Ordered my Su-26

Due to our bad weather up here it will be awhile.

Monokote Missile Red really? Oh well it's done. Time to put the cowl back on and shop for a prop. Then I'll put it back in the Vanessa and see where the cg moved to with that extra wood.

The Sukhoi and the old Ultimate are the only planes where the factory used Monokote.
I will inquire with them to make sure they have not changed any of it without my instructions.

To be honest the covering on the airframe acted a lot like Ultracote to me. That's why I confirmed with Herve before ordering covering. It sure doesn't match does it? Oh, and the assembly manual says Ultracote. Professionals utilizing premium Ultracote covering carefully covered your model. and Ultracote is a lower temperature film that seals and shrinks at lower temperatures.But hey its on the bottom and it's not pink!

Just for clarification I'm not complaining. Just putting this out for clarification. The airplane don't know what color it is and will still fly well.

Mine was monokote. I replaced a small section with it

 

[rmyers]

Ok it's done. Checked the CG it didn't move. Turns out the repaired area is almost right under the wing tube. Weighs 18 pounds. As soon as the weather and my schedule permit it's going out flying again.

I just got a reply from the factory: they "forgot" it was Monokote, and use Ulracote Flame Red!
I am not happy when they change something that was not spec'ed out by us, but that is what happened...
Sorry for those I have unknowingly mislead into the wrong color.

I knew it wasn't the artificial lighting in my shop! I'll dig through my stash and see if I might have some. Thanks Herve!
