I emailed the Icare folks about the SU-29. They want $105.00 for the plane plus approx $21.00 shipping. I am curious about the Hong Kong power system items if you could spare a few minutes to list them Akent. Thanx in advance.

No Problem Scar!

In the Su-29:
I'm running the Turnigy 2213 1050kv motor (around 200 watts):

A Turnigy Plush 18 amp ESC:

I run the $2.50 HXT-900 servos.

And APC 10x4.7 Slo Fly props. The HC APC clones are good.

I fly this with a 1000ma 3s to keep it light. I am easy on the throttle, so I can get up to 6 minutes of flight most flights. I hover some, and do other 3d with it. I'm still learning 3d and this thing makes me look pretty good at times!

I stayed with exactly the setup in the instructions and this is the smoothest thing I have ever flown in my life. I let several folks fly it at the field. They all love it. I have actually not crashed this thing yet. It's that smooth and forgiving! I have flown it through probably 20 batteries so far.

I now do high alpha landings at basically walking speed or less with no wind. Yes, it can do that! It can land moving backwards with a little wind.

If you buy one of these Su-29's and do the kevlar pull-pull on the tail (a little more work, but the thread is included), you will be amazed by how smooth this thing flies. It really is amazing. It actually comes with instructions, double sided on a single piece of paper. You better have your magnifiers out.

It could be that a lighter power plant would fly this thing that much better. I don't know, but I want another one to play with! This one is just too awesome.

Also realize that half of the entire wings on this model are the ailerons!

How awesome is that!?!?
