sir i'm buying t-28 ultra micro this coming dec 18, and i'm going to buy BNF version..and a dsm2 transmitter in the local hobby shop is it possible to bind ultra micro from parkzone with other transmitter?
Can you bind this plane with the transmitter that comes with the RTF Night Vapor (it says that it is DSM2, and I think it's 4 channels but it's only using 3)?
hi, I have just bought this plane, it climbs with maybe 20-40 degree angle.
The battery lastet for maybe 2 minutes (I tried with 130Mah 12C too, but the flying time was actualy less even though it had benn charged more recently)
Hi Dave. your all videos are outstanding and your skills too. I just wanna ask that i have flown some traniers like a 4ch f6f hellcat and a esky 4ch nemo. so i wanted to buy a ultra micro plane so should i by a eflite ultra micro 4site or the parkzone sukhoi su-26m which one you would recommend kindly reply plz thanks & rgds maxrisk
the hobbytown i go to. they have a place to test your rc cars in the store! if you want a small rc car they give you the one they own and you test it on that track! if you walk in the front door its right in front of you! no need to walk in the back!
when my throttle is on my elevator stops working... you have to twich the control for it to react.... but when the throttle is off then it has no problem any ideas doctor dave?
k i have a question i have never flied and i am only 13 what do you guys think a pilot my age would set the throws to on my dx6 because once again i have 0 xp thanks
I have the Parkzone Ember which flies beutifully. I would like to move on the the Sukhoi Su-26m BNF but would you know if the transmetter I got with the Ember will work the the Sukhoi? It is a 4 channel unit even though the Ember only uses 3 channels.
Great Video and review! Just picked one up today, Tommorow will be its maiden flight,. should be fun! thanks for the tips ->Do not land on AssFault as it causes "Wrecktum Problems". LOL
I've got a strong feeling that the ember transmitter will work with the sukhoi. Considering its the same transmitter that comes with the RTF sukhoi.
PS: If you want a small outside flyer, I would recommend the ultra micro p51, its a little faster, and a little more well built. I'd get it instead of the sukhoi, but thats my opinion.
True, thanks for the correction. I was not aware of this when I posted this comment. But I think that the P51 is still faster. Am I right? Thats flat out speed I'm talking of.
Do you think that it's possible to fly the Sukhoi su 26m Parkzone without expo (with the spectrum dx5e for example)? if yes will it be difficult for an intermediate pilot?
if you have this plane, you really need to change the prop to a gws 5043. you will also need an adapter to make it fit. I am using zippy 350mah 20c battery and getting 15-17 minute flights. The battery and prop make this plane one heck of alot more fun. The prop will give you lots more power and its more durable and lower profile.. good plane great fu!
all of you it is not reccomended that you use the sukhoi with those radios at least a dx5e is re comended just to name a few, dx61, dx7,jrx9303, jr12x, realy any dsm2 system will work, and chances are, that yo need mutch more flight experiance, unless yo crash at least less than 1 in 6 vapor and ember flighs dont get this, and the mcx is soo easy i think get a fitst time plane first. if you are like me and you need this one next I wold reccomend getting an experenced instructer or a simmulator.
I just got one of these but I can't get it to bind to my Vapor transmitter. As soon as you plug battery into plane, the plane just has epileptic glitch episode. Never gets itself to calm down and flash light to start bind.
Great Review! I am thinking about getting one and i am not sure if i should get this or the cessna 210. I think i will get the Sukhoi tho. Do you think i will have any sucess with this if I have had experiance with the Vapor and Ember 2?
i guess you would be ok. vapours and embers r 3 channel but this is 4. if you havent used a 4 channel b4 it will be new but i thnk you'll handle it. you should also check out the ultra micro p-51d. same as this but not as fast or airobatic. looks better 2. either way you go you'll b ok
Great Video Dave. I have only been flying for a few short months but I love my little sukhoi. I only have a DX5e, so I don't have the expo and other computer Tx features but it sure flies great.
I don't know if you saw this, but according to spektrum you should mount the battery at the rear most position. They have a nice set up on expos and d/r for this plane. Check it out on their website. I saw it when I was looking up info on my DX7
Nice video. I would have had one yesterday had my sale with my MLST2 gone through but it didnt! So my main question is will my 4CH mcx transmitter or dads 5CH CX2 transmitter work temporarily until I can get enough money for a DX5e?
ha ha yea, i got an aerobird challenger about 5yrs. ago been crashed a bunch 3-4 wings and some tape still flys, oh and rubberbands ha ha ha , get some altitude full throttle easier to turn half throt, w/a little up stick keeps level on turn, no throt, slow controls will glide down, the range on mine is 2500 ft, plenty good, find a large open place and try not to be scared, i painted one half wing for orientation. control is backwards coming at ya. have fun!
Got mine a few days ago and I love it. Removed the spinner and moved the pushrods for max throw. Batt as far back as possible. Great fun for the cash.
