On todays episode of understanding Flite Test: "Winter's coming in hot" = Winter weather is approaching quickly. "Back on the build train" = We have started building kits again. "Glue globulations" = A large amount of hot glue required to fix a broken airframe. "Nom noms" = Rubber bands/zip ties for repairing broken airframes? Lol love the vids guys! Finally ordered my Scout SBK and floats! Can't wait to get it together 👍

Barely built planes, Unstable aerodynamics, Fly Flat Out Challenge, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum (You decide which is which), Epic Confirmation that Steel Poles are Harder than Foam, this Vlog delivers seasonal fun and laughs. Great job guys. Here is wishing all of you and and your Flite Test Guys, Gals and Families the very best Christmas and Joyous New Year. My wishes for you in the New Year are continued success and increasing fun filled adventures.

I love to see FliteTest people flying FliteTest designs. I fly FT planes almost exclusively, and it's a blast to go out with a buddy, pass our transmitters back and forth and take turns trying to one-up each other. Or maybe we'll just play a game of catch, doing wingtip catches/launches with a Versa or Bloody Wonder or Tiny Trainer until we run out of either batteries or airframes. The joy of flying with friends is a real thing, and FliteTest does a great job capturing that.

You neeeeeeeeed to make a plane out of that LOOOOOOOONG tube inside the banner!!!!!!!!! LOL That would be great!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I'm told not all of my thoughts should be expressed. 8(... )

I agree! Same idea when I saw him

Alex & Stefan Dynamic Duo! The highest ratio of laughs per minute (LPM'S) You guys are the best period.

The arrows are honestly the best ft planes I have ever built I built 3 of them. (not that I've built alot) but I really like it. Its fun, durable, fast, and easy to build. I don't like the battery door though seems to always come unlatched during flying and there's not alot of space inside for battery.. But never the less I love it. Keep up the good work ft!

looks like it flies like a cow in a tornado.

You guys are getting crazier every episode and having more fun exponentially - love it!! This was so fun to watch. 😆👍🏼

You gotta love Stefan laughing,he just brings a smile to your face. Even better slowed down in his 'demonic' voice.

do you think you guys could make a dc-3, its a really iconic plane from world war 2 and id think it be really cool to see in RC form

That was some serious fun. I had tears in my eyes from laughing. Awesome video.

That drone footage with your dog at the end was one of the coolest snippets of film I have ever witnessed!

I used to be a fly hard pilot like you, but then I took an FT arrow to the knee :P

You guys seriously need to remove those poles 😭😂😂

That awkward moment you are trying to go to sleep and you get that Flite Test notification. Also, now you need to make the banner box fly.

I would like to see scale FPV builds and techniques. As in, the Mustang with a scale FPV setup giving the mid-wing over the cowling cockpit view that a real pilot would have.

Haha, the box would be a fun challenge to make a fuselage with!

One of the best crashes in flitetest history comming in on 11:56

insane crash you madman....love the dog footage!

You two had me laughing great video guys, and happy holidays

These vlogs with Alex and Stefan always have me in tears. Hilarious.

Always answer wifey! Good job hahaha Those dang poles! Lol

A Man, a Mavic, and his dog. Love that ending. Mei vs Max who has better flight-line/hanger manners?

Hahahaha I love you guys!!! Hahahah I laugh almost all videos so entertaining and you guys are so cool I am so blessed I was able to meet you and hang for a day! Never a dull moment. Your doing awesome! And Stephan ur such a gymnast! Lol

love the LAUGH !!! ALSO, DOG running in SNOW ! playin all happy

you two have the most infectious laughter. thanks for the giggles .

The joy on that pupp running around at the end warmed my heart.

Lots of laughs in this one.. Great episode guys..

awesome video✈

I find it funny that Alex said “Oh No!!!!” When he still has time to save himself!

Great vid guys

You guys completely killed my desire to build the arrow. My wife thanks you.

Cold and very windy here. I can deal with the snow and cold but the wind is tough. I enjoyed your video, you guys rock.

I laughed out loud when Alex hit the pole the second time

good job guys, i want to start flying planes so this is the channel to watch, awesome job

You guy's should race the arrows through the woods. Thanks FliteTest for awesome Vlogs! :)

That was awesome hahaha

I love watching the antics coming from you guys. You can make anything fly!!! Watching you guys unbox your sponsor banners gave me an idea.... Make the banner box fly!! Like a rocket or vector motor. With enough angle of attack, you could do it!!!!

I'm working on designing plans for the Grumman f6f hellcat and Mitsubishi A6m Zero (my first warbird) and they would make great foam board airplanes, maybe even a way to test retracts that you could put in future builds.

I'm on the floor over here, that wing hit something and it was still in the air lmao

I want to see Stefan and Alex build the SE5a and Dr1 and fight them in the back yard. That would be epic. You guys are great!

