Just conducted a few test flights. The Su-37 V3 is one of the best planes overall that Ive made in terms of aesthetics and flight performance. The plane flies like a neutrally tuned YX-06; thats the only way to describe its flight. Its rigid wings cut through the air like a knife through hot butter. The stabilizers are trimmed to yaw right. Theres a minor natural tendency to yaw right. When you throw a paper plane, its trajectory and flight path tell you about the plane. The Su-37 shows that the cambered airfoils and leading edge flaps really do help improve the flight performance. You can feel the wings pushing and generating more lift than the weight of the aircraft as it flies. It just works. In addition, the plane maintains a steady-slope descent, unlike the untuned V2 or V1 Su-37, which often pitched up at the end of each flight. This plane just plows through air, straight like an arrow. Test flight video/preview soon, after I get my camera fixed. Meanwhile, testing will continue...
