OK.......finally getting back to work.
I got the fuse back......Name was painted over and it looks flawless.
Ordered the wood for the motor box
Got a nice carbon fiber wing tube and socket....saving lots of weight there.
Wings should arrive next week.

I got my wings back....they look great.
Cut out the wood templates for the motor box
Same for the landing gear.
I also found some rusteolum paint that matched the fuse pretty good for the gear (they were more orange than red)
I installed the stab CF tube in the plane and installed the tailwheel.
I should have some pics soon
Thinking around Xmas time she should be ready for the air (minus the motor)

Well I've been super busy with work and the wife complaining about life in general as well as me. (go figure)
I actually did a little work on the bird.
-Installed the tailwheel, but need to install the tail wheel supports inside
-Installed the stab tub
-cut out the rudder foam (need to cut the wood to replace the foam and bevel)
-drilled the landing gear for screws and found red paint to match airframe......gear are currently kinda orange
-cut out motor box peices and landing gear plates/formers
-glued motor mount to airframe and put motor box together
-got my ED ignition kill/sullivan smoke pump/gas tanks/extensions/rx
-still need 6 8611a's
-got my DS811 for throttle
I'm so far off my timeline......but I figure another month of good work and it should be close. I've got the next 2weeks off of work.
I still need a good 3W106 used if anyone has one for sale?

That was the orginal cost.......I didn't pay close to that though. Since he has gotten them the company (aero-fzd) has gone out of business. He only had 2 left.......red/white and blue/white.
Buyrc.com was selling them at a discounted price to move inventory out.......I chose the red one for price and I like red better than the dark blue
I believe the wing tube is 2inch diamter.....I'd have to measure the phenolic though.

RE: SU-26 Build Thread
Thanks for the information about the wing tube diameter. I am making the same size model aeroplane. My style to make the plane is little different, I make everything by myself. I don't use any kits or drawings. But it's hard to know how strong I must make all the parts. That's why the your information is very important.
Thanks
