Horizon Hobby - Su-30 Twin 70mm - Unbox, Build, Radio Setup, & Maiden Flights 

Awesome! Works for me ;) Thanks!!!!

We're going to investigate it if stock ever comes in ;)

LOL - Plus, No Tom Cruise!!! - LOL

Glad to help! We're glad you come here to help you make your decision. Thank you Gavin!

More to come! ;)

Thank you!!! Wish this bird lived a bit longer, but she has since passed away in a speedy, dramatic fashion - I'll let you guess how ;)

I've built a tree house. Sooner or later my birds will come home to roost with me!

Good luck! I assume you're talking about the SU-27 (not this, the SU-30)...correct?

@BrianPhillipsRC su30. Wasn't meant to be haha we got ot our ranch andddd forgot the remote but trying again tomorrow. Have you tried this plane on flaperons?

Thanks! It was a pretty good landing, but this plane does so good on grass, the driveway isn't totally necessary. I love the way this plane flies. It's got the power that the 80mm F-18 Blue Angles seemed to lack. The twin 70mm's is a great power plant!

It is very cool!

Hope to pick up this one this weekend...it not definite. The f22 n f18 blue is 😍. Love ur channel Brian n Camera crew. U both rock!!! 👍🏽🤘🏽

Thanks 👍 - Still want more practice, but the weather has been crap ;(

Thanks Spike! That's what we do here, and hop you enjoy it!

It sure is ;) Thanks! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nó chắc chắn là;) Cảm ơn!

Thank you! Glad you're here with us too! We love doing this, and really do appreciate playing a part in people's progression through the ranks - it's fun for me too!!!

Agreed!

Thank you! Will do!

It really is! The sound is pretty amazing! She needs some room to land ;)

Glad you liked it! You're welcome!

Glad you liked it!!

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks

Glad you enjoyed it!

It really is!

Thanks a lot!

Thanks for watching till the end ;) I've missed switches like that too ;(...

Coming soon! I know you want to see...and I keep getting requests...but it's not near as impressive as it should. Loads and loads of planes, but not well organized like it should be.

@@BrianPhillipsRC 🤣 I know the feeling, in this hobby the planes add up and you run out of room. I need a whole new building for mine. Let's just say my car garage is my very unorganized hanger and our vehicles sit outside. Thanks again for all the videos!

That would be great

@@camomaster6316 I don't even have a garage to speak of, now that I'm renting an apartment. I've seen pictures where the models are hung on the ceiling but they were reversed. The landing gear was resting against the ceiling and it looked pretty cool. I'd like to do that but I can't figure out how to physically attach them to the ceiling. If anybody has an idea on how to do that please let me know.

Cool! Make the runway as wide as you can afford...makes it easier to turn around trailers ;)

@@BrianPhillipsRC LOL thanks, I'll keep that in mind

Our pleasure! Thanks!

Good luck!

YOU know a guy? Imagine that.

I knew you'd chime in...for good reason ;) You know where we are, If you're still interested, we'll do it again. Just let me know!

Thanks ;)

Did I miss a question???

@@BrianPhillipsRC absolutely not that was my fault I thought I sent that message as a text to my favorite uncle in Texas. He sent me footage of you flying the SU-30 and I was telling him I’ve been following you for a while lol, my bad bro.

@@BrianPhillipsRC I’m trying to convince him into flying R.C planes lol, I guess he’s been doing his research and found you 😂

Thanks! It is really cool!

AWESOME! I have that pack too, but was nervous about the 30C part. It's such a super spendy pack, I don't want to kill it!

@@BrianPhillipsRC yea it is and I have four of them don’t do the math lol that’s another huge plane lmao!!!

I'm so glad you actually watched .) (one eye smile)

she is a she ;)

Many thanks

Thanks BOBO!

