No need for any of that, because the front would be hard to deal with. Not too mention, the ft p51 looks great when covered with aluminum tape

I feel ya. These guys were the highlight of my week post Harvey the Hurricane. I was doing clean up and hassling with insurance and FEMA and the Flite Test crew and a few other notables on KZread were my hour or two of break time from a really tough time. They kept me laughing and SANE . These little videos mean alot to people.

I intend to build one of these. I was lucky enough to solo on my 16th birthday in the same 150 that my dad soloed in on his 16th birthday. My grandpa taught people to fly in it when it was new. N6762G was destroyed in a hangar collapse but I have one piece of it on my 150. I can't wait to build and fly one of these models.

I learned in several sesnas from the 150 up to the 182. Used to fly with my dad quite a bit. We actually had a Jodel F-11A that we were building. Waited over 2 years to get the wing kit shipped to us which took its toll financially and dad ended up donating it to the local EAA chapter

I’ve been really looking forward to this! I’m currently in flight training and I fly the Cessna 150 on a regular basis. I tell everyone it’s a phenomenal trainer aircraft (so long as the weather’s nice of course :) ). Seeing it fly like the real Cessna 150 made my day and I’m definitely gonna build one! Thanks flite test team and Ben Harper!

I flew the cessna 150 it was bouncy as heck on a windy day. I now fly the cessna 172 that does better with wind. I was waiting for this build.

Finally an FT Cessna! With the new build techniques.

Yup, gonna build it! Thanks Ben and FT crew!

That is the best low level , in and around tree , under walk-way bridge flying i have ever seen

This is going to be fun to build and fly. Great job Ben and FliteTest crew!

Anything Ben is doing has my attention. The back history of this model is great. Looks beautiful in the air. In the video, that P-47 fuselage on the wall in the background is beautiful. OK! second story "carrier landings" in the bay doors of FT World Head Quarters. Breakout the Corsairs, no bolters. Cat shot table aimed out the balcony

I love the commuter. My dads friend has one and one of my favorite planes. I am learning how to fly on it and it is so fun. My dad has a stationair with g1000 and can’t see that well on so it is hard to learn on. The 150 is also just more fun for training and has actual guages and easier to fly. I can also fly left seat in the 150 because my dad is not comfortable right seat and his friend is a trainer. I will probably paint this like his.

Love it. Can’t wait to build this.

I need 6 of these in my life .. what a awesome design! Thanks Ben/ ft 👍

Ahh. So this is the new Cessna build you were talking about

Love to build that beauty, can't wait to start

That is a nice looking foam plane, think this will push the simple cub out.

Possibly, but compared to other models it is still an easy build.

Cessna 150. First small plane I flew in. Typical commercial airlines only kid back then.

I’m a student pilot flying in a 150! This is perfect!

I like that tail silhouette. Looks like that classic 150/172 tail.

Absolutely LOVE it!! I was taught to fly on a 172, by my Dad... No longer with me. I can't wait to build and FLY this!!! I've actually been hoping for a Docile Flight, Tricycle Landing Gear type Aircraft. .... ANY chance of a larger version? (Simple Cub sized or bigger) I don't live in an area that often has calm winds. Thank you so much for this!! 👍👍 Carmine ✈🚂🚙

Glad to see the mini size.

haha good stuff. I soloed in a 150 that was older than me by a couple of years. I only fly models now... but will not forget time in that cessna!

Love the 150!!!

Oh yeah finaly FT Cessna 🤙🤘

Awesome to all the grandpa's......love flight test...

I love that plane. Y'all should make one with floats

Yeaaaah. I soloed in an orange Australian 152 - good times.

Great camera shots following the Cessna. Looks like it would last longer than the one's that you crash. Ouch!

The first time I remember flying with my dad was in 19 6263 in a newly purchased 150 horse Super Cub then it went on floats and I remember flying with Dad out of Drayton Harbor and him putting me in the front seat as pilot-in-command when I was Learning to Fly in the early 70s

I'm building one! And I'm going to use a Cox 0.049 engine in the front instead of brushless power! This thing should fly like a dream on a throttleable reed valve Cox mill. Swing a 5x3x3 prop on the front, look great on the ground fly great in the air.

i've been waiting for this video men

The Cessna aircraft that this model looks like is the Cessna 152 which has tricycle landing gear. The Cessna 150 was a tail dagger (with a tail wheel)

@dinostudios6579

Richard Aldrich the cessna 150 was not tail wheel. You are thinking of the relation of 170 and 172 and 180 and 182. The 152 was just a slight upgrade of the 150. I have flown a Cessna 150L and it is tricycle

when will the plans be available ?you said it will be available as soon as the vid drops yet it is still not available . please guys cant wait to build one

Awesome! And a very beautiful paint job too! :) what flight time can I expect on your 2S setup incl. The fpv setup?

