SU30 Giant Scale RC Twin Turbine Jet: Weston Park Model Airshow 2023 Flight Spectacle 

Thank you, Glad you enjoyed it!

Indeed it is!

Literally 1/2 a second from destruction.

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

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

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.

Absolutely! That elevator came in clutch. Thanks for watching!

I'm glad you enjoyed it! The SU30 is a fantastic aircraft.

It sure is!

Hi there! Thanks for watching!

Indeed! It's incredible how these models can handle such maneuvers. Thanks for watching!

Thanks! These jets can be a handful, but that's part of the thrill.

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the recording. 😊

You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed seeing the SU30 in action.

Grazie! (Thank you!) I'm glad you enjoyed the SU30's flight.

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching 🎉

"Thanks! I'm glad you think so. These RC planes are amazing, aren't they?"

It sure is!

Absolutely! There's something special about seeing these RC jets fly. If you agree, hit that like button and subscribe for more aerial awesomeness!

Thank you! Cheers!

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

You're absolutely right, it takes a lot of skill and dedication!

Спасибо! (Thank you!) The SU30 is a very capable aircraft.

Absolutely! Glad you enjoyed it!

Good eye! You're right, it is a Skymaster kit. They make some fantastic flying models.

Wow" is right! These RC jets are incredible machines.

Thank you! Cheers!

Agreed

Close call indeed! Every flight is a learning opportunity. Thanks for tuning in!

No kidding!

Close call indeed! 😄 It's all part of the thrill of flying these magnificent jets. Thanks for watching and enjoying the show with us!

Thanks for the safety tip!

Close call indeed! Thanks for watching!

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!

Very Very close, glad it was a save

"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!"

Рад, что понравилось! (Glad you liked it!) These RC jets are a lot of fun to fly. For more behind-the-scenes content and pilot tips, consider joining my channel and Subscribe

Haha, well, let's just say it got the job done! .... Eventually

Haha, maybe a little! Landings can be nerve-wracking, especially with a jet this size.

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's a great question! Turbine jets are amazing, but they're also quite complex.

@@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?

Ah I see your point and a very interesting And I’m from the UK bud 😎👍

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 😂

Buddy you couldn’t even get close to flying this thing lmao

@@liamdemay4710 And that makes this pilot better? 😅🤣😂

@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

Everyone should give this hobby a go just to get the experience

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.

@@Bravo303I'm NOT condemning you or your craftsmanship. I didn't spot it until the end of the video. I just didn't know if you had noticed it.

I will chat to the pilot / owner next time I see him will be interesting to get his insights Haha

@@Bravo303 it flew, I was just pointing out a small error the builder was unaware of.

No worries, pilot is a good friend so im sure it will make for some interesting conversion

Thanks for the comment! You're right, it does look a bit nose heavy in some parts

Beautiful machine, Horrible origins

@@Bravo303 Beautiful machine. The best of origins... the SU27

@@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.
