ARF
ASSEMBLY MANUAL
The new Sukhoi 29S 50E ARF was designed by Italy aerobatic
pilot, Sebastiano Silvestri and the design is based on of his new
Tournament Of Champion’s competition airplane.
This professional ARTF kit is the result of Sebastiano’s long
research in 3D performance. This combined with an extremely
lightweight structure, the all wood airframe, the big control
surfaces and the new revolutionary Lift Generator on landing
gear give the Sukhoi 29S 50E an impressive thrust-to-weight ratio
and crisp control authority at any airspeed and flight
condition….That for this small class of airplane is revolutionary!
The Sukhoi 29S 50E can do it all…unbelievable easy harriers,
torque rolls, blenders, waterfalls and almost anything else you can
dream up are waiting you!
.....the only aerobatic limit is your fantasy!
