When it was introduced, the outstanding Russian SUKHOI took the aerobatic world by storm! Never before have
aerobatic enthusiasts had a machine so capable that it appears to have no limits. It enables the pilot not only to exe-
cute maneuvers with exceptional precision, but allows him to invent new maneuvers, as well! We have so completely
captured the essence of this extraordinary, competition-worthy aircraft that any good sport flyer will be able to expe-
rience the thrill of true unlimited aerobatics with his GOLDBERG SUKHOI. IMPORTANT: When selecting a power
plant for your SU-26, do not put in a larger-than-recommended engine. This will cause undo stress to the airframe
and may result in structural failure. Remember, a bigger engine does not necessarily mean better performance.
WARNING! THIS IS NOT A TOY!
A radio-controlled model is not a toy and is not intended for persons under 16 years old. Keep this kit out of the
reach of younger children, as it contains parts that could be dangerous. A radio-controlled model is capable of caus-
ing serious bodily injury and property damage. It is the buyer's responsibility to build this kit correctly and to proper-
ly install the motor, radio, and all other equipment. Test and fly the finished model only in the presence and with the

common sense, as well as in accordance with the safety standards of the Academy of Model Aeronautics (5151

prior to flying this model. Also, consult with the AMA or your local hobby dealer to find an experienced instructor in
your area. Per the Federal Communications Commission, you are required to use only those radio frequencies spec-
ified "for Model Aircraft."
