Free plan! Su-26 Low-Budget, High-Fun Aerobat
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 airplane. I’ve designed two RC fashions of the Sukhoi, the primary was printed in Model Aviation in 1994 and the second was printed in Model Airplane News 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 airplane round. The completed weight of this mannequin got here in at 3 lb., 8 oz., able to fly. It is constructed principally of 1/4- and 1/8-in. Depron foam with some inner plywood and balsa buildings. I take advantage of Clear Gorilla glue, which could be very sturdy and doesn’t foam. It sticks to foam, balsa, and plywood. It is just not a quick drying glue, so issues have to be pinned in place for a bit to dry. The Sukhoi Su-26 is a reasonably fast and simple to construct. For the total building article, see the March/April 2024 concern of Model Airplane News.
