To your kind and skilled people working at flight test you should try to and build another Dusty Crophopper from the movie Planes Fire and Rescue and make it be able to drop water

As a former parachute rigger in the US Air Force I got to work with the 3 essential aerial delivery methods, I would love to work on a bigger scale with you guys, set a point of impact on the drop zone and make a competition, who can make it closer to P.I. That was awesome, you brought back so many memories, good times!

It seems like an extraction chute would be appropriate for these airdrops. Me and a fellow USAF guy used to fly our big trainer RC planes at the Ft Dix parade ground years ago...we would drop little plastic army men with parachutes, trying to land them within a circle. We both used a side-opening trap door on the bottom of fuselage, operated by servo.

I just wanted to say, I really appreciate the sentiment of doing this smaller and thus more approachable than the last time and still having it be "More epic than ever."

4 years at Edgewater?! Wow time flies! I started watching FT in Highschool and it fostered my love for aviation. I’ve since graduated from college and am a certified flight instructor. Thank you Flitetest for still being awesome after all these years!

Looking good for me I’m on the same path. I’ve been watching since I was 8! And now I’m closing in on 16, I aspire to be like you on day

Flite Test's motto: "There is always a round two."

Guinea Pig was my first FT build right after Peter's video. GP is still my favorite FT plate. Flies on rails, hauls a ton, lands easily, hard to stall and just keeps going. I put a 3/16" x1/2" wood spar in the wing and it's indestructible. Even made out of dollar tree foam board

The Guinea pig and the explorer were my first 2 rc planes ever. Both were super easy to build and very forgiving in the sky. Thanks Flite Test!

I learned model aircraft piloting in an indoor club, well, the master pilot had to take back controls a lot of time in order to avoid crashing into the walls of the (tiny) gymnasium. Needles to say I did a lot of single point landings before getting to fly correctly in a tiny closed space. Outdoors flying might be easier to familiarize with the process, but here in France, rc outdoors flying is highly regulated since the drone craze 6 years ago

If I had a plane like that and a teacher like you it would have saved the world a whole lot of GLUE! 😁

Very fun to see the OG Guinnea pig again! If the pun-jet gets revived is there a chance we might see the planes like the Sea angel return too?

Really nice to see another accessible but still technical and creative video!

She looks totally nervous. No worries, your doing great kid. Keep on crushing. I learned to fly by myself entirely. Many crashes and rebuilds until I could stay in the air.

A punjet revisit would be cool, maybe find a way to give it a multi fold wing so that it is more stable after drop and spreading its wings

the creativity in these guys is out of the roof!!!!

So glad to see the Guinea pig back on the channel, brings back a lot of FT memories

Been watching you guys for 4 to 5 years now and have 8 airplanes from you guys. Thanks for the amazing content!

Love the guinea pig. Flew mine at flite fest west 17'. Built two by scratch so far

funny i have been wanting to do this and i just bought the kit deal! Thanks guys cant wait to build it!

I have 3 SCX24th scales, all modified ( there is a HUGE aftermarket), and they are just the most fun ever !! I've made all kinds of courses for them, indoor and outdoor, and I've done the FPV with them as well. Really fun trucks !!

So you asked what we would like to see for me it would be the iconic, large or big lazy bee. This plane came out when I was a kid. I’m 65 now. Love to see you guys build one and put plans up for it.

I think the umbrella would have stayed upright in the fall if you removed all the fabric on the top of the umbrella, say in a 10 inch circle at the very top of the umbrella instead of making a few tiny hole. Or in the future you can get pretty nice parachutes from model rocket companies online fairly cheap.

Had a guinnea pig for about 2 years now. Honestly the best plane I own and is so much fun to do 3D with! Thank you for the memories I’ve been able to have with it

Parachute fabric (we call it F111) is strong, light weight, very compact when folding and has no porosity. It is slippery and it's used for a lot of products besides parachutes as f.e. transfer and pullup stocking aid/ tool. The fabric is a little transparent.

4:08 "it's me"

I liked the flying tutorial. Plus always great seeing things come out the back of aircraft.

My mother always said that it's bad luck to open an umbrella indoors...😆

Simplest parachutes to construct with high reliability are made by cutting a circle or hex or octagon shape of cloth with a loose weave to avoid needing to cut holes (maybe one in Center) and then match it with a netting or lace material. Sew an attachment nylon or string to the Center of the mesh circle and stitch the edges of the 2 circles together. The mesh can’t tangle and opens every time.

Cheese cloth maybe?

Reminds me of when Peter was with flight test. You guys should collab again

Awesome video guys love, these. Next time try tying a pilot chute on top of the parachute, that’ll help keep it upright.

I started learning RC flying in January using an instructor on a buddy box. I am now soloing in expert mode flying a Carbon Cub, Turbo Timber and a Piper Cherokee.

Ya'll are having waaaay too much fun! Thanks for sharing with us!

What a great episode! Great technique ! Nice to see someone else flying. My brother is getting into the hobby and your way of instructing inspired me! Thank you Josh.

bring back the Punjet try to make it fly able out the back

Yes Punjet, or similar design with a mini motor. I would love to see what you guys come up with.

