RE: AKM SU-27 Flanker-Does Look Good
jim,well the gap is just less than a 1/8 of a inch so i think ill just scab a peice in there and sand it down and should be okay i got some parts in finally and started back on the fuse here are some pictures of the retracts with the wheels installed and i had to trim some but my front wheel fit just perfect i wonder still why you had problems here jim

RE: AKM SU-27 Flanker-Does Look Good
well here i took a close up of the wing meeting the fuse and this is what i have,i was thinking of just adding a piece if balsa and sanding it down to take up for this gap,what would you guys do to solve this any suggestions?

RE: AKM SU-27 Flanker-Does Look Good
wow jim i did not have those problems i wonder if your kit is just a bad one,looks like your makin it work but thats a lot of hassle huh i did get my right wing done so i took a few pictures with some of the other stuff just sitting there to get a idea what its going to look like and give me some momentum to keep plodding along

RE: AKM SU-27 Flanker-Does Look Good
jim, look back on page 47 post 1161 you can see where i put my throttle servo and it works out great just made a little servo tray and put in a mini servo there,nice short rod to the throttle and i am happy as it came out great thats why i have not closed up my engine nacelles yet as well,also i have ordered some robart tees and new airlines and those screw on clamps so i have no air leaks cause no matter how i did it with those ones supplied with the retracts i had small leaks and i want none as its hard to get to everything once its closed up yes i did everything you did as well with the 1/8 rods for fluttter should work great i was just pondering how i was going to hook them up and when i seen what you did i was happy i dont have to think about that no more,just one more thing to get lol oh by the way the aft spars in the wing are die cut duuuhhhh, so i have them and i got started anyway steve

RE: AKM SU-27 Flanker-Does Look Good
jim,i like the solution to the 1/8 wire that looks pretty good i think ill go that rout,i started a wing and the spars are soft balsa and i also do not have the 1/8 by 1/4 balsa strip that go into the ribs towards the trailing edge man that sucks i was bunmmin now that means i have to wait and get some,thats why i wish there was at least a inventory sheet then i would of caught this before now

RE: AKM SU-27 Flanker-Does Look Good
jim, i put in the tri stock where they said and i also put some in the sides and in front of them and on the sides as well since i fly off grass and yes the sheeting the lex was fun,not i wetted mine down and pinned over night and then glued it worked pretty good for me,if you had your retracts by now you would be way ahead of me u seem to build pretty fast i am now waiting on my motor steve

RE: AKM SU-27 Flanker-Does Look Good
well i have been working on mine but hooking retracts up and epoxy the wheel well and all it seems its going slow i did though moved the throttle servo up into the nose gear retract bay with a mini servo instead of going all the way thru the fusealage and i like it better this way and really shouldnt affect the cg

RE: AKM SU-27 Flanker-Does Look Good
jaaron,wow that part was off huh none of my parts have been off at all,one thing i can tell you though is watch your glue and do not use to much as later in the build i got glue in some places that needs parts fitted into them later and i had to spend alot of time witteling it out i just completed getting all my retracts hooked up and got them working last night what a pain that is,the air valve that they sent me was different from the one in the instructions and no marks on the valve saying which is inlet and outlet,and yes i had it backwards oh and you might wanna hook up your airline when you drop your retracts in was a pain putting the tubeing on the nipples i took some pictures last night but was too late to get them on here
