Flying my new parkzone sukhoi SU-26m in a small gym

I decided to try flying this thing in the local school gym. I've only flown 4 batteries since I got it and I've never flown anything inside. It's not easy. this thing is fast for me and the space is small. I was suprised how bad the airflow in the gym affected the plane. I managed 3 or 4 good flights and landings and then tried to do a loop. I hit the floor at the bottom and broke the prop, oops. musta been the Air Conditioning. Hope the LHS gets spares soon.

from what I've read that is true. I've had several successful landings on grass and all my landings in the gym were smooth enough to not hit the prop until I tried to loop, it just wouldn't pull up fast enough and it hit pretty hard, I was lucky it was only the prop to break. you can see and hear it in my other video.

Hey looks good. i like it.I saw a clip of a guy flying the same plane w/a much smaller 3 blade prop gave him about 1" clearance it flew very well i will try to find it for you..

The prop breaks REALLY easy. I broke mine first flight too. even a little touch makes it snap. you really need to flare on the landing and be careful. the ground clearance is nill...
