The XFLY Sukhoi Su-27 Flanker 750mm EDF jet is an easy-to-fly, great-looking, and versatile scale EDF model that will appeal to a wide variety of pilots, including those with limited experience in flying EDF jets. The 4S-compatible power system includes twin 12-bladed 50mm fan units that deliver an abundance of power for excellent thrust, loads of speed, and an incredible turbine-like sound. The full-size Sukhoi Su-27 Flanker is a long-range air defense jet fighter that was designed as a direct competitor to the McDonnell Douglas F-14. The swept-back wing configuration gives the Su-27 excellent slow-speed handling and short-field capabilities, but it also allows for high maneuverability at speed. These design attributes carry over extremely well to the XFLY model of the Sukhoi Su-27.
The XFLY Su-27 is supplied in a "Plug-N-Fly" format meaning that it not only includes the fan units, motors, and ESCs, but 5 x 9g digital servos as well, all you need to supply is a transmitter, receiver, and a 4S (14.8V) 2200~3000mAh LiPo battery. The strong landing gear supplied is fixed with a steerable nose gear, but due to the very stable flight characteristics of the Su-27, it is quite happy being hand-launched with the landing gear removed. This takes it to the next level with even more speed and an almost unlimited vertical performance.
The model is made from very tough EPO foam and is beautifully finished in a blue color scheme of the Ukrainian Air Force. Assembly is quick and simple, there is a small amount of gluing to do on the tail components, but the rest is simply screwed together.
So if you are after a scale EDF jet that looks great, flies great, is smooth and stable in flight, and has excellent handling qualities, then the XFLY Sukhoi Su-27 is for you.
