FPV SU-35 Formation Flight With 3D Printed P-38 - HD 50fps
Mind blowing air to air footage from my SU-35 while FPV formation flying with a 3D printed P-38 !!
Boy, am I excited! :D
I have been longing to get a decent front-view aerial footage of my Su-35 in the air for YEARS and now finally the dream has come true!
The front-view video was shot with a Firefly camera attached with duct tape to the P-38 and using a custom foam mount block to get the downards view angle.
This time I am flying FPV while my friend pilots VLOS. It is the first time ever we try to fly formation like this so I am truly happy about the outcome! :D
The video mixes scenes from different flights, including the formation flight, an FPV demonstration flight and a VLOS aerobatic flight.
These were flights 43 to 45 on this SU-35 airframe.

This is a highly modded Freewing SU-35S. It includes an autopilot controller and an FPV headtracking visual system that makes the plane effectively a UAV/RPA. (Stabilizing functions not active in the flights shown).
The `autopilot` is a FeiYu-Tech FY-41AP and it also provides the OSD seen on the FPV window.
Just as virtual reality `VR` goggles are used to play videogames, here a similar technique is used to watch what the plane sees in real time just like if you were sitting in the plane`s cockpit, and the camera will follow your head movements!
This is kind of `reality virtualized` as opposed to `virtual reality` ... what do you think about it? I encourage you to leave your thoughts in the comments section below!
As for the jet itself, the SU-35S is well known for its supermaneuverability features, that are a result of a good aerodynamic design coupled with the use of thrust vectoring nozzless.
The pilot displays a few post-stall maneuvers using the TV nozzles that would be otherwise impossible to perform with a normal jet aircraft.
