Hey FliteTest, I know this comment might get lost in the crowd, but I just want to let you know that this kind of episode format, where you documented the design process alongside the original review of the project was awesome! I assume I'm not only speaking for myself, as I love watching the prototypes become better and better as the designers chug along through the difficulties (remember Jeremy's episodes?). The feeling I get is reminiscent of the old FliteTest days with the Sweeeede and Peter and Josh Scott, a great set of hosts reborn in this newer generation of just-as-awesome hosts! I certainly hope this trend continues as future designs are released. Can't wait to build another Andres-certified plane!!!

Spot on! I too love seeing the design process. It was very insightful to see the first failed attempts, the discussions and sharing of experience, leading to a wonderful flying craft. FT rocks!

This is possibly the best RC vid I’ve seen. THIS is why I LOVE RMRC. no one, NO ONE as in manufacturers, would release a product, Nano Goblin, and then proceed to get really stuck into helping FTest produce a cheap alternative. For me, this shows true love for the hobby, the open willingness to share and assist. I’ve got the Nano Goblin. The only problem is I cannot get the correct batteries for it here, in the UK. I made my own battery pack for it, andLOOOOVE it!!! Took me sooo long to get hold of it but was worth it. I cannot work due to PTSD caused by almost two decades of seeing to many people in bits, shot, witnessing man at his worst etc, so very broke, but due to it being so cheap I was able to save and get it. Even my 2 daughters, Daisy (3) and Isabella (8) love the Nano Goblin!!!!Working on trying to achieve the impossible, aka getting s full size Goblin. My dream plane. FTest, great work guys, RMRC, your a one of a kind company, you really care about the hobby. Thank you for producing such awesome planes!!!! Hence, I’m a loyal customer. It’s hard as in getting your products here, but totally worth the effort. Keep doing what your doing as your rocking it!!! Take care all, kindest regards Dean Wales, UK

Josh and Andres are the best FliteTest duo to date! Perfect balance of experience and innovation, this is just awesome.

Great to see Tim again. Glad you guys can collaborate and get a great design out of it, win win and win for the customer!

I've been waiting for this!! Thanks to EVERYONE involved in the designing of these beauties!!

I agree with Wendell, the design/test process has become an excellent facet of the FT vids. The build episodes are fantastic, and these design and test episodes compliment the build videos. The Sketchy Factor episodes are hysterical and the icing on the cake. And today on The Sketchy Factor.

That was some awesome footage. Well done on the design and build.

This is awesome guys! Amazing work Andres... Cannot wait to get my hands on this kit.

I wish I could hit the like button over and over. I love the design! Excellent job Andres!

Loved this episode. The goblin looks like it flies on rails! Awesome job ;)

wow next build for sure! love it guys

Amazing work Flite Test! Great collaborative work

So gonna build one! Thanks Great Hobbies for distributing FT planes in Canada! 🇨🇦

great job guys!! can't wait to build one of these!!!

Very talented young man, and great to see you mentoring his development

I made one a few months back as a mid-mounted kfm2 airfoil wing with the motor inline with the wings and it flew great. I used eCalc to get some data on my stock setup which estimated a 38min flight time with: -2200mah 3s -30amp ESC -eMax 2204 motor -5x4.5 Tri-blade prop. Best of luck!

Great job on the design as usual Andres Lu. Really enjoyed the video and watching the design process and development of this model.

Ready made is my new go to. Awes9me that they did this. New A/C from ready made getting purchased soon.

I’ll build one for sure . Nice work

First of all lots of love to flite test from India 🙏.U guys make really nice videos and the way u work with a simple sheet of foam board is just top notch. And of course Andres, man u seem to be blessed with these aeromodelling skills. Ur planes are so tempting both for building and flying. Looking forward to more designs. And BTW we all miss David and Josh Scott. Those two made every FT episode a memorable one and the new ones are also doing good in maintaining the legacy (no pun intended)☺. Regards..

