XXXL RC SUKHOI Su-27 UB - MAIDEN FLIGHT

The idea of building this large RC model came about almost exactly three years ago. Now it was time to get it in the air.
The plan was to get both fighters into the air, but unfortunately Kurt Schweinitz's fighter had some technical problems and therefore had to stay on the ground for safety reasons.

Sukhoi fighters fly rings around most other makes and hold world records for climb rates to 60, 000 feet. The specs for these large, heavy models are impressive, especially with their dual 500N turbines—just amazing!

Beautiful builds. 330 lbs.! That's a lot of weight but it sure flew gracefully. Perfect camera work, Horst!

Bravo to the builder, it's called Perfection !
One of your most beautiful videos my friend.

Great job flying it scale like. I love SUES coz I fly one too, same paint scheme.
Your post landing rollout n turn at the end looked like real to me !!! Ohhhh, I bet the airliner with vapour trail shown midflight was worried about getting intercepted !!!
Hope more flights ahead for you buddy. Expat Canuck living in Thailand.

That looks like a full scale aircraft at 8:55. Very nice cinematography.👏👏👏👏

[JonBecker]

That’s awesome! It sounds like one of the loudest RC jets I’ve heard. It needs afterburners!

[nafizmohammed]

It looks damn gorgeous and meticulously detailed piece of rc plane

[ChrisB]

Impressive!!! What a superb build and, thank goodness, a safe and super maiden flight. Not sure I'd have had the courage to make that first flight - didn't even seem to need all that much trimming so excellent preparation. Much relief with a good safe landing.
Very impressive footage Horst. :)

MEGA Respekt an die Jungs, die Eier musst erstmal haben!! Grandioses Modell, Projekte wie diese versetzen die Messlatte immer weiter, Glückwunsch! PS: Horst, perfektes Video - vor allem die flachen Winkel beim Rausrollen!
