These videos are kinda old... from 2019 or so but I hadn't come around to edit them just yet. So FWIW, there they go! On the first flight I messed up during take-off, losing focus for a second and releasing stick pressure way too late, turning rotation into a cobra, which then I overcorrected twice, leading the jet to lose all its energy and stall. Wasn't capable of holding it even with the TV nozzles. Mind that it's harder to do that from the FPV perspective too. Then I made a non-FPV flight after repairs to make sure all was fine and good and last I made a full-FPV flight to check the FPV gear and everything was alright. This third flight was the most interesting of course, so don't miss it! Sadly, the flight controller fried shortly after and that's why I haven't been flying this jet for a while now... replacing the FC takes quite some work and I have not started it yet. Soon now, though... keep tuned!

Here are a few 'better' FPV flights you may want to check out in the meantime if you like this!

Enjoy the action!
FPV jets rule! :DDD

Regarding my SU-35 setup:

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.