hello, i have had a bit of experience with rc planes now i would say you would have to have a bit of experience not alot thought due to the size it will be harder to break than a lager airoplane it shoudelt be to hard to fly.
Can anyone tell me if parts from the Parkzone Vapor and or Ember will fit the Sukhoi, things like prop shaft, motor and prop? The last two part numbers are the same for each model and they look identical in the pics. Any help appreciated as I broke both props and have a suspect prop shaft but my LHS sez they cant get parts for the Sukhoi (but sold 20 aircraft in less than a week) They may have Vapor or Ember parts? Cheers and great review Guys..
The Vapor prop is to small, and the pitch is too shallow. The motor is about double the size, I think the gearbox is the same, the receiver/esc is 6 channels.
Only really two drawbacks. One is the price... in today's market, $100 for molded foam and the skimpy electronics it has is really a lot of money with no Tx. And it's weight means no wind flying.
I normally would agree with both comments, but have flown this bird a few times in 10 - 15 mph winds, and crashed it about 20. All pilot error on grass with no landing gear,, (took a bit to get used to as its touchy on the controls) and it is suprisingly tough! I broke the prop 1 time but other than that , she has survived some nose down throttle up crashes and some where I have said "this cant be good" on my way to get it.... all with no need for repair.
Actually, $100 is relatively cheap. I would expect to buy each individual part for something like this (not actual retail).
Charger ($10)
Battery ($5)
ESC ($10)
3 servos ($25)
Reciever ($30)
Motor ($5)
All adds up to $85 if everything was sold "reasonably." $15 and you get the airframe with it for $100. It's a pretty good deal considering the liberties I took. Normally micro servos cost a LOT of money (like $40 for two).
I had to go get one of these after I saw the review. I have a cesna 182 that is just too big to backyard fly and had been looking for something smaller yet still capable of tricks. This plane is a perfect fit!! Battery life is amazing for so small. You can also pleasure cruise or do tricks , depending on your mood/location. Great review, great plane, thanks Dave and Jeff!
Yeah I broke the prop but my LHS decided it not necessary to bring in any spare parts for these planes so once the other breaks that's it for a while. Wish I had a LHS like yours who actually look after us. There is a bloke here on YT who has retro fitted another prop to the Sukhoi with good effect. I'm also using the DX6i which works well with the plane. Great review, thanks..
hey Dave i got back into R/c flight, i want to get a camera mounted to a cx2 and go for a flight, but i wanted your opinion, would a 900Mhz wireless cam, or a 2.4xx Ghz camera function better?
the cx2 can and has lifted two nine volt batteries, not to sound snide at all. I do change the pitch of the blades by twisting lightly for some extra lift, just in hauling and not run hard. my idea was to run the heli from the 9v as well as the camera
Dave. I am convinced that you can fly any rc aircraft. I have seen some videos of simulated helicopter slope soaring. Do you think it is possible? I don't fly my esky belt cp well enough yet to try it for real. Thanks for the great video's
Yeah great video! i think its a nice break from the stiff an dvery formal Parkzone reviews. And also Very nice flying! great to see someone who is as interested in the hobby as i am!
Very cool plane and great flying as usual, Dave! You just might get me to want to learn to fly planes yet! Jeff, your flight skills are improving dramatically and it really shows man! You are truly blessed to have access to such a great teacher! Great job!
My dad bought one and their a handful. we bought it 2 days ago and we already broke the prop. lol. It's a lot of fun though!! Thanks for the tips on how to adjust the ailrons from the servo cus on low rates it was still a handfull. KEEP UP THE GREAT VIDEOS!!! I LOVE THEM!!
Excellent Review! All newbies should view this. The only thing I disagree with is that we commonly don't get 8-12min of flight time. Most are averaging 5-6min.
what would be different with a spectrum dx6i and the dx7? i realise the dx7 has an extra channel wich is what i want but are they both 2.4mhz and all? are they the same besides the extra channel?
please reply coz I am getting a new radio soon and i want it to last a long time.
They are both 2.4ghz radios. The dx7 is just a step up from the dx6i. They are both great radios so you wouldn't be disappointed with either one of them.
I just picked up mine today by some miracle--got the last one. It certainly is no joke why it ships with the extra prop. Luckily I saw your vid first and bought an extra on top of having the spare one. I broke it on the first landing. It seems to nose down quite a bit so I moved the battery all the way back. It was definately worth the $89 bucks.
Just got mine today. I was thinking even before I saw this video that you would want to fly it in medium length grass and hand launch only to start out with. Luckily that's what I did and the plane is extremely resistant to mild crashes as long as it's in the grass. MUCH more maneuverable than the Vapor. It feels like flying a tiny Typhoon 2 3d.
so here the winner is hobbytown? no problem just to understand

