Guest Nigelr32 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Wow, this thread has turned into a great reference on the Su-25. Your build is astonishing, i love the muzzle work and detail on the Canopy. Thanks for posting all the reference pics. Those beautiful pitot tubes are made by Su-Semi. As you said they are available from Ebay and arrived for me very quickly and well packaged. I have the single and twin seat versions in my stash, it looks like I can go to town with the weathering on them!! Please keep this wonderful thread bursting with interesting pics and info.

Have found a few other images - but all showing Port side - anyone got any images of the Starboard side/upper surface? Thanks for posting! Iain Here it is !

harvy5 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Zero77 , nice work. I have to draw attention to the one error on your model.The Su-25 when flaps extended are extended the slots and the horizontal tailplane. And have only three positions. For flying for flight maneuvers slots -6 °, flaps -10 °, horizontal tailplane -1.57 ° take-off and landing slots -12 °, the inner flaps 40 °, external -35 ° and the horizontal tailplane -6 12 ° The plane that is not notified.

Zero77 Posted January 2, 2013 Author Share Posted January 2, 2013 (edited) Arf... No luck ! I believed flaps and slats were independants. But they are not. That's a pity, but it is too late for me, everything is glued. I had seen that while on the ground flaps and slats were always retracted, so i firstly wanted to build it in this retracted configuration. But the kit flaps are way too thick compared to the thickness of the wing, so it made a kind of step that was not very beautiful. For that reason I decided to make them extended. Is there any way that only the flaps would be extended while the slots are retracted, for maintenance or repair? Same thing for the gear traps, is there any way that they are open? Because i find it more beautiful when one can see inside the bays. (One of my engine doors will certainly be open, so the maintenance configuration could be quite coherent) Edited January 2, 2013 by Zero77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvy5 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Practically it is impossible. Slats, flaps and stabilizer controls one hydraulic valve BU-185U in picture number 40 and 41 At each position, are secured locks. Theoretically, it could be flaps only, but it would have to be extended, disconnect hydraulic cylinders, and again retracted the remainder. ALL OTHER covers they can open independently.
