Got these on cyber Monday for $130 each. not bad for a $190 servo .

Pushing 4 years old I'm glad this kit had everything wrapped in plastic as the dust was everywhere. now that I'm in my new hobby area in my basement I actually have room to assemble a plane this size.

Added the bad ass 9380's to the tail feathers . They are astonishing servos. NFL linebacker strong, just simply stronger than a human being. Wicked fast and stops instantly. No whining or buzzing and no sagging while they are at rest.

I hope so, all I'm seeing here is open boxes, doh! haha

Hey... I started practicing IMAC yesterday... that's what that Sukhoi was made for... are you mostly going to do precision type flying with it? I'd think about going in a hole or two on the servo arms on the elevator servos. You'd get more resolution and put less stress on those stock plastic arms you're using.

Yup! Me agree 2! I myself used the furthest most hole on my 1.5" aluminum arms. Running two 7950's per elevator and aileron. While I get great deflection for sport and 3D flying, not the best for Precision. But the Sukhoi handles pretty much whatever you throw at it. I've considered moving mine in as I plan to do more IMAC with it this year. But soon as I do, I'll want to huck it again.

Stock arms will come off, haven't ordered any aluminum yet so using what I had to set the plane up. Was already thinking about coming in a hole or 2 with new arms.
