Seriously great video Mr. Ryan. Thanks for all you do for the RC airplane community.

We really appreciate the comment. Thanks for coming by

[@rcflyer3984]

Awesome video pilot Ryan. Merry Christmas to you Bobby and your families.

[@dennisfarley6574]

Great flying Ryan and great work on the camera Bobby.

[@HorizonHobbyProducts]

What a great video!! Good job guys, glad your enjoying the product!

[@thefireman285]

That was great! The profile of that jet along the treeline looked so muck like the real deal. Merry Christmas fellas!

[@scottgraham3979]

Excellent job sir! Very much enjoy these videos and peeks at the new stuff coming out! Thanks!

[@joehabeeb3462]

Great video I was going to purchase the Avanti now you just put me on the fence with all the fun you two were having with the Su30 your killing me😊

[@PilotRyanMedia]

Sorry not sorry, lol links in the description

[@bkp1300]

Oh yea, that slow flight and landing approach manners look awesome. Can't wait to get mine.

[@warbuzzard7167]

Nice flight, Ryan and Capt.

[@Mrtcoltpilot56]

Awesome flying as usual. Have a Merry Christmas.

[@lightmeupsigns5363]

Wow what an incredible machine looks like the real deal thanks for posting

[@Andingo86]

Wow what a beautiful flight video, I love these longer flight vids. Thanks!!

[@PilotRyanMedia]

Thanks! I like them too. It really makes it like your there to share the experience.

[@timdoss6174]

You were ripping the skies with that bird! Can't wait to maiden mine soon! Great job and love all the info!

[@Wingman-ls4bs]

Holy crap Ryan that is beautiful. I think it’s way better than the f18

[@ThePurplePupUwU]

Always been one of my favorite airplane designs, nothing can beat the a-10 but these are amazing

[@jimshark72]

Hi, I'm a pilot from Italy, I'm getting used to fly this plane now, and I have to say man, is gorgeous...

[@Farmermanrc]

Great flight Ryan the Intro was amazing. Not to bad on a 5000 pack. I flew mine on a 6000 75c pack and got more then 4 mins of use. The su 30 can definitely handle a 5 minute flight it's possible! Best edf hands down ever made. Thanks for sharing

[@thompsonshanger631]

Awesome flight and thanks for the information you guy’s give us 👍👍👍👍

[@ducksandbears6900]

your shared wonderful moments of that hobby. to be happy outside with an airplane in the nature...Thank you. awesome model too !!!

[@earlmauger3961]

Sweet sweet flights Ryan! You make it look easy brother. Can't wait to see the ordinance flight!

[@PilotRyanMedia]

Thanks! Ordnance flights coming soon to youtube. We have already filmed them.

[@ljhobbylife]

Wowzers that thing is awesome and as usual your videos really show everything you need to see to really want the plane!! 👍🏼💪🏼

[@countdown_ok]

The sound!!! Couldn't sound better.

[@nickkennedy1410]

Hi Bobby K and Pilot Ryan. Looking forward to your next live chat channel stream. You make flying this jet look like a piece of cake. Sounds almost like a real turbine at times. You've sold me on getting one this New Year. Merry Christmas guys!

[@PilotRyanMedia]

That’s awesome! We love the shows. Use my link in the description and my Horizon Hobby link at Pilot Ryan Media .com

[@JoshWeaverRC]

Great flights! Who else can bring two of these great beautiful beast in the air at once!

[@harpoon_bakery162]

Nice vid!!! Great job Ryan! Bobby K. too. Detail is superb.

[@PilotRyanMedia]

Thank you so much

[@gooniac33]

Now this is my kinda flight review!! You guys nailed it!! Lots of full throttle action and then using a high capacity low C pack is perfect!! Most wont notice but the plane had more punch and rpms with the 7000 simply because of the higher discharge rates of that pack! And then you have all that reserve capacity too! I have had the FMS A-10 in the past which uses this exact same power system and am familiar with how they use battery power. 110amps at full throttle and less than half of that when cruising around. This was a balls the wall type flight but with a 6200 and flying laid back I got over 5 mins with this system and the pack had 3.75 per cell when done. From what I can see this plane will fly really similar to the A-10 and should yield similar times! Shooting touch n goes and formation flight will be awesome! Love this review and keep up the good work with this stuff! Excellet job!!

[@broken4999]

Great flight pilot Ryan good job👍

[@sal2703]

Love your videos! Great flying 👌

[@gregernst4483]

Nice vid Ryan, always love your stuff. If I get a new model I always check out your videos for tips for setup.

[@PilotRyanMedia]

Thanks I really appreciate that.