Actually, $100 is relatively cheap. I would expect to buy each individual part for something like this (not actual retail).
Charger ($10)
Battery ($5)
ESC ($10)
3 servos ($25)
Reciever ($30)
Motor ($5)
All adds up to $85 if everything was sold "reasonably." $15 and you get the airframe with it for $100. It's a pretty good deal considering the liberties I took. Normally micro servos cost a LOT of money (like $40 for two).

I had to go get one of these after I saw the review. I have a cesna 182 that is just too big to backyard fly and had been looking for something smaller yet still capable of tricks. This plane is a perfect fit!! Battery life is amazing for so small. You can also pleasure cruise or do tricks , depending on your mood/location. Great review, great plane, thanks Dave and Jeff!

Yeah I broke the prop but my LHS decided it not necessary to bring in any spare parts for these planes so once the other breaks that's it for a while. Wish I had a LHS like yours who actually look after us. There is a bloke here on YT who has retro fitted another prop to the Sukhoi with good effect. I'm also using the DX6i which works well with the plane. Great review, thanks..

hey Dave i got back into R/c flight, i want to get a camera mounted to a cx2 and go for a flight, but i wanted your opinion, would a 900Mhz wireless cam, or a 2.4xx Ghz camera function better?
BOBKB3NZX 2 years ago
Both will work fine, but weight could be a factor.
NightFlyyer 2 years ago
the cx2 can and has lifted two nine volt batteries, not to sound snide at all. I do change the pitch of the blades by twisting lightly for some extra lift, just in hauling and not run hard. my idea was to run the heli from the 9v as well as the camera
BOBKB3NZX 2 years ago
Dave. I am convinced that you can fly any rc aircraft. I have seen some videos of simulated helicopter slope soaring. Do you think it is possible? I don't fly my esky belt cp well enough yet to try it for real. Thanks for the great video's

My dad bought one and their a handful. we bought it 2 days ago and we already broke the prop. lol. It's a lot of fun though!! Thanks for the tips on how to adjust the ailrons from the servo cus on low rates it was still a handfull. KEEP UP THE GREAT VIDEOS!!! I LOVE THEM!!

does it hang on the prop like most 3D planes? sorry if you did that on the video and i just missed it
GreenAce92 2 years ago
No. It is not a 3d plane, and is so light, it doesn't stay put long.
NightFlyyer 2 years ago
Gotta admit. Flies a lot faster than those Vapors ;)

Excellent Review! All newbies should view this. The only thing I disagree with is that we commonly don't get 8-12min of flight time. Most are averaging 5-6min.

nice airplane.
what would be different with a spectrum dx6i and the dx7? i realise the dx7 has an extra channel wich is what i want but are they both 2.4mhz and all? are they the same besides the extra channel?
please reply coz I am getting a new radio soon and i want it to last a long time.
-thanks. Nater
Cunninghamn8r 2 years ago
They are both 2.4ghz radios. The dx7 is just a step up from the dx6i. They are both great radios so you wouldn't be disappointed with either one of them.

I just picked up mine today by some miracle--got the last one. It certainly is no joke why it ships with the extra prop. Luckily I saw your vid first and bought an extra on top of having the spare one. I broke it on the first landing. It seems to nose down quite a bit so I moved the battery all the way back. It was definately worth the $89 bucks.
mwilson14 2 years ago
yeah, the plane will not glide at all. You really have to have power to keep it from nosing down.

Just got mine today. I was thinking even before I saw this video that you would want to fly it in medium length grass and hand launch only to start out with. Luckily that's what I did and the plane is extremely resistant to mild crashes as long as it's in the grass. MUCH more maneuverable than the Vapor. It feels like flying a tiny Typhoon 2 3d.
wickedg 2 years ago
I agree. It is kinda like flying a mini Typhoon.
