your buddyOriginal
these all the emotions i experience
gave reasons for postponing the first flight:
Russian Su-57 Aircraft Thread (PAK-FA and IAF FGFA)
- Thread starter A Bar Brother
- Start date
gave reasons for postponing the first flight:
Could we have an honest summary please Master Jura? and thanks in advance!

I have not being a supporter of him. however last year Yuri Bely see link who happens to be General Director of Tikhomirov, he said T-50-6 does exist.
Airforce.ru has a mouthpiece in Berkut for the key aviation forum, the rumor about the first flight never was called official and very few Russian websites reported it.
Rostec reported the first flight of Ka-62 on April 29th 2016, but not PAKFA`s .
RT and Sputnik news did not report it
Russianplanes.net uploaded a T-50-1 picture on April 29th.
So by May they changed the story for a new first flight programmed for May.
I keep my cool. i never supported the rumor, but i always i keep a healthy open minded attitude, so i give to the rumor its chance to be proven right.
The rumor, Berkut Asokh and other rumor spreaders, since there is no proof have changed the story, they said first flight 23rd April 2016, it did not happen, later they said first flight 27th April 2016, it did not happen so now they changed the story one more time to first flight May 12th

LOL I thought our Russian-information lover

would handle it
it's just two sentences from
The first flight of the T-50-6-2 was postponed due to issues experienced with
- the (on-board) fire-protection system;
- the cowl installation;
- certain steering transmissions,
Between May 5 and 10, the vibration testing of (the recently) modified vertical stabilizers will be carried out in the Sukhoi Test Center in Zhukovsky near Moscow; the second attempt at flying the T-50-6-2 is scheduled for May 12, followed by its delivery on May 20.
(just for me: ЛИиДБ = лётно-испытательная и доводочная баз)

Sadly, he's unable to get into big-boy mode??? but the onboard fire-protection system is very important given that 055 was destroyed by fire, obviously some fitment issues with the cowl, and high-speed taxi showed some issues with the steering?? These are ALL normal off the line pre-production prototype issues.
I was astounded when the J-20s initial flight test of 2001 went off without the days/months delays that normally occur with first flight or shortly after first fligh. They seemed to blow through those early days.
This is actually the norm in the aircraft industry, and while our little buddy can't admit this is T-50 6-2, the redesigned vertical stabs being modified does in fact confirm that Deino's sources are right on and Sukhoi is NOT going to take a chance with another fire which set the program BACK nearly a year and a half???
Equation
Lieutenant General
That's not too far off, just 6 more days beginning today for the May 12th flying of T-50-6-2 and than another 8 days for delivery.

i do not think you understand well, airforce.ru posters, have been the sources Deino uses, in fact, the whole T-50-6-1/2 comes from the same posters that claimed T-50-6-2 flew last 27th May 2016.
Airforce.ru is even a forum i have a logging name, i even post there, i know there are a few ex-soviet pilots posting there, once i talked to a Soviet MiG-23 former pilot there.
So the forum like aviaforum.ru and many others have pilots, some very nostalgic.
Now let us see if the T-50 flies on 12th May 2016, i doubt it, why? they said, the same guy, it had already flown on April 27th 2016, because there is no proof in fact if you go to UAC
you will see this like news
- 4 April 2016Russian Defence Ministry concluded a new contract with “Irkut” corporation for Su-30SM aircraft deliveries
you will not see any news about the flight on 27th April 2016.
So they now have changed to May 12th, let us see, if it does well it will give him back his credibility, but at this moment it is doubtful he has any credibility left
