Lightly modified ParkZone Sukhoi SU-26: harriers and such

My first YouTube video. This is me flying my ParkZone Sukhoi SU-26 with a few cheap mods: Common Sense RC 130 mAh 15c battery; heavy-duty battery extension leads; battery moved back to second cooling hole; decal delete; GWS 5043 prop w/Microflight adapter. The CG is @ 38 mm, and the all-up weight is 34.1 g. Flight times are around 8-10 minutes. In this configuration, the aircraft flies much better than stock.

These three videos are the videographer's first attempt at shooting RC aircraft.

i llove the video, awesome paint scheme too, but im doing the same thing (maknig youtube videos about RC) and heres a tip: just talk more, talk about how much it costs, how it flys, because alot of the people who would watch a video like this want to buy the plane. Glad i could help(:

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. Was my first attempt at 'Tube video. My friend Mark (who was also the videographer) did the paint job for me. He's an accomplished artist. My artistic skills pale in comparison, so I asked him to help me come up with a scheme that would be easy to see in the air - under less than ideal lighting conditions. It worked. I find it even easier to see than the new XP version. Also - you make a good point - I'll include some commentary in my future clips.

Tdemaree,

Thanks for the compliments! I removed the factory decals to save weight, and my friend Mark did the paint scheme. He is also the videographer for these videos. He's using my Panasonic 3CCD GS500 camcorder in 720 x 480i.