Freakin awesome plane! never fail to disappoint me!

great vid again guys

Really nice, great video.

Sweet planes for sure! They look very reminiscent of the Bill Evans Scimitar designs from way back in the nitro days.

Looking forward to the ft night radian coming out on sale!

Love your guy's vids a lot keep it up

I am really glad to see this design become a reality - As a slope pilot, we've been crying out for a cheap plank wing (like the very famous JW wing) - and now, we have it at last ! Re the heavy nosed wings - this is what made the JW a legend for DS pilots (lords of the dark side of the hill) allowing speeds of 200mph to be achieved with a foamie ! I predict slope soarer development !

Agree with Wendell Wu, awesome video!

I need to learn to fly soon i'm buying a plane the end of the month .... You guys inspired me to learn how to fly.....

Great project love it!

Ah yeah, apparently my next build will be a plank design. Great inspirational vid!

Great stuff guy's 😁👍👍👍👍

Yes!!!!!! I love new flitetest planes.

Prototyping at its finest! Fun to watch the build process. Now, can we get it to fly for 40+ minutes like the nano goblin???

Awesome one as always Bruh's

Fantastic work, guys! 😀 I'm going to try to make one of those, but with depron... Here in Brazil I don't have access to the foam board you guys use over there. 😕

I see this channel since 6 years now, and this is the first time i saw josh's hair grow

Flitetest+Ready Made rc........👍👌 Definately going for the laser cut version.

"Don't spike it like a football!" Why do I think that very thing must have happened at some point? Lol Awesome looking plane guys!!! Can't wait to put it together!!!

I love the fast “gob gob”.

Thanks guys lots of info in this e's. Peace my brothers

Great plane 👍

Love the design vids. Looks like you need to make those powerlines a bit more visible. :)

FT FunJet would AWESOME!

While a bit off topic, seeing how good Andres is with CAD, 3d modeling, making 2d plans to rebuild in 3d foamboard, not sure if he would want to do some tutorials? I know there are a lot of fusion 360 tutorials and what not, but not specifically for making flitetest style planes. It would be nice to see a walkthrough of designing a plane on 3d cad (like the edge video but more in depth), how he designed the inside to house electronics, and flattening to 2d plans. I think the community can put out some great stuff if we see the process, can learn the process, and get creative.

I've been curious about something, and I hope maybe you guys can help answer this. I have an idea about how to start DIY super cheap, but wanted to see what you thought. Maybe this could even be an episode? Anyway, I know not everybody can afford to start by buying all the components needed to do DIY. But what about buying a $100 RTF kit, and using all of the components in the included plane, to build a DIY plane? That way you don't have to have a transmitter, controller, servos, etc. You already have some you can use. Might be cool to see what you guys can come up with, using different cheap RTF kits, and taking them apart to build some of your DIY plans?

AAAAANNNNNDDDDDRRRRREEEESSSSS!!!!! Killing it AGAIN! This makes me want to finish my nano-goblin that I've had kicking around for a while, then build one of these. Once I finish my Edge 540 - DUDE! Slow down, I can't keep up! Still waiting for Andres to design a Hughes H-1 Racer for me.... I'm not letting up on this, I'll keep posting this time and time again - I'm not nearly the designer that Andres is, and I want a good flying H-1! Plus it would be a cool challenge. Picture the episode - Andres can dress up and talk like Howard Hughes testing it in "The Aviator"... It would be hilarious and awesome and fun. You guys even have access to a bean field to "land" it in... Also: still waiting for that P-40 Warhawk there guys... you keep teasing it in these videos....

Love y'all. 💝

That looks hella fun. =)

Aewsome work.

Another great video. Hey guys I've requested the news letter several times now. Any idea when you will be sending them out again. One of my AMA field friends gets his so can I expect mine to start soon. THX MJH.

What kind of speed are you getting out of the foam version? I wanted to fiberglass a Strix goblin to see how fast I can get it.

