Sometime in 2021 I'd love to see an easy DIY aircraft carrier catapult launching device/system. Excellent work with your flying glider inexpensive and so much fun!

Fact you're rocking TKOR merch still after all these years still warms my heart man keep up the great attitude

1:09 begins the most satisfying 8 seconds. My OCD happily approved.

I forgot all about this type of aircraft. Me and my brother used to build these back in the 60s after we destroyed our balsa wood rubber band airplanes and use the props to propel the aircraft. And see how far you have taken this to. Thanks for bringing back some very memorable moments.

Love the simplicity of the two motor/thrust differential setup, can make just about anything fly!

Awesome concept--sort of like a hybrid kite and rc plane. Super simple to replace when damaged, thumbs up

Great Job. I built my first Rogallo Hang glider out of Bamboo and 6 mil plastic when I was 12 years old. Then Aluminum Tube and Nylon fabric at 16. A year ago I found an Old "Wing Thing" from 1962 in the original box that was free flight, Nitro powered. Have reconfigured it to Electric and added RC servos to a Rudder and Nose elevator. Works Great. Fun to Fly. Keep up the great work. A1.

I used to do this with the Airhogs Aero Ace biplanes. When the bipes got too heavy from repairs I’d make a paper airplane, paper hang glider, other foam and balsa rubber band models and anything I could find, really. 20 years ago I thought I was a mad scientist. Watching this video really brings back memories of my childhood

Mom: NO FLYING IN THE HOUSE! Josh: But Maw, it`s my house...;-)

Josh is such a glorious top notch dork.

Love quick projects like this. Gets me excited to use my own EZ pack.

Awesome build, Bixler! Thanks for including plans. I’ll use this in my class this spring.

Now this is the kind of FT video I lile best, just casual fub with planes

Always fun watching you have fun. I've been playing with a giant version (150%) of the FT Bushwacker. She's almost done! You have definitely got me hooked on this hobby.

This is what I’ve always liked, your xperiments and enthusiasm. Thanks.

Josh it's nice to see you getting back to simple aviation with this build. However if you had made this one a true weight shift control plane it might not have gotten tossed around quite as much.

Sr-71 speedbuild kit!

I did this in junior high school using 2 umbrella framework pieces covered with plastic shopping bags a string tied from front to back with a weight tied to the string with a wire wrapped around the string so that the weight can be moved and it would stay for flight adjustment. When tossed off of the Hillside the fact that weight was free swinging was somewhat of an autopilot freeflight control system. I never made one radio-controlled though these are my years of the free fight exploration.

Happy New Year!!! Your jovial, positive attitude is what is so valuable at the start of 2021. Blessings on the whole crew.

Very nice to see another super-accessible RC idea.

This video got my attention cause what you build is a hangglider. Nice work. Thanks for sharing!

Happy New Year Flite Test!

Love how excited he still gets when first testing if a model glides !!

Amazing job my friend Josh keep flying every day thanks for free plans

Josh -- you show great inspiration in your videos. I discovered the Rogallo wing design over 40 years ago when I use to live on a boat and built kites for a hobby. For about three dollars worth of materials, I could build a stunt kite that could go about 60 mph and crash in and out of the water without problems. I would link the sticks together with plastic tubing and tape plastic fabric over the wings. Currently, I have about seven kite models in my room -- and all of them are very similar to the Rogallo design. However, all of them have a boat shaped payload that is fixed to the overhead kite using sticks and plastic tubing. The length of all the sticks used in these models are scaled to the 5/8 "Golden Section" concept -- and the CG payload point is at the 5/8 mark. The differential thrust idea located outwards from the CG payload point is the secret that make the design work so well. The design uses a total 90 degree spread -- or 45 degree per wing. Any greater or lesser wing angle can result in poor performance -- or serious instability. Moreover, if the wings have too much or too little "pocket shape", the craft can also result in poor performance -- or serious instability. I believe this "A shape aircraft" design has ancient origins -- and also believe it will be the shape of the most simplest portable aircraft in our future. For more information about the aircraft design I'm referencing -- please visit my spiritofatlantis.com website. Again, great episode!

I made a Rogallo wing RC using plastic soda straws and a plastic shopping bag. I hung a clipped wing indoor foamy (a P-51) underneath with rudder/elevator/motor control and it flies quite well.

Best intro in FliteTest history

Epic simple build! Thanks Josh Ozzborne!!!

🔴 What Is Islam? ⚠️ 🔴 Islam is not just another religion. 🔵 It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham. 🔴 Islam literally means ‘submission to God’ and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God. 🔵 It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone. 🔴 It also teaches that God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine. 🌍 The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as: 📖 { “Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.”} (Quran 112:1-4)[4] 📚 🔴 Becoming a Muslim is not turning your back to Jesus. 🔵 Rather it’s going back to the original teachings of Jesus and obeying him.

I just bought the ft spitfire as my first build third plane and I'm so excited

Brings back memories... I used to make Rogallo hangliders out of wooden dowels and tissue paper. My brother had one in the 70’s and I copied it, right down to using thread for guy wires between triangular control and king post. They flew great!

That intro was great. I needed that laugh after all this turmoil in the world.

This is 💜HANG-GLIDER💜aerodynamic 👍creates 2 circular streams 😊

Been wanting to make an RC ragala wing for a while. Thanks for working out all the balance and proportions.

The simpler the better👍 Love this awesome looking build😍

OPRN Nice to see another unusual but very simple project! I built a larger version several years ago and suspended my Sig Kadet Seniorita under it with floats. Flew great off water too! I love these Rogallo wings!

