I made this Sukhoi because I already made an F-22 Raptor plans, because I think it would be interesting if I made its rival too which is Sukhoi Su-57 Felon or in Russia known as T-50 PAK FA. This model is not design specifically for neither EDF or pusher prop, I just design the model airfame that can be built with 5-6mm foam board or depron or polyfoam, without any propulsion mounting design. You have to figure out yourself, but you can see on the build video how I install a single 70mm EDF on center between the two exhaust. For this setup I use FMS 12 blades 6S 70mm EDF, with 2.6 kg thrust with 80A ESC and 6S 2200mAh Lipo, I think it's more than enough than the weight itself. I also convert it from EDF to pusher prop using DXW 3536 1200kv brushless motor, 10 inch prop, 50A ESC and 3S 2200 mAh Lipo. Both perform well, while there's some problem in the beginning, you can see it on the build video on Youtube.

This is the biggest RC model plane that I ever build and fly. The wingspan is 3000mm or almost 10ft. Use almost entirely 5mm foam board as the build material. In this video also the first time I made propeller spinners with 3D printer, and make foam wheels and firewall with laser cutter. I use Creality Ender-3 V2 Neo for 3D printer and 10W CR-Laser Module to convert Ender Printer into laser engraver and cutter. Those tools help me alot and I got best results. I also 3D print some of detail parts.

Because our last big size Su-30 went so good, we made another big size jet again, this time is F-22 Raptor. With slightly smaller wingspan but with the higher wing area compare to my Su-30. Also with the lighter weight, only about 1 kg, make it even smaller wing loading. It flies really great with 4S 2200mAh Lipo battery, 50A ESC and 10x6 prop. I also put landing gear set to the model and it perfectly take off from a runway, but to able to did that I had to swap the propeller with 8 inch from 10 inch prop, so the prop won't strike the asphalt. I think this model can be converted into EDF model jet, because the space on the body of this model is very spacious.

All started with my friend Hendi, he wanted to build a huge scale of my Piper J Cub plans, 2 meters in wingspan, and then I offered him to build my new RC model design, although I haven't got it ready yet but he agreed, so I made the Cessna L-19 Bird Dog in just one night. I let Hendi to build his huge scale RC plane, the result is stunning with white red color scheme, it's very beautiful. The main material is 5mm Depron foam or foamboard. To add the realism I 3D printed a pilot figure with my new Bambu Lab X-1 Carbon 3D printer, the result is awesome, a very fast printer and still with good quality print result.

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.
