Just had a really hard long day of jobs, get home and its great to just watch flitetest at 11pm. Even just watching on my phone, i could easily have watched this if it was 2 or 3 times longer!

I want to thank you guys , I get a lot of ideas from you . There needed to be a poor guys channel for RC and if you have the basics most of your builds can be built for under $100 and I think that will get more new people into RC than anything else . When you go online and everything is from $300 to $3000 , sure takes the wind out of your wings if you know what I'm saying . Thanks and keep up the great work , love your videos .

wish i had a friend to fly with like u guys yal seem like good people, theres not to many good people left in this world. u flight test guys rock

Well i live in finland and don't know anyone but myself who is remotley interested in RC stuff.

My favorite part: "Lets talk about some maneuvers here, you can do loops... *wing folds* You can fold the wings" Josh says in a calm voice like nothing happened. Would love to see more of you guys flying together :)

I think this is the best episode so far.. The dynamic is so nice. Thank you Flite Test.

Watching this 26 nov 2017 and its still great to watch the basic planes. Good job FT.

Hearing David’s voice in this video made me shed a few tears!😢😭

Perfect timing, just got home from school!

Very nice plane and episode! Looks like real fun. Also nice beard David :D

Yep! This is definately on my "NEXT" list to build...! Just completed the Old Fogey, and have built the Bloody Baron, Simple Cub and the Simple Soarer (after making the "3-in-1-Starter" planes).

also its been an hour and dave mentioned the podcast is out AND ITS TOTALLY NOT OUT WAAAAA :,( i always download it right away and listen to it, its such a great podcast! that reminds me, i will go give it 5 stars on itunes now, as it deserves.

We want alex more often!

Now your almost at 200k!! Nice work!!

Thank you flitetest for all you do for the hobbie. My son and I live on opposite sides of the world but watch all your videos together.

I have been asked for a little more information so here it is. My son is 16, he lives in Wyoming. I live in Nha Trang Vietnam. I have been in the hobby since he was a baby. He used to sit and hold balsa sticks for me while we built kits together. We strayed from the hobby for years while we pursued other hobbies like hunting, fishing and target shooting. In December of 2012 my so gravitated towards RC flight. I bought him a simulator and a Park Zone Trojan after time on the simulator. After crashing his Trojan after several successful flights he turned to the best beginner ̣IMOĐ plane available.............the Super Cub. He not only learned to fly but excelled. Within a few months I put him onto a Visionaire. He quickly learned to hover and fly 3D. Then onto war birds which he mastered. Now thanks to flitetest videos he has built several scratch build FT airplanes ̣which he shares with all interested. He has built many kits as well to include the Tower Uproar and mini Telemaster. My son no flies FPV with a Bixler â ̣of courseĐ and a go pro. I took my gopro to the sea and he takes his to the skies. We share each others videos and experiences over youtube and while we skype each other we watch every new and many past episodes of flitetest. Again I want to thank flitetest for your incredible work especially the emphasis on father and sons. You are an inspiration and blessing to many.

awesome video once more - and as always great products! Keep up the great work!

Holy crap, I used to live in Medina, funny to hear a town name that you recognize, they use to have a big go-kart race back in the day.... every time I watch one of these I ponder fixing my Trex, but I just can't bring myself to completely redo everything.

I am going to have to get this. I love the look of the old SP. Very nice job guys!

Did you guys get a new microphone? Audio sounds really good.

great show guys!

Great vid as always guys!

Awesome work!

"Never fly alone". Preach it brother. Thumbs up.

Hey guys I have an interesting thought for a crazy custom build. I actually thought of this when I was doing yard work. Leaf blowers. crazy and helpful inventions right? They provide a whole lot of thrust (I think mine does like 216 mph) so I thought, if you can make a cinderblock fly, would it be possible to make a battery powered leaf blower fly, using the leaf blower as kind of a jet thrust? I'm sure David could figure something out in order to turn the intake to make it work. I've seen a lot of cool crazy stuff from you guys, but using a household object for your thrust would be insane!

That is such a cool idea. Please do a video on this Flite Test

@Yosef9438

10 жыл бұрын

Essentially, that would be a EDF (electronic ducted fan). For one, EDFs get lower thrust than open prop planes. Second, leaf blowers are usually plugged into a 120V or 240V outlet, something that would be entirely impossible to replicate with battery packs.

@engineeredlifeform

Psuffix Toasters and blenders are usually plugged into a wall socket too, and FliteTest made both work on battery power, in flight. So if anybody can, they can :-)

Psuffix And he specifically said "battery" leaf blowers. perhaps like the black and decker lswv36. But i agree this is just a heavy ducted fan, better of to start with an rc ready ducted fan. Unless your talking about radio controlled leaf blowing, sounds fun.

@DFX2KX

10 жыл бұрын

well. you'd have to modify the heck out of it, but it's in theory possible. Leaf blowers produce airflow, but not thrust (the difference is subtle, but it's a difference none the less) you'd have to alter the blower chamber pretty significantly.

