This isn't really a new thread but seeing that my oldest and most favorite plane died about 6 weeks ago..... It had to be replaced.... enter Sukhoi V2.
Apart from the different colour, which I think will look spectacular in air, the new V2 is a bit lighter, the tailplane and rudder are now airfoil shaped, (On the original version they were flat), apart from that there doesn't appear to be much difference at all.
I have swaped everything from the old plane to the new one so you expect the C of G to be pretty spot on with the same battery placement.... ... wrong..... I had to move the battery back 30mm, that is quite surprising.
Anyway .... she is already packed in the car, I will be stopping by the field tomorrow afternoon about 3.30 for a few balancing flights.... here are a few pics of my new bestest buddy.
PS: If you ever get a chance to fly/ own one of these things.... don't pass it up they seriously are the best......... period!
