Each wing = 4.1 pounds.



34.0 + 4.1 + 4.1 = 42.3 pounds with 3/4 of a tank on board.



So I was only off by a pound or so................:uncomfortableness::uncomfortableness::uncomfortableness::uncomfortableness::ambivalence::ambivalence::ambivalence::ambivalence::uncomfortableness::uncomfortableness::uncomfortableness::uncomfortableness:



My Edge has smoke and pipes and she weights a tad over 43 pounds.

Running a DA 170 with RE3's, Mej spinner that is only a few ounces, 9 servos, 2 Pulse 5000 MAH lipos for receiver and 1 2600MAH Fromeco Li-ion for ignition power. Single JR power buss receiver and a Dubro 60oz (I think that is correct) fuel tank. No effort to reduce weight at all. Love the way it fly's.

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 come off the gas pedal on my down wind leg and coast her all the way around. Here is what I came up with on the Sukhoi. 8.12 main wings with four servos, 2.05 stabs with four servos, 15.7 fuse. (Also chose to go with a 60 ounce Dubro) Don't know if it will really need it or not, but if it proves to be un-necessary, I can always change that. Motor, prop, spinner, exhaust and batteries yet to be installed. Uninstalled parts, I figure to be about 15 lbs. All up less any fuel, I am expecting 41.8 lbs. I figure that since the 260 has just a smidgen less wing area and stab area as well, The Sukhoi about a foot longer... coming in 6 ounces lighter, it should be juuuust fine. Especially since yours are right in that same range and they are floatin' fools. Whew, I feel much better now. Thank you so much for taking the time to get the weights and such for me. I do appreciate it.

[MENTION=258]stangflyer[/MENTION] ...I made a short video of my Pilot Yak with a DLE 170 coming out of a hover like said I would but the picture quality sucks. My cat must have licked the lens or something. You can still get a good idea of the engines performance..It yanks that Yak around pretty good..

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?

Xoar 32x10 ....I'll have to get back on the weight. I'm sure its lighter than your 3.1 SU-26 but not by a whole lot.

Here lately I've been getting this message after I post. Is anyone else getting this?

Fuselage with stabs mounted......26.1

Canopy ..................................1.6

Wings X2.................................6.3

Wing tube.............................. .14

minus fuel total 34.14



Not real sure how accurate....ballpark but since it's a 37.5% and not 40 that probably close. I started to change prop pitch but it really does pretty good with whats on it...

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.



Thanks for the info. That thing "wails" out of a hover. I am very impressed. I was looking at your weight numbers and I be like, "How the f*&^% did he get his wings at 6.3 and overall weight at 34.14?" Then I read on....duh..... LOL 37.5% verses 42% hee hee

Great info and great video. Muchly appreciato......

Ugh....double posted.

Here's the tail gear I used on my SU-26. I still have yet to fashion the little cover that goes over it where it attaches to the bottom of the fuse like the full scale. But I have some preformed material in mind and it should work out quite nicely.

That would be cool if you make it look like the full scale one...I don't remember anyone doing that so post pics when you have it done....
