to one another. But again, it would depend on setup. As well as construction techniques. 2 servos vs. 3. Straight extensions vs. Multi-plex harnesses, snakeskin or the like. All this being taken into consideration, my 40% Yak wings with 3 servos per each aileron, harnesses and wing tube are right at 11.5 pounds. My 260 were about 10 on the nose. The Hangar 9 Sukhoi with two servos per each aileron, harnesses and tube are 10.8 pounds. As for the 330? No clue yet but will get a weight once they are flight ready. In reality, anywhere between 9 to 12 pounds seems about right. Keep in mind Extreme Flight is probably lighter, and PAU Edge I know for a fact is pretty close and similar to my SD 260. Does this help or is ya confused?

That is really cool Kelly. Kind of catchy! I am curious however, do you have special little hidden passages and doors or access panels marked ketchup, mustard, pickles?
