How on earth did the pilot not see the sink rate on the aircraft on final approach? Saved it but that was too close for comfort. Live to fly another day.
Weston Park runway has a interesting runway setup as it has a negative elevation change from Left to right so your perspective used to gauge general height and distance, can go somewhat sideways when you dip below the treeline, like on final approach
Absolutely! The Flanker family (SU-27 and SU-30) are some of the most recognizable and beautiful fighters ever built. Those swept wings and canards are just incredible for maneuverability.
Some outstandingly skilful model flying on display here. What a thing ! How many man-hours does it take to make such an awesome replica (not counting the years of experience required)?
Thanks for noticing! The parachute can indeed create drag, counteracting the forward thrust of the jets. It's a delicate balance that pilots have to manage.
"Great eye! I was a little worried about a close call at 8:13, but the plane seems to have come out unscathed. These RC planes are tougher than they look!"
These are great flying jets. The chute will not work properly unless packed the correct way. I have had ZERO faulty chute deployments on my dual chute setup on my SU-30. Needs to be packed a certain way.
That's awesome! Building and customizing RC models is a great part of the hobby. If you'd like to share yours, consider posting a picture or video in the comments!
I believe a switch may have been inadvertently trigger on final approach there which normally reposition the controls surfaces ready for a high alpha maneuver, fortunately he caught it just in time

At a go around airbrakes should be retracted and the approaches are very bad controlled. Nice model in hands of of an insecure pilot. He should exercise with beginner models. This jet is a real danger in hands of beginners.
@avronaut Appreciate your input bud, just just to clarify the use of the Air brake you noted during go around and on landing is intentional, the model is designed to be super slippery even more so than the full size aircraft its based on (hence why its flying without the aid of several computers to assist with the flyby wire) Its thanks to this design that the model is one of the best jet scale models that can achieve a true High Alpha flight posture in the air.... On the other side of this coin however is the fact that all that design for superb flight characteristics makes it .. "Interesting" to land so the air brake is permanently deployed to act and a stabilizing force Hope this all makes sense
@@Bravo303 yes I know yet all of today airplanes are mostly turbofans, developed in the early 60 for more efficency on fuel to fly but they need double concentric shafts. . Some guys or company must be at it already. . 😉 .With turbofan, fuell SFC went fro, .6 something to the actual .4. .or better. .
A turbo fan would certainly be interesting for scale accuracy but I don’t think fuel efficiency would be a high priority as such… most pilots (myself included) are pretty mentally wiped after flying a jet for 6 to 14 minutes particularly at public shows where you need to be at your best to show the best attributes of the model
That's a great point, and starting with a less expensive model is a common way to learn the ropes. However, experienced pilots can also make the occasional misjudgment, especially with high-performance aircraft like the SU30. I can assure you this pilot has the skills to handle this jet safely.
Well there is something to be said of the massive cost difference between full size and model versions, Not too mention when you want to talk about the more notable air frames of our history most of the Full size examples are now grounded and unable to take to the skies
@@Bravo303 I'm not talking about the size-cost comparison. I'm talking about the loss rate of the russian airforce comparing that to the ever-increasing numbers of large-scale models. Sooner or later we'll find that, just like the many models of Spitfires around, there will be more models of the SU30 than the real thing. BTW, are you American?
Haha, well those ad blockers do come in handy! But hey, those pesky ads are how some creators, like myself, afford to travel to amazing airshows like Weston Park. Maybe next time you see an ad, think of it as a virtual tip jar for bringing you free RC jet spectacles!
Thanks for pointing that out! You're absolutely correct, there seems to have been a mistake during assembly in this video. I'll definitely double-check for accuracy in future flights.
@@Bravo303What is wrong with the origins? Don't let me get into US history now. If it were junk, why did @makskk6spm275 waste his time watching? Why not just focus on the supreme craftsmanship and flying technique of the owner of this plane?
@justanotherguy469 No offence intended bud and I may of been a bit vague in my response, I was less referring to the origins of the specific aircraft (As in the Sukhoi manufacturing) and more referring to the ... shall we say Geo-political links that the aircraft infers
@@Bravo303Thank you for the explanation. My love for the hobby comes from the ability it gives us to escape the politics of the era, and instead appreciate the ability of the human mind at miniaturization. I built a Stuka Dive Bomber and my neighbour took offence. I cannot stand virtue signalling.

Literally 1/2 a second from destruction.

Very Very close, glad it was a save
i think it was more a wind change off of the nearby trees
@@weasel3720 not the wind, was a pilot error
What a Fantastic Scale Model Jet, 👍.
Indeed it is!
Holly Mother of God....what a masterpiece.....MASTERPIECE❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you, Glad you enjoyed it!
Incredible model! ...and woohoo thank God for a very effective Elevator on landing!
Absolutely! That elevator came in clutch. Thanks for watching!
Great Video Nice SU30 Jet, amazing show and flight absolutely outstanding
I'm glad you enjoyed it! The SU30 is a fantastic aircraft.
Awesome looking plane!
It sure is!
Amazingly stable flying slow with high angle of attack!
Indeed! It's incredible how these models can handle such maneuvers. Thanks for watching!
Beautiful model! Thank you!
You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed seeing the SU30 in action.
BRAVO… building and flying!
Awesome, thanks! Building and flying these jets is a labor of love.
SU-27 and 30 are flat out gorgeous fighter designs.

Hace más mismas acrobacias de un avion real... Felicidades quien fabrico este modelo a escala...
8:13 Damaged ??

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasum !! Majestic !!

Fantastic Flying skills!
Thank you! Cheers!
He almost bought the farm! Sloppy flying.
Agreed
Close call indeed! Every flight is a learning opportunity. Thanks for tuning in!

Really glad you enjoyed the video
i have made something similar to this only that i made it fire its missiles.

wow
Wow" is right! These RC jets are incredible machines.
So this is like $25K+?
Ha! Let's just say they aren't exactly impulse buys. But hey, for the performance you get, it can be worth it for some serious RC enthusiasts!
that was squeeky bum time
No kidding!
I think the pilot left something in his pants after that landing
Haha, maybe a little! Landings can be nerve-wracking, especially with a jet this size.
Great jet but the pilot needs to go back to a sig kadet and learn to fly, he got lucky on that landing!
I believe a switch may have been inadvertently trigger on final approach there which normally reposition the controls surfaces ready for a high alpha maneuver, fortunately he caught it just in time
Puttie almost augered in !!!!
Close call indeed! Thanks for watching!
Almost ouch - lol
Close call indeed! 😄 It's all part of the thrill of flying these magnificent jets. Thanks for watching and enjoying the show with us!
That parachute deployed like a turd 😂

Nearly met god.

The bigger the rc model the smaller the johnson of the owner 😂😂😂
Haha, well, I guess it's all about compensating for something, right? 😄 Thanks for the laugh and for watching the video!
@@Bravo303 well I that’s my story 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Haha Were all compensating for something 😂
Turbo fans soon ? ?
That's a great question! Turbine jets are amazing, but they're also quite complex.

Should learn on a cheap model before flying this beauty

No worries, pilot is a good friend so im sure it will make for some interesting conversion
Beautiful model, but it's extremely nose heavy and poorly piloted...
