Home Made Sukhoi Su-27 RC Jet Takes Flight

@ 2010/02/19
This no model, but a fully functioning RC jet. The Sukhoi Su-27 was the Soviet Union’s counterpart of the F15 and this 1/6.5 scaled version measures eleven feet long and is fully controllable. As if the 80-page build log wasn’t enough, the flight video after the break is nothing short of jaw-dropping. The test flights end in smooth landings but with all the time that went into the project that’s got to be nerve-wracking.

Nothing special. Still nice to see as it's my favorite plane (and way better than the F15 ).
If I ever quit OC'ing, I'll go back to RC building (maybe finally finish my FW-190 D9).