Me too ;) They've been sold out for so long ;( Glad you got the Turbo Timber. It is a great plane!!! I just flew my OLD Timber 1.5m when my friend came over Saturday, and every time I fly the Timber, it makes me remember just how AWESOME it really is!!! One of the best BNF planes available. When do we get a Carbon Z Timber horizon hobby???

I had a small bunny hop, but still looked cool! I need to figure out how to land it slower. I'm just not ballzy enough to put it down slow. I KNOW it would go slower, but I get out and flying around and who wants to "stall" it to see how slow she'll go on a maiden??? NO ME - LOL...but I should.

Good tip! I like it! I'll see if I can get some super small ones.

You are very welcome - This plane really blew me away! It's way more beautiful that I thought!!!

Thank you! Cheers!

YEAH! She's a beauty, but wants to carry on and on for landing rollouts

We may need to try it. They have been using the scratching pole, but they ALSO use the sides and corners of any upholstered chain in the house ;( Too bad, but they are getting mice ;) That was out rationale....but then after holding those THREE kittens in my hands (at one time) it was apparent that they would be "inside" cats...

Thanks! We're glad you enjoy them!

В яблочко! Ливрея Русских Витязей;) Спасибо! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Exactly! Russian Knights livery ;) Thanks!

Да

Thanks Ken E. I'm so glad you chimed in, because I forgot about that issue!!! I appreciate your help!!!

Sweet! Me too. It's not a powerhouse, power to weight ratio, but I bet she'll be GREAT in dead calm. I really want to fly it in dead calm...

@@BrianPhillipsRC High alpha is amazing... I get mine to hover straight up... pull a full throttle climb and then hold it full throttle, it will hover

It is totally awesome looking... and HUGE!

Thanks, will do! We do a "hanger" tour every year or so, depending on how busy things are. Hope you'll be with us for our next one, which won't be for a while, since we just did one not too long ago.

Awesome! The F15 is supposed to be a great EDF! I don't have that or the F16 in that size class, but would like to review them too. Sometimes smaller is better, and sometimes it's not...I hear they're good, but I'm big about wheels up / wheels down, so fixed gear on EDF jets is a bit of a non-starter for me on any war bird. That being said, I'm exceeded to see how well they both perform.

@@BrianPhillipsRC Yeah I do agree. Ideally I would like to have retracts and flaps.. or even rudder hehe, but It was a bargain and I think its a good first practice EDF for me and my son

I thought the same thing!!!

LOL!!!

yes! The Russians make closures on their inlets and open at the top on the real ones - amazing - For CRAPPY runways ;)

Fun!

Totally agree. I think it should have BOTH. The shape and design of wing would facilitate a good behavior from flapperons, I think...but I've learned my lesson in trying to setup flapperons on HH planes without REALLY wanting a battle :)

I'm sorry you aren't able to sit and watch hours and hours of nonsense like most of my average viewers - LOL - at least you can see the flight, and then pull out early ;)

@@BrianPhillipsRC What kind of movie are we watching here. Lol

Glad you enjoy it! More on the way!!! Been working like crazy, and we have several waiting to publish, and several more in queue to film, with still more being shipped here now ;)

That's cool! My work won't let me do that ;(

Thanks Ben! Glad you're here with us!

Yes sir..

Maybe ;)

They suck, and BLOW ;)

Thanks!

I make a lot of mistakes.

You and me both, but at least we can admit them, unlike alot of other people in this world.

And we learn from them.

Thank you for the reply.

Thanks! If you're curious, we did a build series on the house too ;) It's one of the playlists on our channel

@@BrianPhillipsRC i just like the way u have it

Go for it! It's pretty sweet!

Talk about the "walk of shame" - LOL - wow, priceless story though. Real sorry to hear about your loss. I lost mine in the field that we now own, but wasn't ours at the time, plus a 7000mAh 6S 30C pack. This was an expensive crash...but didn't have to climb in a tree to get it...it was pretty much all over the ground in about 20 pieces. Hope you find a new site :)

I think smoke would be cool with a real turbine jet ;) BUT on an EDF, that would be super complicated.

