The E-Flite Su-30 Twin 70mm EDF BNF Basic Electric Ducted Fan Jet replicates the seldom-modeled Sukhoi fighter with power, maneuverability, and Extra Scale details that all combine for a truly incomparable flying experience. With its twin EDF units running in sync, the Su-30 sounds like a giant-scale turbine-powered jet — and because of its impressively large size it flies like a big jet, too. The 12-blade 70mm fans feature brushless in-runner motors that are paired with 80A ESCs wired to use a single 6S 5000–7000mAh LiPo battery. This power system produces excellent top speed and vertical performance, while the factory-installed, metal-geared servos with ball-link equipped linkages deliver precise control. Functional Extra Scale features include a deployable air brake, LED landing and navigation lights, full-flying stabs, sequenced gear doors and electric retracts with shock-absorbing struts including a trailing-link nose gear so the Su-30 can be flown from a wide variety of surfaces. And a multitude of Extra Scale details make it a standout on the tarmac and in flight, including molded-in panel lines and hatches, removable optional-use ordnance, cockpit detail and a factory-applied finish with a unique high-visibility trim scheme.

Developed by Russia's Sukhoi Aviation Corporation, the two-seat, twin-engine Su-30 multirole fighter improved on the Su-27 with greater operational range and the ability to support both air and ground attacks. The E-flite Su-30 Twin 70mm EDF jet replicates this rarely modeled fighter in striking Extra Scale detail and offers unique flight characteristics and features. From its large size, functional air brake and highly-detailed retractable landing gear to the twin power system and the awesome turbine-like sound it delivers, this Su-30 is designed to impress. The model also features a unique Russian Falcons trim scheme that adds to the authenticity and in-flight visibility.

WOW ? is all I can say. I’ve flown many EDF jets in my day. But there is nothing like this SU-30! Let me start off with the quality and design of the plane. I took me about 25 minutes to build.

It has a huge canopy area to mess around with different size batteries. However I feel the 6s 6000 mah seems to be the sweet spot.

I started off by taking out the spektrum AS3X that comes with it because I didn’t realize you can “not” turn gyro off. When you buy a Bind and fly. I added a hobby eagle gyro and a ar8000 receiver. To be honest I fly more often with gyro off because the plane is so freaking stable do to its design and size.

Amazing I think it’s a must have for any edf enthusiast.

This plane is overpriced I can get the same thing by building it myself!