You guys should check out SoloShot. It is a camera/camera mount that tracks an armband and keeps it in the frame. You should throw one of the armbands in a plane and see how it goes. I think it would be very interesting.

the cessna is also very forgiving in aerodynamics

Even got the audio of a new channel lol. Jk great video

Yes

Hey where’s the plans for this? I’ve been waiting for a high wing flitetest plane like this and would love to scratch build one this week

Beautiful plane and design! Ben did an awesome job on it The only thing i am kind of dissapointed with is the small scale. Would it be possible just like the scout that a bigger version could be released later?

you could always scale up the pdf plans, I've heard of others doing it but never tried it myself

Great info BUT ,I have a question....for example ( just an example ) the Store shows the commuter plane as a standard plane ( not a mini ) and uses the Power Pack A and it shows the simple Cub as a standard but suggests the Power Pack B.....so the question is can you use the SAME power pack A in the Simple Cub and or the Power Pack B in the Commuter ? Why and or why not ? seems to be about a 8 inch difference in wingspan but should not affect the ability to use either Power pack.....may slow the Cub down more and or speed up the commuter....but will A work with the CUB and make the power pod switchable to both for example ? Just curious as to yes or no and WHY ? Thanks in advance ....

didnt see where to get the scratch plans for it

Cool stuff!!! I learned to fly in a 152. What FPV camera is that? Link? I need one for my Cub.

Last summer i tried to buid one out of insulation foam an totally failed now you got some plans and ill try ir again

What Fpv system do you guys use with this plane? I am looking for a new one because mine broke.

Do you controls for the air planes

You guys should turn a simple scout into a firefly catcher by attaching a box to catch the fireflies!

Come on Alex when are you going to do a scratch built version of the E-flite Valiant but huge like the skyvan? No but seriously do a scratch built with Tundra tires it looks dope as a bush plane!

I’m doing a scratch build simple cub from your plans! (First rc scratch build airplane). I bought a 300 out runner motor) How do I get the shaft switched so I can have the motor outside the fire wall/ motor mount? I’ve got the motor apart but can’t get the shaft switched ! WHATS THE TRICK? Please HELP!!!

I love this but I don't like the size. Will there be a bigger one?

Y'all should also make a cessna 185 design same size and a citabria

Hi, I'm new in the hobby and I'm not sure about my first plane. I'm thinking about simple cub and of course this ft commuter. Building will not be the problem I'm sure about that, but flying... Well let's just say that even I was flying a lot in phoenix sim, I'm not so sure about flying in real life. And also, simple cub is interesting because of its upgrades. So please, can someone advice me which plane of that two should I chose. Thanks forward!

Hello, do you ship nationwide?

Hi so I'm a beginner to the hobby Is this a good plane to start off with? it seems good but I'm worried the nose could be hard to repair. love all of your content!

Hey. I was checking some other chamnels out, and there are guys out there designing RC F-14 tomcats with worlable swept wings wings using your speed built designs, and they are fantastic!!! I think you guys should check them out and see if you make a Flitetest RC F-14!!! I think it would be awesome!!!

Hello! This is the Tech channel, so would it make sense for you to teach more advanced aerodynamics, how to design planes from scratch, what software to use, how to use it, etc? I would love a video about that

Quit coming up with new stuff. I keep building more and more. You're killing me!

Are you all ever going to bring back the vlogs?

Can you design a Vulcan Bomber edf

Awesome

None of the Cessna models is available in FT store:(( What happened?

How about something like this but a Biplane that can fly super slow for flying around in a small yard around obstacles...something with some drag to keep the speed down but very stable... I got planes that are fast but that gets old after a while...but I really like to just fly low and slow on nice calm days...harass my cat with my little umx cub sport.. What would be perfect would be a cub sport with 2 wings..all umx biplanes are brushless with 2 cell making them near twice the weight...I don't know why they never made a 1 cell brushed biplane...the sport cub seems to have more then enough power...

I got the SE5 down to 245g loaded, I think the Mini Scout in the FT board would be well under that and the entire UMX series from Horizon Hobby are all sub 250. Xjet is releasing his sub 250 FPV plane this month too. There are also hundreds of Depron foam based designs around, they might not be FT but many of those are under 250g and the foam is easier to buy outside the USA, unlike Adams foamboard.

Where are they free plans for this plane?

Hey guys, I’m in the middle of designing a smaller (umx) style timber. I fell in love with that plane even though I really don’t like umx planes due to the way they handle. I’ve always found umx planes too squirrelly, but the timber - being a 5 channel plane with functional flaps - made me fall in love with it. The design so far is a bit bigger than the umx timber, but most of the characteristics are the same. Once I’m completed and tested, where would I be able to share the plans besides KZread?

Ruedi Schubarth awesome, will do once it is tested, tried, and true. My old man and I own a laser cut business (lasercutUSA) and we mostly distribute scale balsa warbirds and turbine jets, but we have been completely mesmerized by the work you guys have been doing over the years, and you offer free plans which is completely admirable and just goes to show that your business model is one to be the standard of all US based businesses - care about your constituents and customers and they will spend money. Do you have an email I can have? I need to bounce something off you guys and don’t wanna broadcast it just yet. On the original topic, I can’t wait until you guys see our mid size (between a umx and 1.5) scratch build timber plans and how it flies. We would like to send you guys the first laser cut kit to build and maybe test. We want NO money off of it, we just feel the umx timber, as well as her bigger brothers are amazing plans to learn how to fly if you are a beginner and want to step the game up a bit with adding another channel for flaps

Its time to bring the vlogs back

Can’t find the scratch plans?

A more realistic "N number" would be "N150FT". I soloed in N150TG on my 16th Birthday.
