you know what, when I was 11 years old, I watch your videos. Now, I'm an engineer and I now understand what you're talking about. You kinda helped me back then choosing my career.
I still keep coming back to this video so many years later. You have done so much for the viability of the scratch built foamie aspect of the flying rc hobby. Rc test flight is what it is because of the work you've done. Amazing.
Same here... I used to watch this video when I was younger and I was in awe... Wonder what happened to Dave... His designs were top notch for scratch builds
Wonder why this guy never try to make a kit to copy this particular model! in all & all, this is perhaps one of the mos iconic and best known videos that actually portrait his knowledge and engineering skills!
We miss you, bro! I started scratch-building years ago because of you. It's too bad you don't still enjoy the hobby with us. Such a shame. Maybe one day you will come back with Alien technology.
Coming from an aerospace engineer currently working on Bombarbier C series, good work. Maybe just the dorsal fins being a little too long when they could take less weight and space with pointy ends and still achieve the same effect. Could you tell me the total power your motors can achieve please? You definitely achieved an impressive weight / power ratio. Remember tho, plane landings are ridiculously simple, try to almost equalize the weight falling with your portability and leave the thrust forward be transfered in heat and friction from the plane to your landing gear. I see you slow your RC when all you need is to make him lift 99% of his weight right before he touches the ground, all the forward speed will be lost in friction and heat.
f'n amazing.. u brought a pos foam board to a completely asthetic amusing plane that can do what hardly anything else can do. ive seen a lot of rc planes, and none have attracted me like this. especially seeing you start from scratch, and build it into a masterpiece.
Dude, you must be the grandson of Gary Powers. On the other hand, if Gary Powers had a plane designed the way you build your models, he'd never got shot down over Russia in the first place. Awesome stuff.
Mad props to you man, understanding flight capability's and how to customize a plane like that to your standards is very impressive. You should work for NASA or something, i wish i had the knowledge to do something as awsome as what your doing.
Outstanding video documentary on your flight trials and exhibiting your genius, envisioning a resolve to a very interesting, gyroscopic compensation mechanisms. You are a techno-top gun! Keep up the truly rockin' videos and progress on your project. I'll certainly be watching. -- a helo and boat rc enthusiast.
nice work man. this really impresses me. I'm into RC planes(not nearly as advanced) as well and I on my first foamy. I desided to do it out of just foam board to keep the cost down. I also tried balsa wood however I didn't make the control surfaces large enough... Over all, awesome plane. good luck on the final tweaks. And thanks for the link
OUTSTANDING! Was the aim to build an SU37, or did you make any changes from that general design? Like, if you extended the fuselage & nose would it be less tail heavy (ala an F18)?
@thestalkerman123 He does have a life. His life revolves around making cool toy planes and entertaining people. Your life, on the other hand, revolves around watching other people do things and criticising them for it... I hope you're happy with that.
Really cool. It doesn't seem like the gyros would have any effect during high alpha though. After all, there's almost no air going over the control surfaces, perhaps if effects the thrust vectoring the most. I'm curious why you didn't use ducted fans.
Do remember that the real jets are flown on compeer controlled stabilisation as they just don't like flying you did a good a job getting it to fly without your gyros
Unlike EDFs, props give the plane close to instant acceleration, which is important to maintain a hover. EDFs simply aren't efficient enough to give adequate acceleration.
how did you get the gyros to work in slow time at full rate there was no juddering or anything ive got your course but there is nothing in there about how you created this setup great flying now i wanna do something similar please give me some feed back for the mixes and gyro setup thanks
Dave means "park-jet", not "turbine". Just a park flyer that looks like a jet airplane. And it's actally 2x props at the back, not ducted fan. An EDF wold have a hard time being that maneuverable.
All your videos are great! I love how you guys come up with your own designs and concepts! I would like to build one of your designs like the F-22 or F1 Hydro but I don't know which would be right for me. I'm willing to take on a project and finish it successfully and I have some experience with RC vehicles. What would you recommend for me?
I do believe your RC is losing a hell lot of roll stability from the fact underneath your plane the wires aren't covered with fairings or anything. I believe also if you used the whole intra and extrado of the plane's main wing to create your lift as you go forward you could remove the actual front flaps that create your lift when you trespass the usual stall angle. I'd create a controllable leading edge to replace those flaps (It will let you control the high powered air canals easier. You then use those high powered air canals to direct them at your dorsal fins, which will increase the effectiveness of them by a RIDICULOUS amont since your wings steals all the upcoming air to them when you fly it almost perpendicular to the ground. Still I am amazed, you really got an awesome weight / power ratio and decent aerodynamic properties for a RC. Excuse my poor english I am a french native from Québec, Canada.
@masster64 One very important thing in dogfights, even as recent as those in Desert Storm, is low speed maneuverability. Being able to do high alpha is proof you will do well there.
Hello, i've got a heli, but i've got a little problem with it. It has not enough power to fly now, they say it lies on the rotors, and spinning wheels. do you have a suggestion? regards, Joost from the netherlands

