Lovely Pete, it's a great flying model, I had a go with Pete M's before he destroyed it!

It's a rebuild isn't it? Post some pictures of how it started out if you have any, there are a few on here who could do with a few lessons on repairing :)

Thanks jon
The history of the sukhoi is that she had a very,very hard landing and nose over.Little did we know but this damaged some key interlocking part in the engine box,so the next flight pulling out of a hover the whole cowl,motor and engineering box parted company. The airframe just pancaked leaving the wings and stabs without a scratch so the only damage was the cowl and fuzz up to the canopy.
