30% Sukhoi 26M ARF
Instruction Manual
Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the Performance Aircraft Unlimited 30% Sukhoi 26M. The
Russian designed aerobatic Sukhoi has been around for decades. Designed to be a rugged aerobatic airframe
with a powerful radial engine makes these aircraft all out performers with a unique sound that makes them
unmistakable. Another feature unique for the Sukhoi is the pilot's seat. The pilot sits in a reclined position
allowing their body to sustain high G-loads then normal upright seating.
The PAU is designed with 1490 sq inches of wing area for feather light performance. All wood construction
and top quality hardware make it hard to beat. Many hours of testing and refinement has allowed us to produce
a Sukhoi 26M that looks like a Sukhoi, but also delivers aerobatic agility and stability only found in the best RC
aircraft. When you arrive at the field with the PAU Sukhoi 26M, no one will ask you "who makes that Yak?"
only "Wow, nice Sukhoi!" From the side windows to the color scheme and this is a real Russian beauty.
