ParkZone Sukhoi Review and Transmitter Setup

Here is a new airplane that many of us have been waiting anxiously to arrive. This micro flyer introduces a new level of performance to these tiny models. Since it is only available as a Bind n Fly model the pilot will have to provide their own DSM2 transmitter. Everything else is included in the carry box. Assembly only requires that you slip the landing gear in place. It actually takes longer to put the batteries in the charger. Binding the model to your transmitter is very easy as you will see in our video. The aircraft uses throttle, aileron, elevator and rudder control. An installed Spektrum AR6400 receiver is actually a 6 channel unit with integrated esc, elevator and rudder servos all on the receiver board. The ailerons have a separate servo. Our video review will outline the features and setup for the micro Sukhoi, we think you will learn a few things when you watch it. Youre going to be surprised when you make that first take off. Tiny models like this require a bit different setup than is common to larger aircraft so the following transmitter settings will make sure you have an uneventful first flight. *Futaba transmitters using Spektrum modules will use negative exponential settings. Sukhoi Transmitter Setup The Setup for your first flight, you can fine tune for your own skills after the first flight. Best TX - DX6i, DX7, X9303 1) Select a new model memory and do a reset to make sure all settings are clear 2) Set all reverse switches to Normal (Spektrum and JR TX) 3) Dual Rates: These are very important! Elevator High rate 100% with 50% EXPO Elevator Low rate 70% with 30% EXPO Aileron High rate 100% with 50% EXPO Aileron Low rate 60% with 50% EXPO 4) Use Sub Trim to adjust all control surfaces to neutral 5) Place the flight battery in the REAR most position (yes that's right) 6) USE LOW RATE on the first flight!! Living rooms are not big enough for first flights, again we suggest outdoors with calm conditions for your first flight.