reilordi bob a typical 3S PU spinning a 6x4 prop produces about 1.3 kg of thrust, he has two so that makes it 2.6 kg
f'n amazing.. u brought a pos foam board to a completely asthetic amusing plane that can do what hardly anything else can do. ive seen a lot of rc planes, and none have attracted me like this. especially seeing you start from scratch, and build it into a masterpiece.
i am amazed at how much work and dedication u need ... hats off !
Your girlfriend is so cool! You are so lucky. My wife would be so "meh whatever"! :)
Exactly... she go like "Nerds Grow up"
Man, this is really amazing. I can't even imagine how you programmed it to do such thing. Oh man..
What a great vid, black and white regards the Gyro. I'm loving your co-pilot's input too, she adds a great dimension to the tube.
Dude, you must be the grandson of Gary Powers. On the other hand, if Gary Powers had a plane designed the way you build your models, he'd never got shot down over Russia in the first place. Awesome stuff.
This guy is the love child of the professor from 'Back to the Future" ....good work champ!

How's that ego doing??
that is an amazing model. talk about putting education to good use. looks like a blast to fly and maneuver
you blow me away dude, this is truly an epic effort.
You know so much about this stuff! Very interesting. I'm still zipping my Nine Eagle Sky Eagle about!

"Get outta our air space!" My favorite part :P
Real nice and what I like too is the fact that you have your girl on board,good luck man
Really cool! the shape reminds me of the classic movie FIREFOX
Very very very nice work! Love the support from camera-woman :)
Really impressive, man. U have my full respect.

Man you are soooooo talented. You should really be working for the government.
Cool plane can't believe you built it your self
Looks like the new MIG-39. They have thrust nozzle vectoring. Not too bad for doing it the hard way. It takes longer but you learn more.
AMAZING WHAT U CAN DO WITH GOOD SKILZ AND TIME....JAY...NYC
It would be awesome to see how it flies regularly and fast and then go into a high alpha , recover and fly out.
Great vid!! Very informative and intertaning. As a pilot and RC rookie, i'll be looking for more.
Nice job man . Almost as cool as the Real Sukhoi . Impressive !
never flown or built RC planes. But that is awesome!
most awesome flying i ever watched... awesome video.... more power...
i love that su-33 and 37 flankers
OUTSTANDING! Was the aim to build an SU37, or did you make any changes from that general design? Like, if you extended the fuselage & nose would it be less tail heavy (ala an F18)?
Even though I hate caps lock, I still gave a thumbs up.
i watched this 2 years ago and came across it again, you're a cool creative dude. :) Are you still busy with this rc?

