Kudos to your runway \ lawn maintenance team. That runway is stunning! Smooth as a pool table.

I anticipated this video since you first started the build. It’s still hard for me to wrap my head around a 3-1/2 month build, have it turn out absolutely gorgeous and fly superb! That’s a 6-12 month build for me at the least. Hats off brother 🎩!!! Can’t wait to see what’s in store next on the building table and can’t wait to watch the Goldberg Sukhoi fly

Absolutely awesome Andy😊 So glad she flies great Don't know if I'll finish mine this summer but I'm in the market 4 A gt80 or gp 76 I would really like to know where your CG ended up so I can make mine the same 😊 Enjoyed following the build

@n1114v 17 күн бұрын

I would recommend using Nick's CG. Mine flies the way I like but most wouldn't like how sensitive the tail is.

@Shaunmclean12 19 күн бұрын

Well, I watched from the start to the end of the build. There is nothing wrong with the finish. You pointed out the flaws, but hell, you will not get it flawless. There is a saying that if it is perfect, then it is not done by hand. Flys great good job looks great. 👏

Nice finish…where does cooling air exit cowl? Seems the normal side exhaust vents are missing.

I have slits in the bottom of the cowl, as well as a pass through the fuse

Hello Andy Just wanted to add that take off was amazin as well as the landing . ? Do you a set elevator trim slightly down for maiden as to avoid becoming airborne to soon or before sufficient speed is reached before rotating

@n1114v 18 күн бұрын

Nope, everything is set at neutral for a maiden flight

holy crap how the hell do you fly without rates and expo? lol i think im a shit pilot now

@n1114v 18 күн бұрын

I've been flying longer than that stuff has been around. Not a fan of flipping switches, and never liked the feel of expo. My models are just like the full scale...... all in the stick!

@WickedMoto 18 күн бұрын

@n1114v yep I hear you there. I just couldn't imagine my 3d planes or my fast turbine sport jets having 0 expo and full throws from the servos. I've only been flying for 5 years or so now, so having only been used to expo and lower rates even though I don't flip any switches. Just don't think I'd be as smooth with out it as you are
