For over a decade the SU-31 earned the reputation of being one of the best and most successful aerobatic arcraft of all times. Besides the naked facts, some just love it because of its looks, some just because of the huge cowl housing a round engine. Our 3m SU-31 represents all these qualities and the new, smaller version is building right on this legacy.
With 2.75 m wingspan this aircraft is just that little bit bigger than a typical "100cc" aerobatic plane, and just that little bit smaller than the 3m monsters which not everybody can transport and store so easily. The 2,75m wingspan have proven to be the golden compromise for many.
But don’t be fooled, CARF-Models can offer this airplane also with a typical 2.6m wing, which makes it even more a pattern machine, perfectly suited for F3A-X. Almost "square" dimensions will give any pilot the competitive edge over most of the pack. And if 3D flying is preferred, the 2.75m wing with its thick trailing edges are putting the model into action in any airshow or freestyle contest.
The choice is yours. You can’t only chose between several standard or even custom color schemes, you can also choose the wing type, thus the flying style and competition performance. The CARF-SU-31 2.75 (2.6)m is once again a rule breaker and rule maker in its class.
So, what do you get with a CARF-Models SU-31 2.75?
As usual, you get an extremely well prefabricated airplane, you can’t call it kit, it is a true ARF. It is superstrong, yet light weight and well engineered for the flying stresses in competition. Made for 100-120 cc engines, it will also house the 114 cc four cylinder 3W, which many favour in this class. We fly our prototype with a DA 120, full pipes and a super quiet 3-blade 27x12, what a dream airplane that is.
The average weight is going to be somewhere between 13 and 14 kg. For an almost 2.6m long airplane with a cowl diameter of almost 34 cm a very impressive value. We know that weight wise we will never be able to compete with a superlight chinese balsa airplane, but as soon as you have your first contest in somewhat windy conditions, you will know why our philosophy rules. And if you look at your plane after 2 years of active flying, still looking like new out of the box, you will realize that all her wooden camerades have vanished meanwhile.
And you will notice that our Sukhoi looks like a Sukhoi. It’s not an Extra with a round cowl, and it’s not a Yak-54 without having a clue how the full scale aircraft would ever have looked. It is an aircraft with the same looks, with the the same character as the full scale. And still, it has all the tweaks and modifications we modelers think a successful contest plane must have to be competitive at highest levels.
The CARF-Models SU-31 2.75, also with the shorter 2.6m wings, is a marvel in its class, a joy to build and to fly and a beauty to look at. It is available in various color schemes and can be ordered with a complete custom scheme based on your documentation. It’s a plane where only you are the limit, and the sky....
Hei Alf
Det har vi sett andre ta hjem her tidligere den eneste måten å bli kvitt den på var vel nesten å gi den bort,så jeg tror neppe det hadde blitt noen høydare.
