FIRST PARAGRAPHS OF PLAN ARTICLE APPEARING IN RC MODEL WORLD MAGAZINE :
Following the success of the Sukhoi 26 in the 1986 World Aerobatics Championships, many modellers have seemingly revelled in the proven capabilities of the type, almost to the point that ‘PROTEUS PETROL’ has become a wing mounted cliche. Of course, since then there has been a number of developments of the SU-26, and I first saw the full-size Sukhoi 32 performing a rather tentative display at ‘Woodspring Wings 95’. Described as ‘the most aerobatic aircraft in the world’ and with the greatest power to weight ratio ever seen from piston power, it occurred to me that it probably wouldn’t be too long before this version too would be modelled.
10 days later the finished airframe adorned my bench!
This model was not only inspired by its big brother, but also by a delightful little SU-26 flown ‘off the peg’ on the Saturday evening by Geoff Wells (from an American plan), which amply proved that full-house is still feasible in even I/2A size packages. I lowever, whilst I have toughened and simplified the construction of the SU-32, 1 must stress that it is only very semi-scale, as all I had to go on were the photographs I took during the display!
