The differences in this Suk vs the older H9 SU-31 are too numerous to list. The list of common parts is much shorter.

1) Cowl

Thats it.

The Hangar 9 on the cowl is a sticker that isnt factory applied. Its supplied on a decal sheet.

Mike, I have a 3w 75ius currently not attached to anything. How do you think It would perform it the su-26mm sukhoi? I would prefer the DA but this what I have for now.

Launch Pad McQuack

Mike you mention the cowl is the same as the SU-31. I broke my gear on a hard landing. Will the new SU-26 gear fit the old Sukhoi?

I have over 150 flights on the SU-31 and love it. I am sure with the lighter wing loading this will be a winner to. Keep up the great work.

Mike,

For the MTW cannister, is it internal like the small 27% extra or external? Any pictures of the cannister installation?

Any updates on more videos, pictures, or manual online?

i have a zdz80 without a home, had it on a comp arf at 22.5lbs and was plenty of power with a 26-8 cf prop, anyway lost the plane[sm=cry_smile.gif], i have been looking at the sd33% yak and then i saw this baby, anyone care to speculate which may be a better 3d platform? specs are similar with this sukoi being a tad longer and a bit more wing area, both good things, just would like to hear some opinions, i am planing to get one or the other....any more vids or pics of this other than whats on horizon site???

Pipe is internal. Similar to the 27% 260. 1 x 8711 on rudder is plenty. No blowback at any speed.

Mike,

I've seen two posts on RCU asking your opinion on how the 3W 75i would perform in this airplane and you haven't answered either. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Les

Hi Mike, A friend an I have just decided to go for your new SU-26 and will make the order from Horizon next week. The decision was largely based on how great my Extra 260 is that I got a couple of months ago.

I have a question for you though... how would the SU-26 fare with the DA-100? would the wing loading go through the roof? would the performance deteriorate? could we fit the Da-100 into the cowl?

MMcConville

My Feedback: (4)

The spark caps would poke through the cowl. It would be heavier but whatever the diff is in the 100 vs the 85. More power than the 85 isnt needed unless your flying at like 12000 feet though

Maged

Thanks Mike. we're now sold on the DA-85. want to keep the wing loading downas much as possible. What would you recommend for props to use for arresti aerobatics and / or 3D?

Maged

does it come with that fantastic metallic blue spinner? if not where can i get it from.

Hey Mike, I have the new Su-26MM on order and I'm trying to get all of the equipment in before it arrives.
I'll be using the DA85 with the MTW 110 Canister but no one at Horizon could tell me which Header to buy. Can you advise on the Header? Also, is the DA 85 mounted inverted on this plane?
Thanks for the info.

MMcConville

My Feedback: (4)

The engine is inverted. DA will know what header you need for it. I dont remember off hand, but I worked with them on the project.

Didg

Hi Mike,

It says in the spec that this plane will take engines from 58cc.
Any idea how it performs with an engine at this lower end.

I'd like to fit a Laser 360 V twin.
It has roughly the same power as a Z62, weighs 60 oz and will swing a 24x8 prop.

Thanks,
Didg.

Have not flown it with the smaller engines, but it is very lightweight and balances with the DA85 which is a light engine so I would conclude that it will be good. No doubt better than the older 33% models as its lighter and will balance better with the light engine.

Didg

Thanks Mike.

Any idea of the weight of a DA85?

Thanks,
Didg.

It is 4.3 Lbs

Thanks for posting that TheEdge, I cant remember anything. I love Desert Aircraft and their engines, but I sure wish they'd update their web-site. Thats where I go for any DA specs but the 85 isnt there yet.

Didg

Thanks for that.

so a regular zdz80 at 4.2 bare should be a good match for this plane too right??

Hi Mike,

This SU-26 sure looks sweet! I just found it on H9:s website and the performance on the video is awsome.
I´ve been obsessed with the thought of a Sukhoi or Yak with a Moki radial engine since I saw some really nice pictures and vids on Airworlds homepage.
The smallest one, the Moki 150 weighs around 9,15 Lbs (4300g) and I guess that means some serious problems with the balance of the plane and also maybe the wing loading?

I know that Airworld´s SU-31 is designed for the Moki 215 (amongst others) but what I have learned, that ARF is not a simple or quick build.. That´s one of the things that attracts me with the H9 SU-26.

The Moki 150 is 255mm in diameter and with 8,5hp it can swing a 28x14 or a 30x12. I think it will fit within the cowl if the length of the engine is OK. (215mm from firewall to prop) Perhaps the increased weight means less 3D performance but for more basic aerobatic it could be allright.

Well, I will need some time to save money for the Moki, in the meantime I will think about possible models for it.

Regards,
Lars
