SU-37 Maiden Flight

[GoodBadUglyest]

Cool plane! impressive teaching someone how to throw a plane on its maiden flight!

[MrDarthvaderlikespie]

so awesome...

[Endlessdolphins]

Can I buy that from U

[3au4uK13]

Very Beautiful Model - like real - SUPER, good job

[TheVAN3R]

3:54-4:14,the guy is trolling!!!!

[MrFatehmamode]

how did u print 135%pdf great job

[wilmracer]

@MrFatehmamode

Back when I built this I just used acrobat reader and printed it tiled at 135%... These days I take the file on a USB stick to Kinkos or office depot and have the plans printed. They can do the scaling and it saves you a lot of time and effort having to tape the pages together.

[MrFatehmamode]

in the zip file i got 28,,26,22 inches, another file scale is 175%-100% which one of this file i should print,but in the scale of 100% is divide in 3 parts ,

[wilmracer]

@MrFatehmamode

Not sure I follow completely. The 100% has a 30" wingspan. What I would do is take this file to a printer (office depot or similar) and have them print it for you at 135% if you want it to be exactly this size.

Chingon!!!!!!

[504redd]

Man just send me a PDF file so that I can Build me One

[wilmracer]

@504redd

Sent! :-) 

[ricotita2008]

Love it!!

[f271970]

cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oollll



[jesselo1969]

really nice build!! F the downers. looking to one day build an f4 phantom same style with dual 80mm!

[smokeldogg]

One who'd put such flames on his plane must indeed be a flamer. Why not use 711's paint. BTW, the Su-37 is the Flanker-F, not the Super Flanker.

[wilmracer]

@smokeldogg The military schemes have been done over and over on almost every RC SU-37 I've ever seen. Wanted something different. Try building one yourself instead of just playing video games....

[BillyKidJoe1]

@wilmracer good job how much thrust dose it have looks like it did great in the wind

[BillyKidJoe1]

@smokeldogg thats actually a tiger design

[cragsta18]

wooow u need some wheels for that and thats fast u look at it 1 min the next its gone are u selling these all ready made

[captainofocean]

exllnt job , but the paint sucks :/

[Biogem369]

Excellent work!

[winstonr100]

nice plane but su-37 is not a superflanker lol

[flunkn70]

Nice job!  Thanks for posting....

[cvgbcs]

Nice plane beatifull sound

[Chao5bringer]

Lol, wait january or febuary

[GearSwinger]

Nice job Carl and good production.

[timitrainer2008]

ohhhh!!!! this rc plane of my dreams

[Raketemax1]

cool song!!!

[Sunnefokentauros]

Great job ! But plz next time , try to make one that will be able to take down the chemtrails that are flying on the sky...

[bobsiopener]

That's a great maiden flight!

[wilmracer]

@bobsiopener

Thanks!

[Munky332]

this is one of my most favorite jets, it really sucks that so few companies make decent models (with working surfaces anyways). best one i can find (albeit probably a scam) is the banana hobbies SU-37

[alex1x1x]

how much do these cost? this is an epic hobby, blatently get some bottle rockets, tape them lightly on the underside and make a remote igniter (somehow) so when u press a button they fire and break the tape. you could fuck cyclists up lol

[XOROHN]

nice pIane but not an good sound for this jet....

[wilmracer]

@XOROHN

Thanks! The EDF noise will never be quite as good as the real thing, but her new setup sounds a bit better IMO. Need to get video of that setup up on here.

[Xxww2riflexX]

how much would u sell that baby for jk lol

[wilmracer]

@Xxww2riflexX

lol... She's not for sale at the moment. If I build too many more parkjets I'm going to run out of room and the lady of the house will force me to start selling them off...

[piratesnine]

I want you to upload the things of a design / a production process / a design / materials in detail

[wilmracer]

@piratesnine

Head over to Wattflyer and search for threads by my username. You'll find a thread called Shumate SU37 Dual EDF Conversion... All the details are there!