Is that pond and waterfall a new addition? Would love to see a tour of the property at some stage. 👍

She did great for the first time ever flying!!

Remove the frame from the umbrella. I've made parachutes from umbrellas before just using the material part. I used to drop it from my 650mm drone. Just have longer strings from each point of the material

Chiming in once again. I can’t fly. I’ve tried. I’ll stick with my trucks and boats. But I love this channel. You guys make R/C so much more fun. And you have an amazing time just building and developing projects. Very inspirational. Thank you so much for all you’ve done for the R/C community.

I think you can fly! All you need is a lightweight slowfly trainer model!

SCX24's rock. I was surprised by the range of the Jeep. Time to charge up and go play with mine.

drogue chute will keep it upright

Kimbrella flips over because of the shape parachutes are not flat on top but they have attachments all the way around with a circle you need a parachute without the metal brackets there’s been pushed to the sides that’s an umbrella designed to make water spread not a parachute for holding a pocket of air😮😂😂😂

You did an awesome job on your first flight Moose🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Great to see a new flyer on the channel again :)

You guys ever think about recreating a small scale "Vomit Comet". That view from inside the plane with the truck looking like it was floating gave me the idea. You could have various weight objects in the back to see how zero G affects them...

These RC crawlers are amazing, i have the same SCX24 but in the Turquoise Chevy C10 body. I have done so many upgrades on it haha

I love the Guinea pig, I built one a long time ago, I crashed that thing so many times and it just kept flying.

Made the mistake of building one from black foam board, oops on a warm day it fell apart ...white foam version in garage is holding up nicely

Just the umbrella cloth is enough for parachute

Nice Bullet Flag Hoodie! 👍👍

I was wondering if you can design a different nose for the plane and see how well it would work. The nose type that is similar to the boxcar/C-130. I wonder if that can give this plane a little more room for experiments?

Another truly enjoyable video. Now get Stephen a new beach umbrella

You guys are doing awesome. I have enjoyed watching FT develop over the years and the family grow. Also, have you guys considered making a Civil Air Patrol airplane?

Video idea: RC tour, you must drive as RC cars with support of RC cargo aircraft to Airlift to your destination, but it must all be done by RC- no human help

It would be great is you brang back the foldable plane kit

YESSS THE GUINEA PIG!!!

I want a vtol that can go from super fast like the dji fpv to flying normal and able to drop a rc car. So in theory you can fly you rc car to a place drop it and land or autopilot in a circle then switch to vtol and pick the rc car back up

We need sum1 like u guys in the uk . Maybe grt my hands on a few of yr kits then .

Would love to see a Last Starfighter quad, or maybe a Flight of the Navigator plane? love the channel!

Excellent buddy box tutorial and I enjoyed seeing a fresh face in your video. I miss the old gang, The swede, Chad, Peter.

Вы используете контроллер полёта для такого самолёта? Это же безумно дорого! У нас это редкость...

Challenger make the Opposite 0:35 put a plane and a car and take off with the plane and try to get the car into the cargo hold

Every since I was a kid in the '80s, I have wanted to make a weight-shift airplane.

Legends say guinea pig still hasn’t landed to this day

I've been subscribed for more than four years since I literally subscribe at least three months before you moved to your current spot glad to be here!

Maybe replace the metal in the umbrella with zip-ties.

the guinea is my fav plane definately wanna see more crazy stuff with it. its so versatile!!

Mini Guinea was my first FT build :)

Can you make a YF-22 raptor with the propellers In the plane In the sense that the air intake to engine area would be holo and probably have the engines be separate(but mainly can you make a YF-22 Raptor please)

Remember watching that video 4 years ago. Didn’t realise FT had grown so much

Oh Sky Van, if only you were here to see this. (RIP Sky Van)😞

I remember videos before that and many since then.

I was hoping I’d be able to use the plane to teach my 86 year old neighbor but I guess I can’t 😅

how do u get the curves in the foam board?

How about one of Joshua finn's folding gliders as cargo ?

It would be awesome if you guys could make some FPV RC skydivers 🪂

we want the pun jet!!!

Two questions: Is the Guineapig AUW under 1kg? And if so, how should weight be determined, by how much it weighs taking off with cargo or how much it weighs landing after the cargo has been dropped? 🤷‍♂️

now thats what you call a cargo get it? car go

Can u tell us the price of things as u go on a build like this and time. People wanna know what things like that cost. Kinda like a breakdown of it.

I have been with you, from the beginning, in the basement, and I bought the Guineapig when it came out, and I still have it 😊. I love it. I made a 9000mah 4s batteries out of 18650 sells and I can fly almost an hr on that, at half throttle😁. Got the punjet at the same time but I have totally forgot about it, so maby it's time to revisit it 😊. Thank you for all the good content and all the things you do for the flying community. Best regards from Norway 😊🇳🇴

Why can't you see that the umbrella is top heavy?

You dropped Matt's Offroad Recovery's Banana? Noooooo!

I quickly looked for the camera yall put on the Jeep but couldn't find it. If it's that simple, just plug in I would be interested in getting one maybe more. I zip tied my phone to my Deadbolt one time buts it was so bouncy - gave a headache to watch.

It’s these videos that I love
