These are general guidelines measured from our own flight
tests. You can experiment with higher rates to match your
preferred style of flying.
Note: Travel Adjust, Sub-Trim and Dual Rates are not listed
and should be adjusted according to each individual model
and preference.
Note: We highly recommend re-binding the radio system
once all the control throws are set. This will keep the servos
from moving to their endpoints until the transmitter and
receiver connect.
Preight
For those of you who are veterans of large models, this
is old news. But to you newcomers to the world of large
models, this is very important information.
While many smaller models are not critical of proper battery
use, and are tolerant of improper control linkage setups
and flying techniques, large models are not. Don’t let that
scare you away from large models; they are truly one of the
best flying experiences in RC that money can buy. However,
please pay particular attention to the following areas.
Maintain the proper mechanical advantage on all control
surface linkages.
Just as with unsealed hinge gaps, mechanical advantage is
often another cause of flutter. Please follow the control horn
and servo arm lengths recommended in this manual. Shorter
arms on the servo or longer control horns on the elevator
and ailerons are fine, but do not try to go the other way to
increase throw. It can cause flutter or servo failure on the
Sukhoi. The recommended linkage setups are more than
adequate to achieve full 3D throws.
Check the radio installation and make sure all the control
surfaces are moving correctly (i.e. the correct direction and
with the recommended throws). Test run the engine and
make sure it transitions smoothly from idle to full throttle
and back. Also ensure the engine is tuned according to the
manufacturer’s instructions, and it will run consistently and
constantly at full throttle when adjusted.
Check all the control horns, servo horns, and clevises to
make sure they are secure and in good condition. Replace
any items that would be considered questionable. Failure of
any of these components in flight would mean the loss of
your aircraft.
Never attempt to make full throttle dives!
Large models perform much more like full-size aircraft than
small models. If the airframe goes too fast, such as in a
high-throttle dive, it may fail. The Sukhoi should be flown
like a full-scale Sukhoi. Throttle management is absolutely
necessary.
Hardware checks
Double-check the setscrews in all control horns to be sure
they are very tight. Periodically check these to be sure they
have not loosened over time. Always use threadlock on
metal-to-metal fasteners.
Receiver battery selection
Be sure adequate batteries are used to power the receiver.
It is STRONGLY recommended that two identical 6-volt
receiver packs are used. Each pack must have a minimum of
2700mAh capacity. Use packs of 3000mAh when super high-
torque servos are used.
Range check
Always range check the radio system per the manufacturer’s
instructions before the initial test flight
and periodically afterward.
Check the voltage of the on-board packs
ALWAYS use an expanded scale voltmeter with a 1-amp
load to check the receiver battery packs and the ignition
pack before each and every flight. If there is any doubt that
the packs are questionable, DO NOT FLY until the packs are
recharged.