[nathanshadbolt82]

very sweet looking jet have you considered buting in a giro on working canards for a smoother flight profile.

[wilmracer]

@nathanshadbolt82

Thanks! I don't think I'm going to actuate the canards... the plane flies very nice as it is now that it is dialed in. She's actually on the bench right now getting new fans and motors, so the underpowered issue will hopefully be a thing of the past :-)

[BishiSab]

nice..............

[DanielMadrigalC]

nice build

[wilmracer]

@DanielMadrigalC

Thanks! I've been watching your Learjet build. Looks great. Did you ever pick back up with that big MIG-29?

[DanielMadrigalC]

@wilmracer I'm thinking about it but my big mistake in the construction of this MIG is that I buid it without considering the transportation and a 7-foot plane is difficult trying to fit in a car or van : )

so I have to think of a way to make the wings removable

[wilmracer]

@DanielMadrigalC

That is funny... I seem to build each of my planes large enough that I can JUST BARELY fit one of them in my jeep. You should see me pull up to the field and start pulling stuff out of the car... its like watching a clown car at a circus.

[atreewithnolife]

a great achievment, you where all so cool throughout !

[TheUllhue]

it;s a beauty!!!

[sukhoisown]

sexay!!

[wilmracer]

Thanks!

[jballzzz]

Congrats Sir, nice job!!!

Jballzzz!!

[jbs127845]

Great job on the build!! It looks awesome

[ILoveMyBikes]

Yeah do an onboard video :). The MD80 is very cheap, I have just posted a video using it.

[drumfreak14]

u should put on an onboard camera !!! that would be soo awsome

[jeflatt]

that is the best looking park jet i have ever seen!!!!!!

[wilmracer]

Thanks!

[realmavi]

@jeflatt l agree with u

[kwakpilot0]

Very nice indeed, superbly finished and flown.

I wish i could finish my own planes as nice but then i'd never fly them! lol

[taintedeyez]

Nice plane! I have an easystar and I want a ducted fan aircraft, but I don't know if my skills are up to par yet.

[wilmracer]

Good Luck! I would probably work my way up to an EDF jet... If you've got some Low wing aileron experience try a pusher parkjet. It will get you used to the speed and handling and still give you the immediate thrust to get yourself out of trouble...

[davethestoner]

Awesome!! I'm a noob to this, but I was thinking of giving Shumate's F-15 twin EDF's, what kind of set up did you use for this?

[wilmracer]

The setup is listed in one of the earlier comments below. Good luck with your build. Shumate's planes fly great!

[samanthms123]

how did you paint it so well ???

[wilmracer]

The trick is in how you finish the foam. I use lightweight spackle to fill gaps and smooth the surface, a few light coats of minwax polycrylic, and then paint. I cut about 15 templates for the stripe patern and just moved them around till I liked the look.

[maxispeed0]

width of the wing is too big.

[wilmracer]

You're the first one to pick up on that. The span is the same as the plans but when I added the ailerons I wanted a little more area. They are about 1" deeper than scale. You would have to be really familiar with the lines of the SU-37 to pick up on it, particularly when she's in flight. Nice catch!

[maxispeed0]

I am a little familiar with the aircraft in Russia. :)

[drewd1987]

That's so cool. You should give it thruts vectoring!!

My favorite fighter

[ericgoujon]

100% good job..

[Bibazavr]

I think its Su-37 Terminator , not superflanker

[wilmracer]

I'm not an expert but my understanding is that the terminator is one member of the super flanker "family". I based the name off Jetset44's plans. He seems to be pretty acurate to me.

[Bibazavr]

I see. really nice plane btw . Never thought that Russian planes are that popular in US . Would be cool to attach a video feed to it and fly around neighbourhood .

[andrewcadabra]

that is awesome how you did all that. The painting is really cool.

It seems like that is really fun to do if you know what you are doing lol

[iamtherobotofpop]

great maiden!!!

thats ones sweet looking paintjob!!!

now you just need to set up some thrust vectoring nozzles for those edfs!

[annihil8ted]
