Congratulations Flight Test! Great way to show how starting by building and designing RC planes can lead to so much more! It is not just a toy, but a learning tool that can lead to some great careers. Keep up the amazing work!

Very impressive!! You all worked as a team and it paid off. Hope you give it another go next year!

🔴 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. More .....👇 🔴 THE RETURN OF JESUS

So many good builders tried but FliteTest just simply nailed it.

Congrats on 500,000 subs! Looking forward to seeing more ludicrously good FliteTest content!!!

you guys should put a tiled plan of the rib section on your site for download, that would be awesome

brilliant flying.

That was awesome, great job on the build

KILLED IT! CONGRATS!

Love what you guys do. Keep up the great work.

I still want a speed build kit of this, I also want David Winstall to mount rockets on it

Ya'll failed to mention you WON!!!! Nice job. I hadda go watch the whole thing.

OMG I learned a lot from this video, THANKS. I did not know how simple it is. Again thanks

Very impressive ............. great work .

I've been toying with using honeycomb cardboard in place of foam for larger scale aircraft as it is about the same weight as foam, or marginally lighter, but it is way more rigid. Slicing it span wise and also build in the aerofoil shape so the wing skin becomes a rigid surface

You guys are amazing

You came back. Thanks guys

Hihi.... Totally awesome how Josh tries to pronounce Flugtag. I really love the insight-videos! Keep it up!!

Nice job!!! Congratulation...

Awesome video. Congrats again on winning.

Simply brilliant.....

I left this channel about a year ago, I decided to take a look at how its been, well let's just say these guys should earn another 1 million subscribers!!!!

Congrats on 500k!

You guys are awesome! Well done. Full size rc build now please!

this is awesome guys!!!

OK now this need's to be made RC..

You guys should have used clear mono-coat, its lighter than the dyed stuff.

What's the mono coat ?

Awesome!

Sick a little Honda engine on it and cruise around.

Amazing!

You guys are awesome for sharing your methodologies to everyone, including next year's competition. Are multi-wings allowed? I think you could achieve much more effective wing area in a smaller span with a bi or tri-plane. You probably can reduce weight using and school tension wires instead of a cantilevered wing. cables are draggy, but that won't hurt you much at the low speeds. Of course you guys used building techniques that you use daily. it is amazing how quickly you put it all together. Victory at Flugtag after hosting a world record achieving Flite Fest. You guys are amazing. Keep it coming!

Even though, for me, it takes a long time just to build aFt style planes, i can't help but want to build balsa/ rib and srick stick style planes one day. All the structures and shapes are just so..., nostalgic.

Way to show those guys how it's done!

wauw so coool thanks for sharing

I can always trust +FliteTest to do flugtag properly!

Because the wing is always in stall on that plane, I'd make the horizontal stab full flying. It will grab more air just before he hits the water and get some more distance. Some version of Horner tips on the wings will help too. Great job !!!

I bet this will be awesome if you put a motor n it.... Great work guys

i was there! i had no idea that that plane was yours, but I knew it was going to go well!

So I really hope you guys are going to rebuild that thing and fly it again. Maybe this time off a higher cliff so you can actually fly it around a bit.

How much did the wing weigh? The whole plane? That wing worked very well - very stiff, no sign of bending or twisting. Scaling things up can be the biggest challenge, but I think you guys nailed it.

Great distance, good airfoil. But, I NEED to know if this glider wings will actually fly further than your Flugtag flight.

devwing???? yeaaaa finally my 1000 inquiries answered thankssssssss

Sweet!, now make it RC. Im sure Peter will have some good ideas about how to do that.

How many aircraft engineers do you have working there? Simply amazing. Geekin out ova heeyuh.

Australia has this at Moomba called the birdman rally! last 30-40? years looks like great fun, you blokes put a lot of $$$ into yours!

