ST 2500 / Sig Sukhoi
Stupid Question:
I have a NIB ST 2500. Is this enough for my Sig Sukhoi ARF? My other choices are a G62 (too big?) or a Quattra 31 (too small). I am new to ST.
Thanks for hlep in advace!!!

What is a Quattra 31? Is it maybe a Quadra gas engine? What weight and wingspan is the Sig? The first thing you have to decide is gas or glow. A glow engine costs a lot of $$ per flight with big glow engines. The next thing is what do you want for performance. Give more details and someone will help you out. Thanks John P.S. The g62 may not be too big, but you may have too beef tail and landing gear.

We've got one at our field on a G-38 ....Flys it great........If the engine is a Quadra 35 maybe......That would fly it fine. About an 18-6/10 or so PROP

I will try the g62. I have beefed up behind the landing gear. I am also going to mount the LG with softmounts... try to keep it from tearing apart on our grass strip.
thx for all the good advice!

Sukhoi/G62
The landing gear are very stout. I've had no problems with mine and I take off and land on grass.
Be sure to beef up the firewall. I tripled mine and added quite a bit of tri-stock.
Even with the added weight up front I didn't have to add much to the rear. Mount your battery pack(s) back as far as possible.
