Master series sukhoi build thread

[mach1 rc]

This thread is going to document my sukhoi build. I plan to be releasing plans for a mini and a full size. Now that I bought a radial motor I can have enough power to really put this plane through its paces. So far I've got the plans for the mini printed out and I am really looking forward to seeing how it flies.

I have the wings together. It went together really fast. But their were a few issues I'm going to have to iron out.

The tail is done😁 I'm planning on just quickly getting this plane built then see if it flies. Then go a bit slower and make it look good.

How do people go about finishing airframes in a day and by that I mean nice ones? Whenever I build something in a day it ends up having no aesthetic appeal whatsoever and usually lasts less than that in flying time!

Also is it just me or does the tail look to be crooked slightly?

That looks great!

It looks awesome! You should get a side by side with the E-flite one

Does anyone think I should do vortex generators?

Big YES, they help a lot.

I don't have a 3d printer but would poster board work? And if so how would I set it up.