Love it
Programming and calculating the proper surface area for all controls surfaces most have been a handful to say the least D:
that is a really sweet plane you should make one that can do a strait vertical high alpha 360 that would definately be impressive
Thats incredable! when is it going into production?
P.S.S. with respect. Good Job!
.......And I would also like to see the lady behind the camera. :)
Really cool. It doesn't seem like the gyros would have any effect during high alpha though. After all, there's almost no air going over the control surfaces, perhaps if effects the thrust vectoring the most. I'm curious why you didn't use ducted fans.
Oh yea...i have telepathic jet..so there! Nice plane man!
Do remember that the real jets are flown on compeer controlled stabilisation as they just don't like flying you did a good a job getting it to fly without your gyros
Wow. Very cool and nice work!
Ever thought about channel wings as an interesting way the keep the wing from stalling at high angles of attack?
We recently put an article on our website about this kind of stuff.
that's pretty badass bro. great mods
why not attach propellers into the gyro stabilizers wings? wouldn't that just give more push to hold it vertically?
fantastic job!!! I like!!!
"I could put the controller down and go get a sandwich"
"Could you get me one too?"
Unlike EDFs, props give the plane close to instant acceleration, which is important to maintain a hover. EDFs simply aren't efficient enough to give adequate acceleration.
Super cool man! I am very impressed
how did you get the gyros to work in slow time at full rate there was no juddering or anything ive got your course but there is nothing in there about how you created this setup
great flying now i wanna do something similar please give me some feed back for the mixes and gyro setup
thanks
Excellent effort and very informative.
I enjoyed your video, thanks.
Dave means "park-jet", not "turbine". Just a park flyer that looks like a jet airplane. And it's actally 2x props at the back, not ducted fan. An EDF wold have a hard time being that maneuverable.
Wow that is a thing and a half love it
what effect do the controll surfaces have if there is very little air flowing over them when the plane in almost vertically hovering like that
So,
the "Gyro" means a g-sensor in a microcontroller such that improve stabilization correcting the front ailerons?
that's amazing! what gyro did u use? Simple PG-03 or heading hold ones like the 401?
Man you don't even have to do the TakeOff process, you just throw it away and it flies perfectly,
Nice work!
All your videos are great! I love how you guys come up with your own designs and concepts!

That was all skill without the gyro's!! Way to go.
Awesome Job Mate
now that the 3d printers are getting affordable day by day .. designing part should take less time.

This plane looks like Firefox. The Clint Eastwood movie from the 80s.
Cool Video.. Nice work
lol a cobra with a rc nice job man :D
Nice plane!
@masster64 One very important thing in dogfights, even as recent as those in Desert Storm, is low speed maneuverability. Being able to do high alpha is proof you will do well there.
you should put some landing gear on your plains it will save the paint haha ^_^
I want a Jet made from the Schematic of this once the thing is Finished.
Cool Vid! Great design! Awesome how your GF is really into your hobby. She's a keeper! LOL!
Would love to see if he still has this plane
looks like the most advanced mig, it can actually do that :D
Hey!, 2:35 that was my RC Helicopter! lol
Try doing a full Kulbit with that.
Really good job! I could use a sandwich too...
Good Job!
wish i had the motivation to learn how to do stuff like this since i dont ill take a sandwich and watch more videos =D
gotta take time to do all that job
"get out of our airspace" lol.
Found this from objectvie personality
I was thinking of doing the same thing to my heli with extra gryos what you did was really good.
Ok lets eat.
all those other designs you tried and it ended up looking like a Sukhoi
well, have you seen what the SU-35 can do? i mean, if your gonna copy someone, copy the Russians
if you sell this dose it come with everthing, excpt the remote and thigns like all the servos and that stuff?
i love the comments from the female, "YAY"
did u come up with the electronic schematics for the gyros !!
Hello, i've got a heli, but i've got a little problem with it. It has not enough power to fly now, they say it lies on the rotors, and spinning wheels. do you have a suggestion?
regards, Joost from the netherlands
If you want one so bad you're gonna throw a fit just get one.. lol
"OK, so I've plugged the gyros back in. What the?"
real Yukikaze!! Awsome!
I wanna see you make a plane that can take off and land without you throwing it you mess with some kind of landing gear yet?
bassmaster "NOW WOULD U LOOK AT THAT HHUHHUHH"
Please release the plans I love it
EXCELLENT !!!
VTOL engaged~
