The Sukhoi SU26
E-flite’s Sukhoi SU-26M is based on the highly successful single-seat
aerobatic plane from the former Soviet Union. Powered by a Vedneyev M14
nine cylinder radial engine the SU-26 has mid-mounted straight wings
and a fixed landing gear mounted on a solid titanium arc.
This first class aircraft has excellent acceleration, rate-of-climb,
controllability and the structural integrity to endure high levels of
positive and negative g-loads. The Sukhoi design also incorporates a
cockpit that allows the pilot an all-round field of view which is critically
important for handling within the limited flying space allowed during
aerobatic competition.
The Sukhoi SU-26 made its first flight in June 1984 and with further
modifications to the tail surfaces and conversion to a three-blade propeller
the aircraft won both the men's and women's team prizes at the 1986 World
Aerobatics Championships and has been wining titles ever since.