[@payitfwdrcl6171]

Ryan - Bobby... Confirmed-That’s got to be one of the best looking and flying EDFs I seen yet. Bravo! I think “Operation Empty Wallet” will be a success for 2020. I been eyeing new batteries-those SMART batteries look good too... Hope All your families- Including Pilots commenting here on your channel have a very Merry Christmas. 🎁🎄. 😊

[@JeffinLowerAlabama]

Really looks like the SU-30 is perfection, looks great and flys fantastic, I think you'll like using the timer with the over 25%, great video Pilot Ryan and Bobby K, Jeff in LA USA

[@wspepsilon]

Ugh... its so pretty. Love the smart line of stuff too, love the smart checker!

[@speedteamhpi]

Well Done Sir! This one is next on my list. I have every E-flite jet to date, beside this one and the F-18. I love each and everyone of them. I hope Santa doesn't forget me this year! Merry Christmas Fellas !

[@PilotRyanMedia]

Speedteamlosi oh man that’s great. Good stuff for sure. Link in description

[@slap-nutzrc7145]

Every time I watch this, it has made tomorrow’s planned maiden flight more exciting. Love the collusion.

[@MichelOrnek]

Supernice flying, great plane!

[@skyblazerrc7228]

Really really cool video, great work! Thank you

[@PilotRyanMedia]

You’re very welcome. We love doing it

[@roderickjamesriddick9174]

Good One Ryan and Bobby on Camera.

[@bad65dad]

Nice flying got to get this one.

[@elioavila8456]

Your videos are the best, I bought the Viper thanks to your video (2nd one) and how amazing you flew it. This bird is a beauty and with those lights YOU MUST do a sunset flight!

[@PilotRyanMedia]

Elio Avila oh we did. Just wait

[@elioavila8456]

Can’t wait. I honestly think your channel is the best! Post more videos please!

[@mikekennedy9174]

What an amazing plane. So easy To fly and a real eye catcher with club members. I got applause from the guys outside the pit watching my nose in the air landing on the maiden.

[@iPilott]

Really like watching you fly. Great job! Cheers!🍻

[@PilotRyanMedia]

Cheers! Thanks for stopping by. Really appreciate it. More to come...

[@SkipBuiltRC]

Luv'in it Ryan. Nice shooting Bobby. Happy Flying from Skip-Built RC. WOO HOO...!!!

[@JohnHill-jm7tm]

WOW. What a awesome plane and video. This Old Man has been staying away from jets for maybe 5 years. During that time everything has been Big and Slow. This SU-30 just got added to the want list. Bobby K. love the camera work. Hope y'all and your families have a Merry Christmas. ✈😆💝

[@thercproject9309]

camera work was 10/10 great work!

[@PilotRyanMedia]

Thank you that’s very nice. Bobby does a great job and we have Gabby to thank for all of the formation flight footage. More to come on that as well...

[@danishjeans]

The coolest EDF from eflite if you ask me. Already got the Viper and F-16 Thunderbird and Im about to pull the trigger on this one. Can not wait! Thanks for the video!

[@PilotRyanMedia]

Awesome! If you shop online consider using my link in the description, thanks

[@flannyfpv]

Very nice! Thank you for sharing

[@groundpounderrc6686]

Man!!!!! Owwwwwwww! Completely blown away with those flights. Watching the vid for the 3rd time now! What a gentle beast of a plane!

[@PilotRyanMedia]

Thanks Hal?

[@groundpounderrc6686]

Pilot Ryan Media Yes this is Hal. Not lurking bro just figured I would do a little reinventing. Did you get my messenger question about battery packs , motor over and ESC? ? Man.... that SU is the bomb!

[@groundpounderrc6686]

If it’s not the Pilot Ryan Ryan Ramsey account I won’t see it

[@JeffsCustomRC]

Awesome review Ryan and Bobby, this jet looks amazing on the ground and in flight, just may have to get this one as well, and those smart packs...wow!!! Thanks for another great video guys 👍🏼👍🏼💥

[@PilotRyanMedia]

Thanks for coming by! Always glad to see you pop in. It’s a neat jet without a doubt. I am too pumped about the smart tech. Just wait, when you thought it couldn’t get any better, sometimes it does.

[@langstonwilliams8979]

Got the Horizon Hobby info, thanks!!! Great video!!✈️🛫

[@PilotRyanMedia]

Thanks so much.

[@minininja5695]

Great video! Collusion is ok with me!

[@PilotRyanMedia]

Ha, me too! Especially if we get planes like this

[@cloudyskyforever2553]

Beautiful flight, sir!

[@PilotRyanMedia]

Thank you Sky! It really flies nice

[@mikeanddeepetrillo5602]

Great job Guys, hope to see how it act's on safe:-)

[@ProKr3w]

Just an idea but in the beginning of this video you guys are flying while standing in the grass.. I like this view much better.. Awesome to see your speed passes from this side.