Is it just me, or does this channel keep getting awesome(r)?

Wow, I love the episodes with alex!

yep, gonna make one, thanks for the desing :D !

Josh,Alex, David & Chad; The Ft Old Speedster looks like it's really fun to Fly ! Thanks for the Video !

Great plane, and awesome video!

Nice and thank you for taking one for the team! did it hurt?

My wife and I want to build our first planes - a Fogey or Speedster and we like the look of the speedster. Any reason one is better than the other?

In my experience with quads, flying alone is where you improve. Flying with friends is where you show off and break stuff. I'd much rather fly with friends though because then you have someone to help you rebuild your plane afterwards. However, the first few times up in the air are intimidating when you have friends around, and flying line of site with multirotors while your friends are going, "awwww, did you see that?" is a good way to lose your copter in the air. With fixed wings, you can look away for a second and then find your plane pretty quick, but there are still going to be times where you look back, your plane is going towards the ground and you don't have the reaction time to find out orientation and react. Flying alone with no distractions is a good way to get down the basics.

longer videos please...... I watched this video 3 times already and im going on my forth .

Congrats on 100k subscribers!!! but you should still build a swappable with canards

These are beautiful.

We are watching you fondly, we want an indoor plan, Please make people happy

Working my way through your videos. Wondering if you do a special dual kit. Say with differing coloured decals. For a proper two person build two person fly thing. Yep I could buy all that separately but it'd be a good idea for a special offer for example. Maybe pack in a few coloured streamer rolls just for extra fun.

Hello, wow nice deal :) :) thanks flite test for your work really nice and fun. Best Regards

Long time viewer/subscriber here (ever since the breaking glass episode or so), I have been wanting to get into rc planes for a while. I fly heli's and have got to the point where to get a new helicopter or work on my old ones it's quiet expensive. So I figure I would dive into the other realm of rc aircraft! I just finished buying the 3 pack swappable kit and am pretty sure i got everything else i needed on hobbyking ordered. I already had a speed controller . . . actually i had 8 that would work. yeah i went through a multi-rotor phase for a while. o.O In 1-2 weeks i'm gonna be airborne again!! Wish me luck.

Would this make for a great front yard flyer? Need something for the kids to learn to fly..... was considering the magnum but love the Flite Test family!!

This plane looks awesome! Do you guys think you will get to the planes from the September update? Some of those looked really cool.

Does the old fogey use the beef power pod? Great videos please do a build of the old fogey please Dave

I just like you guys. Great job!

could you do a video on the construction of the slow fly wing used on the fogey? I've tried this wing design many times and it never works.

Very nice guys. The speedster looks very cool :) Thanks for another great video. ...now it's podcast time for me..

Can you guys please make a video on how to build a power pod for the ft-3d?

Hi Guys! love ur stuff. Please do a review or something of the Dynam 4-CH Sky Trainer. It looks like quite a good plane but I am still not 100% sure if I should get it.

Will a 2200 3s battery be to much load on the wings? and what size prop should I get?

Looks like fun. I dont really get the "keeps you from having to worry about ailerons" part though. For 3 channel I would give up rudder in favor of aileron because I think bank and yank is easier and makes the plane more capable, while 3ch rudder is awkwardness and limits the plane. Could be just myself and a couple buddies though.

those "wheelpants" are a littl cheezy looking.

very cool! i have a flying buddy and it makes a big difference....he's got bigger planes and helicopters than me!!!!

Is it any good flying in a bit of wind outside

The Old Speedster look like a beautifull version of a Acro Magnum Reloadet from miniprop

Alex seems like really cool guy, should do one of those background videos with him. How long has he been flying?

What size prop and motor should I use?

good aircraft!!!

Sweet!

So cute RC plane. I like it.

will you be doing a build video?

What is the name for the podcast I couldn't find it

nice look david

it would be awsome if david started selling FT stuff at his shop in sweden

Great video guys! But why call it the Speedster when it's a slow plane? why not the Old Slowster?

So, whatever happened to Alex? Haven't seen him in any of the latest Flite Test videos.

Can u do a build video on the kraken

you gis should putt two wings together then two bodies together then fly?

I wanna see what you would build with that wicked Variable pitch 3D plane that wasposted to flitetest gremlin

hey could u try to make another biplane besides the baby blender i think it would be cool to have a twin engine biplane

For us metric people 37.5 is around 96.5cm. With regards to clubs having a bad name I know what you mean. I wanted to get into the hobby a few years ago so I went to my local club and everything was fine but I felt like an outsider.. Anyway just before my turn on the trainer some other guy just had to show off and smash right into the trainer... I never go to fly, it was that moment when I realized they were jerks and just wanted to dick around instead of welcoming young blood onto the hobby... Years later I got my self a bixler and taught my self from there, the first couple of flights were reversed sticks on my controller as I didnt have the USB cable to swap it... epic fun. Thanks guys for promoting the hobby, hopefully clubs wake up and take the younger guys under their wing as they are the future of the hobby.