@@BrianPhillipsRC Нсш 83

I have it on my list, but haven't received it yet - sorry!

LOL - I read your comments in REVERSE ORDER, do I saw the typo right away, and it was very "strange" ;) LOL!!! I thought maybe you were trying to get my cats to EAT the stuff I wanted to protect - LOL!!!!! Hot Sausage == Hot Sauce ;)

Yeah, I think HH ought to just put in a better connector ;)

Thanks Chris! This plane needs a bit of room to stretch out, that's for sure! The "runway" was a wee bit short ;)

Many thanks! It sounds like REAL turbines!!!

This may be true, but I'm not an expert on Russian fighter jets. Thanks for watching!!!

It's more maneuverable without ordnance.

true

Don't crash... Watch for unexpected roll, and use the RUDDERS if you experience it. You will be able to keep flying, but you'll be HARD pressed to land nicely.

@@BrianPhillipsRC Finished the video, great commentary as usual. So the unexpected roll, did you figure out what is causing it? Aileron glitches servo maybe? Thanks John

Wheres the fun in that?!?!? I usually just RAM it in ;) Thanks for the tip. Using a pick is helpful, but that presupposed that the foam model is assembled to such tight tolerances, which they are oftentimes NOT ;( Oh well...it's still fun to struggle :)

​ @Brian Phillips Yeah, You do not want to hurt the threads on the model just wanted to give ya an idea. you keep that great content coming.

She's dead and gone Oliver - sorry to report. I lost her some time ago. It was a very expensive day...lost the plane AND the 7000mAh 6S 30C (gen1????) pack :(....

LOL! Nice!!!

Yes, I realize it can be used. Thanks!

Thanks!

I suspect you could with some effort.

I never did...she was short lived, but amazing :)

I think the C rating needs to be redone...there should be a DC (Discharge) rate, and a C (Charge) rate...some would have the same rate, while others might have totally different circuits. I don't think the C ratings are a bad way to communicate value to a customer, but this value can be "overstated", even by a reputable company like Horizon Hobby.

I'm sure you'll answer on email, but what is it modeled after?

Thanks!!!

It's not on my list, but I'd do it if they want me to ;)

I agree - it's HUGE!

This plane was discontinued a long time ago ;( It was one of the most scary to fly planes for me. I lost it in a devastating crash, and wish I still had her...but I dont ;(

I'm honestly, pretty frustrated with the A380. YES, I could fix it, and SHOULD fix it, but I'm just not sure I can handle it. I wish someone would just buy it from me. It was such a labor of love for me, but now it's just a waste of space, even though it's BEAUTIFUL, even crashed! If I wanted to fix it RIGHT, I'll be getting 4 engines and nacelles from XPR, and redoing the power system to 4S....this would be a REAL undertaking, and just too busy for that time commitment.

She has had her debut - Airbus A380 decals...check it out!

@@BrianPhillipsRC - Excellent! We should see more of her to compliment her extremely thoughtful and insightful color commentary. Thanks!

Thanks Crazy Aces!!! Glad you're getting serious ;) This plane is way harder than the A-10, but the A-10 is way faster, and probably a bit better value, in a side by side. I was disappointed about no flaps on this plane, but it's sort of excusable with the air break... 7 miles in 32 seconds - AMAZING!!!! THAT'S FAST!

I think the SU-30 is marginally better for quality, but I prefer the F-18 since it has flaps rather than just an air break. Both are really cool, but some have had an issue with elevator on the F-18 (I have not)

@@BrianPhillipsRC Thanks Brian

@@BrianPhillipsRC Well I did it, ordered the SU-30. Now you have had it for awhile, what did you find to be the best battery option for performance and flight time?

Thanks!

I don't know if they will...I'd be happy if they did since I killed mine ;(.....
