Thinking of retiring your sad and battered MS Composit aerobat or just looking for a compact durable 3D machine? Then maybe the Telink SU29 is the one to consider. This is the latest Telink SU29 that is supplied in a striking yellow and black scheme that really pops – no iffy faded effects here or hours required to add the graphics sheet.
Performance is every thing you have grown to expect from Telink and the model can be flown to maximum effect with a 370 size brushless and small 3S Li-Po. Styled on the twin seat SU29 ensures that the fuselage with its large canopy area has a deep side profile to assist in knife edge manoeuvres. Resisting the temptation to add unecessary extra reinforcement and keeping the weight reduced will result in a great flyer. We would recommend this model to flyers with experience.
As with all Telink models the SU29 is manufactured from EPP throughout, with not an ounce of depron in site. This is real EPP foam, not the cheaper large bubble type that is claimed to be like EPP so it’s extremely tough and very resilient to regular hard arrivals. If the foam does tear or a chunk breaks off repair is simple and quick with some normal CA adhesive and a mist of kicker.
Construction is quick and simple. All small hardware is included such as wire pushrods, grp motor mount, hinges, ply undercarriage plates, piano wire undercarriage and lightweight spoke foam wheels. The wing and fuselage is braced with the popular Czech method of CA soaked string that works perfectly and is highly recommended so long as the model is not laden with a heavy battery and excessive motor. The kit even includes a rounded section of EPP to run over the canopy section to provide a less profile look. As with all kits that require assembly tools, adhesive and further items will be required to complete the model.
The model has been designed for a single 9g servo aileron. Remember to add differential to the servo arm. To avoid the risk of tip stalling we would also suggest that a cut-out is formed in the fuselage to accommodate the Li-Po. For users of computer radios you could contemplate a twin servo installation for maximum aileron control. Please note that the photo illustrated manual does NOT show this installation and it would require the modeller’s skill and experience to instigate this modification.

Required radio and servo type:
A minimum of a 4 channel radio, preferably at least 5 channel with mixing ability for aileron differential or flaperon if twin aileron servo are utilised. We would highly recommend that a 2.4GHz radio is utilised for effective interference rejection.
4-5 channel micro receiver.
3 x micro 9g servos for standard installation (TowerPro SG91R or similar).
4 x micro 9g servos for twin aileron installation (TowerPro SG91R or similar).