You guys have too much fun! Bought a ton of LW PLA, I am going to have some fun with some projects I've been dreaming up!

It's a Rollego Wing! This was developed initially for the Gemini program - specifically "Blue Gemini." This was a USAF version of the Gemini spacecraft that would land on a runway instead of in the ocean. Unfortunately, there were some major technical issues with deployment. However, this led to the initial ultralight aircraft market.

I actually had a rogallo wing hang glider in 1984 that cost $100 used. I also made some models and quickly figured out that the billow was what gave it directional stability instead of a rudder and vertical stabilizer. Make these, it's great learning experience! Great job FT!

Great stuff. Looks perfect for my STEM club. Thanks.

Awesome job Josh love it.

The fact that you guys do S. T. E. M. at the schools is awesome!

Josh's happyness when stuff flies is incredebly inspiring.

Yes finally. I have been dying to see another video!

Crazy Glider! Ha ha ha ha. The reference is from the beginning of the vid, but this thing is pretty cool. I think I'll scrap some drones I have and make a Glider. Awesome vid!

It's like a mix of a kite a paper plane and an rc plane, so awesome !

So cool. Love your adventures with flight. Happy new Year! :)

I am going off the rails like a crazy train!!!!

Did anyone else notice that he's wearing the king of random merch

Keep up the greate work guys! With your opensource work - you do realy make the world a better place!

i was really hoping to see you guys do more with slow flyers. this is a cool start.

Unbelievable glide ratio! My Rogallo wing hang glider from the seventies had a 4 to 1 gr.

Love the videos!! I just finished my Simple Scout project a couple of weeks ago, first successful FT plane and scratch built RC plane in general!

Beautiful an2 in background I’d love to see it fly

Josh 3am and this Old Man from North Carolina as always loving your video. Just awesome the things you dream up. Been following y'all from almost day 1. Love you guys. ✈️😎💝

We used to build flexible boost gliders for NAR contests. The three spars are spring loaded in the front. They use a rocket with no nose cone they are ejected at apogee and glide forever.

A directional thrust flex wing? SO COOL. Awesome that you came across Rogollo and NASA's Parasev in research. You say "...facination with hang gliders..."? welcome to our world. Hope to fly HG with you some day. Thanks for sharing.

Happy New Year FliteTest! I wish you a good year, Matei

Brilliant... Happy New Year Guys 👍👍👍

I miss seeing David, Peter, and Other Josh on this show. But this show still entertains me to no end, so keep up the great work!

Great job Josh, that was fun!

Very cool you mentioned the NASA tests with the Gemini capsules using Rogallo wings. You did good research! Actually a Flite Test foamboard Gemini capsule with a bigger Rogallo might be fun. Nasa also designed a skid landing gear arrangement and tried it on the Rogallo test capsules.

I am getting into the hobby and really like it because I like to engineer things

I have made numerous gliders from Styrofoam egg carton lids. I used a penny on the nose to get the CG right. I always thought that if you could get the electronics small enough you could power one. A bottle rocket will power one for a short flight, but usually results in just a bunch of quick loops.

Love the way he’s wearing a king of random hoodie.[been watching him since I was like 6 or 7 lol I’m now almost 17.]

I love it. Videos like this are why I subscribed.

Good one, Josh!

Thanks for all you do and for sharing with the community! BTW I had to watch that intro about a dozen times! ... :-)

This Man Is Living His Life. That's something far more of us need to aspire to!

Please revisit past FliteTest designs: build them, remember the good times you've had with the model, comment on what you would do differently today (RC has come a long way), fly them, modify them, link to original episodes and maybe better choices. This would be helpful and wonderful. You all got me into this hobby. Thanks.

That AN-2 cameo has me interested.

Yes a new video!

Years ago I bought a RC hang glider that had a pusher prop on it. Turning was achieved by a cervo that would tilt the kite left to right

I live in Prescott by Embry Riddle Aeronautical University. You guys need to be in this area with what you do. I only fly quads but love your Chanel. Keep up the great work guys🤙🏻

Black Sabbath a tope!!! Crazy Plane.

Awesome idea

You guys are awesome!!

Lol now you need to super size it!🤣🤣🤣

Thats really neat.

wow.. nice josh 👍

That was fun!

This is such a cool idea.

I’d like to see y’all build a C130 with Estes rocket engines strapped to it like the blue angels c130 with JATO rockets. Then do a boosted takeoff. It will be hard to control on such a small scale but could be really cool to see a plane with such an accelerated climb profile on a small scale. Then put a Traxxas T-Maxx in the cargo hold, have a door that opens up and releases the traxxass out the back with a parachute, once the T-Maxx is on the ground it initiates a land to air race, first vehicle to make to to the furthest green on the course wins, the C-130 has to land on said green though. You’ll either have to have the truck running upon takeoff or find a way to start it up in flight, which they have electric ignition now so that may be possible

You guys should try attaching an action from a paintball gun to plane models and dogfighting with them. The planes have to be real sturdy for all that movement tho.

Great product guys. I was thinking, it would be kind of cool to see windage flags in some of your videos to have a visual of what the winds are doing. Obviously, they would probable take a toll to the weather exposure but pink flagging is a cheap option for lower winds. We use them all the time with the Forest Service.

Rc Ultralight, pretty cool

great idea.... paper is ok but the metallic Christmas films are better and they dont fall apart when they get wet.. I used some to recover a vapour wing, which made it nice and bright as a Christmas flier..

I was doing those with plastic trash bags and wire hangers. Nice work keep going.

Wow it is amazing I love it!
