Created: October 2003
Updated: February 2004, added wheels, created FMS Alpha8 .par

Notes: This model was requested by Thomas Nelson himself when
asked about the availability of an FMS model of the SU-27 Flanker.
After some searching I found an SU-27 model but had already 
started work modifying a Mig-29 .MQO file of Kiyoshi Hidaka
(mailto:logic_wizard@nifty.com). With his kind permission I 
adjusted the Mig29 model to more closely approximate Thomas 
Nelson's fan fold foam SU-27. Thomas modified the .PAR file
to provide actual flying characteristics of his model.

This link at RCGroups provides details of Thomas' build.

for position data in the alpha8 .par file.
