SU27 Madness

Some SU27 aerobatics.:pilotfly:

I had a double flame out on take off lol.

Nice recovery :)

Thanks, I've got a few more cool moves with the SU27.:pilotfly:

Heres todays 1st flight some of the highlights inverted flat spin with recovery, vertical take off, departure with recovery and a cobra gone horribly wrong.:doh:

Interesting video. What technique did you use to recover from the deep stall?

@Darkfire

Most modern aircraft will exit spins as soon as you take your hands off the controls, even if not, in the case of something like a lightly loaded Flanker or Hornet, they have the T/W to just blast out of it altogether. It pretty much requires deliberate action to enter one, and deliberate action to keep it going.

Not for a flat spin or an inverted one.:smilewink:

Both of which was the result of my first attempt at the Cobra... I remember thinking briefly, “ How the heck did I get like this!?”

Unfortunately I tried the Cobra at about 300 meters, so...like I said, my thoughts were brief and fleeting.

Agreed. For a normal non-inverted stall the Su-27 is very well behaved. Not so much though for the inverted negative AOA stall. For whatever aerodynamic reason if left alone the aircraft will not recover and will eventually pancake in. It's sometimes possible to 'rock' the aircraft out of the deep stall condition if you have sufficient altitude to do so. I've also read that others have had some success with deploying the brake chute as a means to weather vane out of the stall condition.

I was wondering how SUBS17 did it.

I gotta remember that brake chute idea... I never think of stuff like that
