When it comes to RC aircraft, size doesn't always dictate the flying experience. Take, for example, the remarkable RC Sukhoi Su-30 model—an impressive creation built with 5mm depron foam. With a wingspan of 1060mm (41.7 inches) and a weight of 1200 grams (2.6 lbs), this RC plane may be big, but it flies like a trainer.
The Sukhoi Su-30 shares a striking resemblance to its counterparts, the Su-27 and Su-35, in terms of shape. This means that with the plans provided, you can build any of these exceptional aircraft. However, the second design of the Sukhoi Su-30 stands apart from its predecessor. Not only is it larger, but it's also easier to build, making it accessible for hobbyists of varying skill levels.
Simplicity is the name of the game with this model. The control surfaces are streamlined, utilizing elevons—combination elevators and ailerons—and only requiring two servos for operation. This design choice simplifies the assembly process, allowing builders to focus more on the joy of flying their creation.
Powering this impressive RC aircraft is the Racestar 2212 1400kv brushless motor, complemented by a 9-inch propeller and a 50A ESC (Electronic Speed Controller). However, if desired, a smaller 40A ESC can be used in combination with a 3S 2200mAh Lipo battery without sacrificing performance. This setup ensures optimal flight performance while keeping the motor size compact.
Controlling the Sukhoi Su-30 is a breeze, thanks to its responsive handling and tight turn radius. The combination of elevons and the well-matched motor and propeller provide precise control and maneuverability, making this model a delight to fly.
The versatility of this RC plane is another noteworthy aspect. While originally designed with a pusher prop configuration, the Sukhoi Su-30 can also be adapted to accommodate 2x 64mm or 70mm EDF (Electric Ducted Fan) units. This opens up a whole new world of possibilities for RC enthusiasts looking to explore different propulsion systems.
In conclusion, the RC Sukhoi Su-30 is an impressive foam board model that offers a thrilling flying experience despite its larger size. With its straightforward design, easy control, and potential for customization, this model is perfect for both beginners and experienced builders alike. So, get ready to take to the skies and experience the joy of piloting your very own Sukhoi Su-30!
