    That is one of the best photo's we have taken. I really like How well the E-Flite SU-30 Flies. I am surprised How quite it is for a twin 70 mm EDF's. The SU-30 is one of the heaviest for it's size the single 80 mm ED's I have are noisier but lighter, I noticed I have to fly with more power than...

    The T-34 is hard to find. There were not many out there. There are many T-28's out there in diff. sizes with or without retracts. I kinda like the looks of the T-38 Mentor. Might have to talk my brother into putting a set of electric retracts in it later.

    The packs I have been flying the E-Flite A-10 with are Admiral's 6cell 3300's 30c, and their 6cell 4000 60c Pro. The 3300 30c pack is 6 oz. lighter then the 4000 60c packs.
