Hangar 9 3.1M Sukhoi

[3-D Flyer]

Got a smokin' deal on a D/A 170.

I have one of these awaiting assembly as well.

(Moving in a new home first) doing the RE3's as well...

In the mean time, gave the 170 a detail as it it was somewhat rough when it reached me...

2nd pic is the "before" shot. First is "after".

That case looks awesome, my DA's don't look that good, but they run good.

Nice job! I had to do the same thing to an 85 I bought used last summer.

I received my Sukhoi a month or 2 ago. It's still sitting in the boxes, I will get to it when I can. None the less, i love to read about them, happy to have found this thread.

Is everyone still using the stock wheels on their suk? I have was tuning my engine on the air frame this afternoon and noticed that my right wheel is starting to come apart already. The foam on the inside of the wheel is starting to show by the rim. One would think that you should at least get one flight on these sh$&&@ @$$ wheels. What is everyone else using?

This is what I used on my SD 42% 260.



5" Dia. Treaded Lightweight Wheel #500TL. 500TL Tire Width 1.500 (38.10mm). Our NEW Large Scale Treaded Lightweight wheels are substantially lighter than other aircraft wheels available. These lightweight wheels feature a foam interior yet have a tough and rugged exterior skin for durability. Excellent for paved runways! Hubs come with 3/16 (5mm) axle dia. opening and can be drilled out to 1/4.



They are holding up exceedingly well and I plan to use them on my Sukhoi. I tend to set my pants a little higher than others, (about 1/4" to 1/2" higher) They seem to give better clearance and I don't constantly "snag" them on the grass. I would use White Rose, but I see no point in hiding such beauty behind a curtain no one can see.

Frank I ran into that as well. My email provider was filtering notifications from here as spam. I had it fixed.
