Technic from above
Is there still something unusual that can be built with Lego Technic? An AFOL from Czech Republic, grohl666 proves there sure is - for instance a large model of a fighter fitted with a full set of working ailerons, functional chassis and lights.
The construction, blending Technic panel with Bionicle elements in a well-considered way, is an accurate model of the Russian Su-47 Berkut technology demonstrator fighter. The plane has distinctive forward-swept wings - it should be noted that one of pioneers of this kind of solution was a Polish PWS Z-17 Sęp (Vulture) prototypical fighter developed in the early 1930’s.
Almost one meter long, the grohl’s model contains 5 motors, 3 linear actuators and 7 pneumatic cylinders - all of it to make the the canards, ailerons, rudders and elevons move, the landing gear extend and retract, and the canopy open. If you’re not impressed yet - it can even drive and steer!

Thank you for presenting my model and I hope you like it. Stay tuned for my Ford GT40 Mk IV. If everything goes well, it might be published before the end of June.
