I am currently flying the SUKHOI from Heartbeat models
OS46LAS propped with graupner 12 x 5 at 49 ozs
Motor is modded, has os40fp needle valve assembly fitted, but apart
from that, it is stock, and runs very well.
Tight lines to all

How about posting a picture of your Heartbeat Sukhoi? I have one in the stack, need inspiration. If you email a photo to me, I could post it, if you haven't figured that out yet.

Designed by Bob Hunt and once kitted by Aerosmith Model Aviation, it was/is the best flying profile I've ever had experience with. I've been flying one in Expert Stunt for the part 3 years, winning once, placing usually, and never too far out of the money.
It's two big advantages are:
Foam wing, so getting it straight is a no-brainer.
Small size - 490 sq in, so a light case 40 (Brodak, FP, etc) pulls it with extreme authority. Great wind penetration, and it builds light, too.
A request on this forum might just turn up an unbuilt kit, or a set of plans.
Johnny Duncan can cut a foam wing for it, too.
I can't say enough good stuff about this design. You can't go wrong with one.
