for last weeks
Parkzone SU-26M
I bought one of these last week, great value at £44, cheaper than
buying the receiver and extra servo The AR6400 RX that is fitted is over £40
It flew OK outside but was knocked about a lot by the wind. Flies
great inside but is a little fast, loops rolls and inverted are all
easy with this model

* Overall Length: 14.25 in (366mm)
* Flying Weight: 1.1 oz (34g)
* Radio: Spektrum AR6400 receiver (installed)
* Required transmitter: 5+ channel 2.4GHz transmitter with Spektrum DSM2
* Charger: DC single-cell for Li-Po batteries

The Suhkoi with its diminutive size and pre-installed 2.4Ghz DSM2
radio system can be flown with ease in any suitable indoor space and
offers pilots the opportunity to try their hand at a different type of
aerobatic flying aside from the popular 3D style that is prevalent
today.