Yay another fly as hard challenge!!!

Awesome job guys.

I'd bingewatch a series of you guys building a large scale WIG like the Caspian Sea Monster! One that could fire model rockets from the tubes and everything!

Lol always answer for the wife!!! 😂

the slo mo bits are great!

awesome episode.... poor wing ;)

Great video! Keep it up guys

You guys are awesome, great fun video!

I already told Austin this, but everyone builds their own ft 3d with fpv setups and then run an rc red bull air race. It's has to be at the shop, and each plane has an onboard lap time sensor. Add the flag poles as a slalom section and a Paradigm PPG pylon into the course and you have yourselves a challenge!

Great episode! Even though I helped people at Flite Fest West build them I haven't actually built one myself yet it looks like a fun little plane.

hahaha stefan and his wife. love you guys

Love the video awesome

Alex!! 😂😂 ESC poopin?! Hahaha!!!

The Arrow is one of my favorite FT planes!

slo-mo Stefan laugh is the best

Watching this again makes me realize how fast you guys got so far!

I wish I could go fly outside, without freezing to death... On a side note, fast and low is one of the must fun combinations possible with an RC plane!

THAT WAS GREAT!!!! I love your channel, I love hyper power and like to keep it exciting!

flite test cub comes in the mail today, my little brother is going to have the best Christmas ever.

It seems like it was yesterday when you guys put a Christmas tree on a quad. Man time flys...

Aha! Classic VLOG shenanigans. I hope Stefan called back!

Nice flying👍👍

That was brilliant. That's how most of my challenges end 👍

Hi great video guys!!

Working at FT looks like the dream job! I bet you guys stay in after work just to fly in the FT field! XD

Woah that’s some crazy wind or really high rates! Alex, about 102 vlog’s ago you did air to air shots from 2015. Think you could throw together some 2017 archived footage, love seeing your guys’ air to air videos.

The Arrow is, by far, my favorite FliteTest plane!!

LOL, that was funny 😂

Alex, aka, "Sunkmanitu Tanka Ob Waci"... Dances with wolves. Lol

12:03 at this moment he knew he trucked up

Lmao 😂 Great 👍 vid. Do more like this one please.!! 😎👍✌🏼🎄

you guys are crazy. I love it Do it again Chuck

Build two of those and double stack them like a biplane. Great video as always

Nut's-house... well done!

The banner box would be a great fuselage. Hey who put that pole there? LOL

Love you 10 minutes. :D

Hey guys! I'd love to see a triple threat pilot challenge! 1 pilot has 1 axis to control either a plane or drone... and perform tricks and things... it would be a team game with 3 per side. Chur from New Zealand! Shout out to NZ fans on your next vlog!

LOL at the ending

i still love the slowmo laughs

I want a compilation of 100% Stefan laughing

FT Super Bee build between you two!!!! and fly hard

14:18 The dog's about to get tackled but it fakes Alex out, and scores!

When did Alex become a madman? Great vid!

This was awesome. How small and light a flying wing can you make?

Just checking on my request I made earlier this year, about a yf-23 and p-82 twin mustang. How’s it coming along guys, I can’t wait hate what amazing plane it would look like. I realy hope y’all have another flight fest south because I’d love to go, I hope u guys have a wonderful Christmas and keep up the good original work 👌🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

hehe Cool and Stefan sound like Alex in the Slowmo Part Rofl

Thank you for these amazing with us I hope one day I can make my own plans as well and be able to attend your events thank you for inspiring me not to give up on the dream of this Hobby

Did you guys run to fix it and fly it again?

That was an awesome crash brother

Flite test guys please design unswept mini wing for fpv based on diff. thrust like the super bee. I need a simple small build that's gonna do crazy speed like a quad and having some yaw. 4s stuff please ;) Take it as winter challenge or make it then challenge a quadcopter on a simple track. Nice video btw!

Jealous, not of your arrows but that your still able to fly! The onset of winter has brought on non stop gales and rain and in some parts major snow here in the UK, haven't been able to fly my planes or helis for well over a week so far and having major withdrawals!

FIX THAT WING :) I've ripped my Arrow apart so many times ;)

Correction, that was the best fly hard challenge ever. 😛

The reason it flies like that is NOT the vertical stabilizers. You signed my Combat arrow, and it had massive amounts of that. Also, stefans is much stronger, due to having no pod, because the spar goes all the way through the middle. I'm the arrow master-I have built 300% arrows, 30% arrows that didn't actually fly, 1 regular arrow, 1 with sheet metal on the wings that was overpowered, 1 that had no cutout in the back and no pod, and 1 with no cutout in the back and no pod but with motors arranged like a kraken.
