Impressive in size and looks, the Performance Series SU-31 ARF excels at demanding IMAC/IMAA
competition aerobatics and traditional sport flying! Great Planes’ expert engineering and
construction provides the lightweight strength needed for high-stress 3D maneuvers — and
assembling the factory-built components takes as little as 20-25 hours. Whether at the local field or
in competition, the SU-31 ARF performs with crowd-pleasing precision and grace.

Assembling the SU-31's factory-built components takes as little as
20-25 hours — no time at all for a model this size. Replacement
parts are available so you can keep your model in peak flying form.
The turtle deck and fuselage bottom are constructed of a precisely
sculpted foam shell that's reinforced with balsa sheeting, adding
strength and great looks to this stellar performer.

Airfoiled tail surfaces (instead of flat surfaces offered by other large
scale model manufacturers) provide excellent control response and
superior aerobatic maneuvering at all speeds, and in all flight attitudes.
An ideal glow engine match is the O.S.® 1.60 FX 2-stroke, which
has also been successfully tested in the model. It helps maximize
the SU-31's potential by keeping weight low while supplying
excellent power.
For gasoline engine power, Great Planes' gives the Fuji-Imvac™ BT-
43EI-2 the "thumbs up". It has been extensively tested in the SU-31
and passed with flying colors. The engine's electronic ignition
system offers easy starts and reduces weight and vibration.
Simple and direct connection from the servo to the control
surface provides easy set-up and precision control.
Removing the canopy provides easy access to the on-board radio
gear, fuel tank and the thumb screws used to secure the wing panels.
Easy to assemble, the one-piece wing bolts directly to the fuselage.
This helps minimize weight by avoiding the need for the extra
structure required when using an aluminum wing joiner tube.
Mild or wild, the Performance Series SU-31 ARF can do it all. With
maximum control surface throw, 3D performance is ready and waiting.
The SU-31’s tail gangs two rudder servos in a pull/pull set-up that
increases control precision. It’s one of numerous design elements
that combine to give this model the ability to execute any current 3D
maneuver to perfection.
The included lightweight and easy to install tailwheel assembly
provides positive ground handling.
The beautifully finished cowl, wheel pants and aluminum landing gear
complete the great looks of this outstanding performer. The included
high quality aluminum spinner makes this model more complete than
other models of similar size.
From any angle, the Performance Series 1.60-43 cc SU-31 ARF
will stand out, in the pits and in the air. The attractive, multi-color
trim scheme is expertly applied- this scheme on the top and
bottom of the aircraft leaves no doubt when it's inverted or upright.
---Features an ideal balance of low weight and high structural integrity.
---All-wood construction with painted fiberglass cowl and wheel pants.
---Includes complete, custom-designed hardware package.
