In 1989 I had the chance to see the primary two Russian Sukhois fly on the EAA AirVenture airshow in
Oshkosh, Wisconsin. That day I fell in love with this aircraft. I’ve designed two RC fashions of the Sukhoi, the primary was printed in Mannequin Aviation in 1994 and the second was printed in Mannequin Airplane Information in July 1996. I’m now flying electrical so it appears pure that my subsequent design can be an e-powered Su-26.
I’ve been flying fashions within the 3-pound vary utilizing my trusty Hacker A30 10L V4 motor, so that’s the motor that I designed the aircraft round. The completed weight of this mannequin got here in at 3 lb., 8 oz., able to fly. It’s constructed principally of 1/4- and 1/8-in. Depron foam with some inner plywood and balsa constructions. I take advantage of Clear Gorilla glue, which may be very robust and doesn’t foam. It sticks to foam, balsa, and plywood. It isn’t a quick drying glue, so issues must be pinned in place for a bit to dry. The Sukhoi Su-26 is a reasonably fast and straightforward to construct. For the total development article, see the March/April 2024 difficulty of Mannequin Airplane Information.
