FPV SU-35 Formation Flight With 3D Printed P-38 - HD 50fps

Mind blowing air to air footage from my SU-35 while FPV formation flying with a 3D printed P-38 !!
Boy, am I excited! :D
I have been longing to get a decent front-view aerial footage of my Su-35 in the air for YEARS and now finally the dream has come true!
For a different cut, watch my friend's version of the flight here!
The front-view video was shot with a Firefly camera attached with duct tape to the P-38 and using a custom foam mount block to get the downards view angle.
This time I am flying FPV while my friend pilots VLOS. It is the first time ever we try to fly formation like this so I am truly happy about the outcome! :D
The video mixes scenes from different flights, including the formation flight, an FPV demonstration flight and a VLOS aerobatic flight.
These were flights 43 to 45 on this SU-35 airframe.

Regarding my SU-35 setup:
This is a highly modded Freewing SU-35S. It includes an autopilot controller and an FPV headtracking visual system that makes the plane effectively a UAV/RPA. (Stabilizing functions not active in the flights shown).
The 'autopilot' is a FeiYu-Tech FY-41AP and it also provides the OSD seen on the FPV window.
Just as virtual reality 'VR' goggles are used to play videogames, here a similar technique is used to watch what the plane sees in real time just like if you were sitting in the plane's cockpit, and the camera will follow your head movements!
This is kind of 'reality virtualized' as opposed to 'virtual reality' ... what do you think about it? I encourage you to leave your thoughts in the comments section below!
As for the jet itself, the SU-35S is well known for its supermaneuverability features, that are a result of a good aerodynamic design coupled with the use of thrust vectoring nozzless.
The pilot displays a few post-stall maneuvers using the TV nozzles that would be otherwise impossible to perform with a normal jet aircraft.
