magnificent RC Su-27

[leafer]

My God...I was searching for RC jet and voila! God bless the Internet.

 

 

After watching that I had to find out more and here is the construction log of that beast.

I'm pretty sure something this cool didn't go undetected by the community, but just in case some of you didn't know it exists...

Looks great but no shots of it flying

Yeah, on the last page the author says that it is going under flight licensing here in Germany. You are not allowed to fly that thing without valid technical testing and approving by some officials

A truly amazing piece of work.

Am I right in thinking this aircraft isn't intended to fly, I can't see anywhere on the website that says he intends to get it airborne and I would find it incredible he would risk 6 years work to do this.

 

His last sentence:

Bis auf ein paar wenige Details ist das Modell nun fertig und auch komplett ausgerьstet.

 

Als nдchstes steht dann das Zulassungsverfahren, welches ich mit Walter Spannagel durchfьhren werde, ins Haus.

Translation:

'Up to a very few details the model is now finished and fully equipped.

The next step will be the procedure of admission(or approval procedure), which I will accomplish with Walter Spannagel.'

 

Explanation:

When you want to get something over 25kg (don't nail me at this number) in the air you have to make a procedure of admission/approval procedure in Germany. This includes a full stress test to the fuselage and also a proof of save and controlled flight. Its almost the same approval you have to do if you have built you own ultra light plane and want to fly it in normal air traffic.

In other words :It will fly.

And another thing is certain as well: It will crash some day, lets hope there will be enough video and photo material before it does so, and as much of it possible from when it does. It's a damn great model, but it's unique, so it will either fly safely and end up in som private collection, or it will be a burning heap of wood and metal.

Your are a such a pessimist!

(Russian saying: 'a well informed optimist is a pessimist')

I hope I will it see it many times at various shows !

First person flying (onboard camera controlled by head movement) with that aircraft must be awesome...

This has been posted on the Lock On forum quite a while ago.. This guy has done some amazing work here..

 

And it was brought out that the builder intends to actually put this into production, and what were seeing here is the first prototype. I should hope that his idea pays off, as it looks like this is all that he's doing :music_whistling:

I just want to know when is the maiden flight. I bet one engine costs as much as a high-end pc. Best of luck to him, though.
