I made a big mistake, when I ordered the decals I misspelled Specktrum, I spelled it Spectrum. It was my fault, but I would think Someone at B&E would have caught it and said hey wait a minute this isn't right. I have told the same thing to Eric in a email. Any ideas on how to get them off. I am going to get some more just not from B&E. Decal Dave you are fixing to get a order.
On the plus side I finally was able to loosen the big screw on the carb and as soon as I did fuel flowed to the carb. I tighten the screw put the choke on and after about 7 flips it fired, took the choke off and 3 flips later engine was running . It ran just fine on the factory setting, made a couple of adjustments on the travel with the radio and everything is good.

Eric at B&E is usually very busy at any given moment and with the new year brings LOTS of new airplanes which means LOTS of graphic package orders. Have to have some patience

I sent Eric an apology email, nothing that happened was his fault. I told him about how mad I was that I guess I was trying to blame someone other than me for the screw up. I did order 2 more decals from him with the correct spelling. He has a great product and I told him so.---Smitty

Correct spelling is Spektrum. I must admit, I didn't even notice. Was too impressed with how nice your Sukhoi looks.

Here is a picture of the instrument panel I put in, also a little thing I do is put soda straws over the needle valve mixture screws . On this model I made a bracket to put on the firewall to support the straws. Then I make small hole in the cowl just big enough for the straws to stick through, I painted the white so they are hard to see. This way you just slide a screwdriver into the straw , feel it go into the slot on the screw and adjust while the engine is running.---Smitty

I want to ask some of you guys who fly this plane, where did you end up with the CG. I am going to start at 6" back from leading edge as the manual says, but just wondering how far back most of you ended up. I have read a post that the IMAC flyers use 6 1/2" back. What is special to IMAC flying as to normal flying.---Smitty

Where did you get those with the rivits on them or did you do that yourself?---Smitty
