thats smooth

n all those manouvers would be easier to do in an f15

i find it easier in the su-27

i see, well su is kinda "heavy" ; " unstable ", however i think this was worked out with the realease Sukhoi "Su-37" , check six if you dont know what it is : http://www.sci.fi/~fta/Su-27.htm.

how long you fly it ?

With positive trim (nose down trim), the SU-27 is easier to form fly than other airplanes in Lock-On. The flight model is better than the F-15 given it's inherited charecteristics from Flanker that were improved upon. My humble opinion and two cents...

so do you like the photos.

Hey lawndart , how do you do 4 rolls ? you counter the "nose down pitch when inverted ? " cuz i tried it lots of times but didnt quite make it.

Jonnyb,

Nice pics! Keep it up!

SilverOne,

What do you mean by "4 rolls"? For the 4 consecutive aileron rolls (Solo maneuver), I do use a healthy amount of forward stick in between each roll, times at approx the 90 degree point so it doesn't offset me from the runway centerline either. If you're talking about the "Bot Ton Roulle" where all diamond pilots perform individual aileron rolls in formation, we disconnect trim! Untrim the airplane first and then perform a pure aileron roll. Once the roll is complete, we'll all reconnect nose-down trim.

Great screenshots Striker. I just had to put one on my desktop here at work. Now I have everyone around me looking at it as well.

I sure enjoyed the show that night. It was a lot of fun. See you in the sky.