[@williewideback]

Awesome flying Jet with a very nice scale look, be nice to see it fly with the missiles and other ordinances attached

[@PilotRyanMedia]

williewideback coming soon, we already filmed it with ordnance

[@garywebb7481]

Just received mine from second shipment. WOW!

[@hughwiedman9711]

Pilot Ryan, great video's and love your reviews, well worth subscribing to you. Quick question, how will this (SU-30) do taking off of grass without flaps. I'd fly it with a 6000, and would install 2 afterburners, so a little heavy and haven't gotten an answer from HH or anyone on Hobbysquawk if this thing will get off of grass. A HH test pilot thought it may not be good for grass (none of them have tried-and also thought the front gear may be a problem), but can you give it a shot on a grass take-off? My F-16 is a little heavy as well, but with flaperons, if gets off of grass, without flaps, can be difficult.

[@philipschell6515]

Sweet that thing looks sweet what would happen if I strap a turbo to it

[@mrt10352]

Have I said how much I love this jet. I love it so much I just ordered one from FMS in China. I feel like this is how the Freewing F-15 should of flown.

[@EDF_FANatic]

wonder if the air brake can be used to pull off some interesting aerobatics.

[@x5-acousticguitarstuff.2]

New Subscriber from Australia... I love the Channel.🤠

[@jbrundt]

I can tell from your voice how much you like this EDF. I managed to snag what I think is probably one of the last ones available since HH discontinued this jet. It was a toss up between this and the newer Eflite F-16. I think I'll be happier with the Su-30. it's going to be a great stablemate with my Viper 90 (wich I absolutely love). I don't have any 7000's yet and still debating whether I should get any or not. But it's not like I couldn't use them in my other eflite's (Draco/P-61/Fw-190/Viper) so we'll see.

[@carrboro_chapelhillfpv2442]

Good looking craft, I have still not touched an edf.

[@FalconWing1813]

Such a beautiful plane. One day when Im good enough Santa will bring me this . But was not that good this year. lol

[@JohnVHRC]

Twins definitely sound good

[@garycroft2092]

Hi Ryan, I'm hoping to buy a used version of this tomorrow and I wondered if yiu ever got around to setting up flaperons and tailerons?

[@PilotRyanMedia]

I’m flying stock setup

[@rbmwiv]

Does that checker only work with smart batteries? Cool video looks amazing. Love de plane de plane.

[@PilotRyanMedia]

It works with all batteries

[@victorrcjets7660]

I'm jealous so you guys are enjoying this bird I really want to get one so many birds and so little room!

[@GvillBoy]

Wish I could pick one of these up! Sheesh

[@kenmunn4421]

Very nice....

[@mrt1035]

If you have the admiral carbon 5100, try that one, the punch it gives it is awesome but shorter flight time. I think I like the rcjetwerx 6000 in mine the best but want to get a smart battery 7000 a try. I have the 2 5000 ones and they are fine too (30c and 50c) As always, awesome video, you and Bobby B were having to much fun

[@PilotRyanMedia]

Good times for sure. I don’t have the Carbon. I want to try the higher c smart batteries for sure.

[@williamdecker3989]

Admiral Carbon 5100 is my new favorite battery!

[@ghoustanable]

Great flight... I just picked up this jet and was wondering what CG you are using on the plane? Cheers

[@PilotRyanMedia]

I like noseheavy. I’m pretty sure I put the smart 5000 almost all the way forward and the smart 7000 almost all the way back. Great flyer regardless

[@coachPalle]

Hello Pilot Ryan and Merry Christmas. I am waiting to get my Su30 home and before I receive it I would like to buy some batteries for it, I'm going to use two 6s batteries around 3300mah for 3600mah and lie them next to each other, to get the weight as far back as possible. So I need to know how wide the battery compartment is and preferably in milimeter 😀 Thank you. And if your US guys only can read inches then it's quite okay 😂 I am a big fan of you, you/your are doing some cool stuff.

[@coachPalle]

Pilot Ryan, it is possible that you can get the time to measure the Width On the Battery compartment . Please

[@blue03r6]

local hobby shop has one on the shelf. I just can't fly a jet yet. but man o man if I could, I'd be all over it.

[@BledsoeTrainsRC]

Dawg. Too cool

[@buddy1065]

Great maiden flight. Is the AS3X set up compatible with Futaba?

[@PilotRyanMedia]

No it is not

[@shreddinjoe]

Pretty nice. Flight characteristics seem easy goin. Better have gold somewhere in it for $550 though.

[@Tooommmek]

You should try 7s 5000 90c lipo it’s so much more fun with unlimited vertical

[@PilotRyanMedia]

Oh wow! I bet that’s awesome

[@flyingtimes7717]

Nice!!!

