Introduction
In the world of competition aerobatic airplanes, the
Russian Sukhoi SU-26m is the equivalent of a top fuel
dragster that can turn on a dime. Its combination of
absurd amounts of horsepower, light weight, rugged
construction and amazing agility allows aggressive
pilots to perform to the limits of their physical
endurance.
E-flite perfectly captures the essence of this aerial hot
rod with its Sukhoi SU-26m – a scaled-down version of
the Hangar 9 Sukhoi SU-26m designed by world-class
IMAC competitor Mike McConville. The E-flite SU-26m
features an exceptionally lightweight airframe that was
designed around the powerful Park 480 BL outrunner
motor (sold separately). As with the full-scale Sukhoi,
this combination of lightweight construction and
prodigious power gives the E-flite SU-26m unlimited
performance that is ideally suited for 3D aerobatics.
