FB Su-27
DISCLAIMER:
THIS IS NOT A TOY. This is a high-performance
miniature aircraft, capable of high speeds and damage to
life, limb, and property. The manufacturer and its
distributors cannot control how you assemble this model,
what equipment you use to fit it out, or how you fly it, and
can assume no liability whatsoever for any damages that
may occur when you fly your aircraft. By assembling this
model, you are agreeing to indemnify and hold blameless
the manufacturer and/or his agents from any and all torts
and liability associated with the use of this product.
Please inspect all parts before beginning assembly. If
any parts appear to be suspect, contact your dealer or the
manufacturer for repair or replacement BEFORE you
begin. Once you have assembled the aircraft, you are
the pilot in command and assume any and all
responsibility for the use of the model and any damages
that might occur by flying or attempting to fly this aircraft.
R/C model jets require a high level of skill in both their
assembly and their flying. If you do not feel confident in
either your building or flying skills, PLEASE seek
assistance from more experienced modelers. It is a wise
idea, no matter what level of skills you possess, to have a
second experienced modeler go over your installation
after assembly. A second set of eyes may spot a problem
you have missed. If you have not flown a model like this
before, it is HIGHLY recommended that you get an
experienced turbine pilot to do your maiden flight. Very
often, the first few seconds of a maiden flight are critical
until the aircraft is trimmed out, and having an
experienced pilot at the controls can make the difference
between a wrecked aircraft and once that enjoys many
hundreds of flights. Be sure to select a suitable field for
flying...take the time to find a large paved runway if at all
possible, especially for test flights, until you feel
comfortable getting the aircraft in and out of smaller grass
fields.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN:
Keep this in mind as you proceed:
Look at EVERY assembly step you finish, and ask
yourself:
"Is this going to crash my airplane?"
A chain is only as strong as its weakest link, and this is a
high-performance aircraft that will be very intolerant of
sloppy assembly techniques. Even the smallest
component is important and can cause the loss of your

- Page 6 FB Su-27 The receiver may also be installed on this board. As the three main gear all retract forward, you may wish to provide more air to each unit. To accomplish this, set up the nose gear on one air valve designed for large scale aircraft and supply air to the mains from a second, separate valve.
- Page 7 FB Su-27 Horizontal Stabilizers Using a Matchmaker or receiver and transmitter, center both horizontal stab servos. Install the servo arms such that they are matched as closely as possible for both servos. Option: for added security, use metal servo arms for this application. If you use a tapped...
- Page 8 FB Su-27 Using a cutter, open up a small hatch above the servo opening on the upper rudder mount platform in order to access the servo arm. See photo. Make up two servo linkages of exactly the same length. Install linkages on to the servo arms and bearing box control arms.
- Page 9 FB Su-27 Vertical Stabs and Rudders Begin by gluing rudders into vertical stabs as follows: fill the hinge point holes in one vertical stab with a generous amount of Aeropoxy. Insert rudder. Install vertical stab into the fuselage and temporarily tighten mounting bolts.
- Page 10 FB Su-27 Open up the slot in the rudder with a small cutter and Dremel tool for the control horn. Be very careful not to cut through the rudder as you enlarge the slot. Optional: paint the control horn to match your color scheme.
- Page 11 FB Su-27 Wings Fill the hinge point holes in the flap leading edge with a generous amount of Aeropoxy. Insert the flaps and press forward to the point that you achieve approximately 45 degrees of throw. As you did with the Elevator and Rudder servos, find center and install servo arms in horizontally opposing locations.

- Page 14 FB Su-27 Position the engine on the mounting rails. If need be, make a supplemental mounting plate if the engine tabs do not completely span the gap between the rails. Confirm that the engine to pipe clearance is set at manufacturers specifications, drill and bolt the engine to the rails.
- Page 15 FB Su-27 Cut a valve/pump mounting plate out of scrap ply, approximately 2 inches wide by 6 inches long. Mount components as shown in the photo. Make a mirror image arrangement for the other side. Using velcro, temporarily position plates in the wheel bay, making sure that there is adequate clearance when the main retracts.
- Page 16 FB Su-27 Temporarily position the intakes in place to make sure you have clearance. See photo. Once everything is in place to your satisfaction, mark the pickup and vent fixture positions. Remove the tanks, plumb, leak check and reinstall. Drill fuse for vents and plumb. See photo.
- Page 17 FB Su-27 If you are using UATs, it is recommended that they be positioned in the forward fuse, flanking the nose gear cylinder. Make a platform as shown in the photo and affix to the forward former with a large piece of industrial velcro.
- Page 18 FB Su-27 The ECU batteries fit nicely into the pockets on either side of the forward main tank. Wrap them in foam and insert, padding with extra foam as needed. Watch wiring and air lines. Install and plumb main tanks, running pickup from aux tanks to the vents of the mains, and the pickups from the mains to the UATs.