[@DeucesWildRC]

Gawwwwwwwjus Flanker! Nice slow high alpha control 👍🤘✌️

[@PilotRyanMedia]

Appreciate that! Thank you!

[@philippgeyer5290]

you also can only put the IC5/3 into the checker and you have all the data :D

[@user-xs8or3rb6p]

How much does it fly, how many kilometers can it travel and how much does it cost?

[@langstonwilliams5530]

Sweet!!!!🛫✈️

[@Sabotage_Labs]

Collusion!!! Finally a real case! Pretty funny boys!

[@Sabotage_Labs]

Well, other than the DNC and Hillary colluding with Steel and Russian agents...of course! That SU 30 does look sweet! Love the speed breaks.

[@mikekennedy9174]

Nice, now we need to see a tandem flight with its mortal enemy, the F22

[@mrparamedico25]

Hello, excellent flight, have you ever taken it off from the grass?

[@PilotRyanMedia]

No not yet

[@marshallfamily01]

Pilot Ryan, great video! Can you get this bird off the deck with an Admiral 5000 in 200 feet or less?

[@PilotRyanMedia]

Yes I’d say so. Our runway is 280. We don’t use all of it. It will be tight but doable if you know what you’re doing

[@bdrew247]

Nice!

[@greghoff7303]

Anyone know if the elevators are the 13 or the 9gram ones? Anyone have the dimensions on the elevator servos? Trying to get a Hi-tech drop in replacement.

[@hamiltonshangar]

Hey Ryan! Amazing Maiden and second flight!! 💯🔥I will use the PnP model.. if I go to your site and go to horizon through there does that still go through you?

[@PilotRyanMedia]

Hamiltons Hangar yessir it does. My site makes it easy

[@hamiltonshangar]

Pilot Ryan Media ok bet thank you

[@Big_Uncle_Randy]

Awesome Jet!! great vid guys!!!now...PLEASE Horizon Hobby..Make a F-14 TOMCAT of the same scale!! ...With movable wings!!!

[@TheMossie111]

Ryan Adrian here I have pnp version and will use a Motion rc gyro that I have,should be ok I think

[@PilotRyanMedia]

Should be fine

[@Cowboysway1969]

Just when I think I don't need anymore planes I need another Eflight plane! Well jet in this case haha, It's beautiful....

[@PilotRyanMedia]

Cowboy4737 it’s a special flyer. If you get one use my link in description, it helps. Thanks

[@MrBlompod]

Does it have the old AS3X or the new AR637TA receiver in it? It’s one of Eflites most expensive planes so one would think the latter....

[@PilotRyanMedia]

Can’t remember. Pretty sure it came out before the 637t

[@ddfwaj]

Great video and maiden flight! Question, I noticed on the Horizon site the BNF comes with a 6 channel receiver. How does this jet only use 6 channels, is the nose gear tied into the vertical stabs?

[@PilotRyanMedia]

Yes on many jets nosewheel and rudder steering are y’d in together. The same is true for the retractable landing gear. This plane has a speed brake instead of flaps so yes, 6 channels gets it done.

[@ddfwaj]

Pilot Ryan Media Hey thanks for the quick reply! I really like having that 7th channel so you can trim the nose wheel but this makes sense.

[@Sabotage_Labs]

@@PilotRyanMedia but, how about Safe Select. Is more than 6 channels required for assigning a switch to turn on/off safe? I'm having tough time getting channel 6 assigned to a switch and using the pull sticks in and down/toggle the switch five times on a spektrum 6e.

[@aaronchase38]

Our field is a relatively packed dirt runway..would those rear intakes just before the fans be a dirt/debris from the tires kicking stuff up issue? Love how floaty this plane is compared to the f18. But both i worry about intake ingestion..this is where the A10 fits the bill probably

[@PilotRyanMedia]

You can always do a little screen work to keep the fod out of the fan. A10 no problem. Curious what you decide, let me know. Also consider using the links in my descriptions, it helps.

[@octane2099]

hey pilot i have this plane ran the plane with power hobbys 5,200 50c batterys and puffed them up did you have the same problem puffing batterys and ruining them or do i need bigger tank like 6,000mah?

[@PilotRyanMedia]

Running smart packs and roaring tops, no puff

[@Rhoedision]

ZOOM n BOOM awsum

[@Fastnfuri0us69]

Hey buddy i like your videos and can you explain in detail about the transmitter that your flying with, and point it out when you fly this jet I am new to this and this is my dream to fly a jet like you, I wanna buy this jet and transmitter, and can you tell me in detail what I need to buy, please and what do I need to buy.

[@PilotRyanMedia]

The links are in the description. I fly with a dx9 radio from Spektrum.

[@Fastnfuri0us69]

Ok
