PAU 30% Sukhoi SU-26

[Tseres]

OK. Sukhoi Fans. It looks like the final pieces have arrived from Redwing RC... The fortitude tank I use in most of my planes and I also decided to try a Quick Release bolt setup. Most everyone knows that I'm friends with Herve at PAU but what you don't know is that I'm also friends with Tim at Redwing. I try to support both companies as much as I can. You get great service from both.

I have my Camel lower wing pined to the building board right now. As soon as I get the wing finished I'm going to finish the Sukhoi. keep looking in.

Had some Questions about the wing locks. Found a video that can explain it better then I could.

I am certain R&D would not let anything through that was not tested completely. I considered these for the PAU but got afraid they would loosen in flight. Post some results when you have a chance?

I don't believe it can loosen up in flight unless something breaks loose. It has to be the rubber washer breaking the glue joint for that to happen. It's up to the user to tighten the bolt properly to make sure that don't happen. I will let you know good or bad once I've flown it for a while.

I have personally witnessed a wing jettisoned from an AJ slick using these and they were installed at a huckfest by Redwing owner. Resulted in complete destruction. I'm going to have to pass. I like good old fashioned bolts.

Sorry Tom.

Ah man. You burst my bubble.

I prefer 1/4x20 bolts glued in the wing with nylon wing nuts to hold the wing in the fuse. I make this modification on any plane that isn't already setup for it. Never had one of these fail.

I replace the wing nuts yearly.....they are like prop bolts. INEXPENSIVE when you buy them in bulk.

I've sent off to B&E Graphix for some stickers. I told him what I had in mind and gave him free reign. Now I'm on pins and needles to see what he comes up with.

I sen't him these pictures. Thought you may want to see the before.

I can't wait to have mine flying again this year
