CE_Mikemonster Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Some of you may have seen this, it's a flying scale replica of the Flanker. I'm left speechless by the amount of time, effort and professional workmanship that's gone into it! The makers name is Harald Huf, and he is an incredible man, I think you'll all agree!(http://www.su27.de/meineperson.htm) http://www.su27.de/seite1.htm The wooden frame that you see (eventually coated with individually cut, shaped and marked aluminium panels) is only a mould for a later composite shell! Video demonstrating the hydraulics: http://www.su27.de/Fahrwerkclip.avi First 'rollout' (real eye-opener) http://www.su27.de/seite73.htm You'll all love the colour scheme that follows in the next few pages (76-79). 'Finished' [my words] product: http://www.su27.de/jetpower2007.htm Flight video (skip to 3.30 if you can't wait to hear it's engines! 4.05 is takeoff.) http://harald.phpb002.de/SU27_maiden_clip1.wmv If this isn't the appropriate place to post i'm sorry, please delete. Thought some fans of the aircraft would enjoy the flight video/attention to detail. Too many cowboys. Not enough indians. GO APE SH*T
LtFransky Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 That is really cool. I've seen the video before but not the construction photos. It's shockingly close to the real thing once it's airborne. Ours is not to reason why, but rather to do and die. A man walks into a zoo. The only animal in the entire zoo is a dog. It's a shitzu