Dear FliteTest, In the past you’ve done trainer builds of real-world planes like the FT Cub. You guys should do a Cessna 150, 172, or a Maule M7. I feel like these would be VERY popular not only for the trainer world but the scale and STOL world(s). I love your guys’ videos and build kits and they always turn out looking awesome and flying great so I would have no doubt that the 150, 172, or Maule would be a great addition to your store/channel. Thanks! -Hayden Fisher

Hey can you do a video more on how you make your foam board models in cad. I’ve done a lot of 3D printing design but I’m interested you design your folds in cad

Remind me of the SpadToTheBone "Sickle" by Tim 'Grim' Tong! Lots of the Correx based STTB models would probably translate really well to foam board and electric.

Very nice video

Hey flitetest fam. My dad flies a a10 warthog...do y'all think you can make a foamboard version so me and him can build and fly it together?

hello friends flite tees I like your videos greetings from Honduras 🎊

Excellent!

Ps: keep going....love the channel

We need a swappable messerschmitt.

You guys should try making some more WWII designs. I'd love to see a FW 190-D9 and say a P-61 Black Widow. lso some post-war jets such as the Venom and Gloster Meteor, the Me-163 Komet, the R2Y2, F2H, and all those. That would be an epic dogfight with the whole crew.

any chance to get plans for the second build with the one back stabelizer and the "not so round" nose? I really like the shape for what is seen in the video :)

Plank planes? They are flying wings! I have several amazing flying wings original cores from Bill Evans of California. They fly amazing and will not stall.

I would *SUCK* at designing planes because I would only care about looks and it would never fly. It was really great watching the trial and error process here! 👍🏻

Lol that escalated quickly! Timelapse to throwing it xD

I love the show and the modified z bends. I had cut a normal z bend off and it shot out of the room. THE next day i stepped on it. LOL. My fault! Thats why modified z bends are the way to go.

WE LOVE ANDRES’ DESIGNS

You should work your magic on FT Cruiser!

How about the flite test mini arrow? That's really cheap too.

How would you compare and contrast the FT Goblin with the FT Mighty Mini Arrow?

Amazing footage... make the heart spin and get down to the dollar store.... Cheers keep it up .... getting the couch potato to get the gear out.... and up

if you are new at building these type of planes...how long should it take? 3 plus hours? do kits come with linkage rods?? thax

Can you do a review on the ghost F100 drone

can you make a lockheed SR-71 blacbird

Are the plans for the RMRC folding Goblin posted anywhere? Would be cool to have them both!

Wings are a bit finicky to pitch stability. They usually use airfoils that have a trailing edge reflex. My suggestion would be to make it overly nose heavy, and use up elevon trim to compensate. This forced nose up imparts pitch stability just like a reflexed TE airfoil.

Was curious, do you have a link to the RMRC version of the design as well? I didn't see that in the links above. Just the FT version.

I'm probably a little late, but it would be cool to adapt it to be a tractor as well. Planks are the ultimate combat planes.

Is there going to be a release of both sets of plans? Not that the one isn’t cool enough I’d love to build both!

if anyone wanted to know how important CG is, and lift center, this is the greatest example of a tail heavy effort

Andres is using both. Autocad for the 2D plans and Fusion for 3D work. He doesn't like / isn't used to the 2D environment in F360.

You should see if you can make an ADM-20 Quail decoy missile. Could be an experiment with jets! :)

I have a challenge for you, build an H6K4

How about a ft ritewing drak? Or a mighty mini edge 540??

Plans for the one rmrc made too? Or do they fly so similar you are just doing one?

You deliver your products in Brazil

Ok this has probably been said before, but I have taken a break from the FT videos and recently come back, and I have to say...Josh, you look like you're aging in reverse!

i from vietnam and you so cool, i like you !

you shoud do led props

Where do y’all get a first person cam from? I’m curious.
