Freewing Su-35 Twin 70mm 12 blade

[Pilotguy]

Has anyone come across a build video for this Freewing SU-35? The product page on Motionrc does not have one nor did I find one on YouTube. I like to watch build videos before I decide to buy an airplane so I know what I am getting myself into. Thanks.

So, there go my actual first FPV flights after I upgraded to RX8Rs/20A UBEC and removed the redundancy bus (allowing the CG to be shifted further aft to where I like it). :)

I'm thinking of Russian Knight #51.

Disclaimer: It will not be exact, I don't have the skill or interest of making a scale replica, but hopefully nice and well presented. anyway :-)

What scheme are you planning for the Su? :D



Yep, they do that a lot, one of my favourite maneuvers. :)

The cool thing (one of many) about the model is that you can duplicate these maneuvers.

That entry into the extreme alpha at 9:10 was just mean!

For those that didn't know, the Russian Knights (Blue Angels equivalent, so to speak) have been transitioning to Su-35S jets recently.

So now suddenly my Su35 has got its number in line for the paint booth. But the line ahead is long: Timber, Rebel, M2000, and JAS 39 are ahead. We'll see if it gets there in time for the 2021 season. Flying is prioritised over painting.

...but snowmobiling is prioritised above almost everything in winter, so plans will probably change

I think this is the first video of them doing aerobatics with the new bird.
If this doesn't blow your mind...

Tango Vector I use hobbywing 80amp escs in mine with the fms 1900kv fans and they work fine, I added extra air input as per my mod shown earlier as it helps keep the the battery, esc and main connectors cool. 3 to 3.5 mins flight time with about 22% left most of the time I fly on 1/2 throttle sometimes more, sometimes less so I dont really rack up the amps consumption. Plane weighs 3.5kg with 810 gm 6s 5000 battery.

Another one that succumbs here... found the couple for 80€ on bangood (40€ each) after discounts and using my account points and got a set for my non-FPV Su-35...

I also ordered a couple of lighter 6S 4Ah packs (660g). I really want to get this thing hovering, mwhahahaha!
(Thanks Kallend and mshagg).

My ESCs are already upgraded anyways.

[HangarQueen]

Well, I have 100A ESCs in mine, so they can cope.
What flight times are you getting?

[mshagg]

Do you have any data on the current draw of this EDF units?

About 140A for the pair on low timing. Above 150A (as high as the current sensor goes) on high timing.

[HangarQueen]

Joined the club this week, thing is an absolute rocket with FMS 1900kv inrunners, had to back the timing off to ease the load on the packs but still > 1:1 thrust/weight.

Basically followed Airguardians build guide with a few bespoke 3DP bits and pieces to better support the gear on grass ops. A3L pro on the TV servos. 3 coats of gloss takes the rough finish of the EPS.

What a cool jet.

You'll need to upgrade the ESCs if you have the original ones.

Thanks! Think I'll get the Hobbywing 80A or do I need more? Good price at the moment...

You had me at " > 1:1 ". A pair of FMS 1900kv ordered!

Having extra-fun with the Su-35 in FPV!

I replaced 2x X8Rs and an RB16 with two RX8Rs.

Looking good, I have the fms 1900kv units in my su35, hawk, F16 and yak 130, they are very smooth especially good in the yak

Isn't it just? And the price is right.

Even more important, it doesn't lawndart!

[Airguardian]

Well done mshagg !
Now I want to get a set or two of those FMS PRO fans myself, lol!


New crazy Su-35 vid!

Even managed to get take-off wheelies, but that was more luck than skill... still looked wicked! :D