Some of us are waiting for FT to do something Giant Scale. Not sure if this qualifies. ;) You were starting to generate some good lift there. :)

Well done Flite Test and Rotor Riot "FLITE-RIOT" for 1st place RED BULL FLUGTAG BOSTON AUGUST 20TH, 2016

Great job and video. If you save weight it would have flown a lot further. The box spar could have been hollowed out towards the wing ends, saving a bunch of weight, increasing the launch speed.

sooo cool

Cool! The jump from R/C to hang gliders/ultralight sailplanes isn't that huge is it?

flugtag in german literally means flight day if my school boy german is right.

If you decide to try this again, run a sheet of your covering from the tip of the wing to the front of the tail. As long as your pilot can keep his feet out of the water, he can use ground effects to stay aloft longer.

Can you please explain why you chose that aerofoil . And could it not be possible to get more speed on take off ?

Wow half a million subscribers!

I think you can make one that will fly even further! Will you be in the contest again?

hey flite test can you explain in a video how the wings must twist for the plane to turn

Lots I blood and sweet went into it I can tell. Great work on designing it! Maybe next year you'll do better if u do it! Again great job! Just keep doing what your doing it's a great channel for rc lovers!

Amazing 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Just read in the comments that you won both overall and people's choice...that's awesome! Just imagine how far you could have gone with more velocity at take off?

Is there software where I input the requirements for a wing in what it would do in my plane, and the software would give me good dimensions and a shape?

nice| great job like

he says at 2:35 it's called DevWing.

+FliteTest: What is the rear boom made out of? Fiberglass or carbon fiber?

So is the spar on this solid wood or plywood paneling with a foam core?

Es una pena, pues ese diseño podria volar en ladera o termica sin ningun problema... Good video.

NICE! Where can I get the wing profile diagram?

I know you said no plans...but you could do a mini version, something the size of a chuck glider and it could be the focus of a STEM project for schools to have their own Flutag, making gliders to carry a specifically weighted payload (something like a teddy bear or Alex's gorilla....)

Dear FliteTest, Over the past few months I have saved enough money to build one of these, and I am having a little trouble finding out how to make the wing template you used to cut out the foam. Everything else I have with me, but I cannot start the project without a template. if you could tell me where to find the dimensions of the template that would be great. I already tried DevWing but it does not work for macs sadly Thanks!

Does this fall under FAA part 103 for under 155 pounds for a unpowered ultralight? 🤔 Great work guys!

I really want to build one of these! Any suggestions? Especially how to make the spar template as I do not have a laser cutter.

Please motorize this! i want to see it so badly! At least at some point you guys need to make an easy to build full scale plane, that would be super cool.

Im still going to make one of these. What is the plastic sheet you wrapped around the wings? You said it was monocoat but monocoat is a liquid that protects the floors. Thanks!

MonoKote.

I'm just asking, but what would it take to mount an engine to this and make it fly?

Would the plane fly if you took it off something much higher?

You better get super eletric motors and RC this thing asap!

Can you guys create a mini f4f Wildcat or P-40e-1

Could you have used a delta wing or a bi-plane set up ?

Try flying it from a big hill i wonder how far you guys would come then

Darn no speed build kit! Need you turn it into a powered ultralight!

Curious how much the thing weighed fully assembled?

how many rolls of covering did you use for the whole craft?

would like to see you rc that thing

Could you make this powered? And would it be Part 103 compliant?

Are you guys going to do a video on the new 210 quadcopter frame?

I have not seen a Flite Test product without review and build video. So the chances are pretty high :).

It would be nice to hear from Chad what it was like to fly it. Also, what did you learn from the flight. 100% success? Could it have flown further if your did X Y or Z. Thanks,

I wonder if Rotor Riot will put up an episode on this too?

Here's what I want you to do: Hire a parachuter. Drop him from an air baloon sitting in this thing. He glides for a bit and then bails and parachutes safely to the ground. That would be awesome.

Flugtag is German (but also used in Swissgerman and Austrian) and means Flightday. PS Congrats for 500k subs!!!!!!!

Where do you find 1/2 inch thick foam??? Thank you, Matthew

are you going to turn it into an rc after the flutag?
