Hands down, your best videos are your little having fun contest videos. The fun of just hanging out with buddies really comes through. You should just have a week series called “some game we just made up”

I don't know about the rest of y'all, but it's been like 5 years, and I am ready to see some sort of speed challenge. Fastest for under $50 or something of the sort.

YES!

It's amazing to see how much Stefan improved his skills. I don't mean the short landings, but his takeoff, it was super scale!

Thanks for the kind words Ancona! We know its not about the planes or the challenges... its all about the relationships and that is why we try and cultivate those relationships as much as we can... the planes are just the conduit! ;) Blessings my friend!

i'd like to see you take one of the warbirds (ideally, a navy one...) and do arrested landings on a like a driveway or couple sheets of plywood, and devise some sort of arrestor system to catch a tail hook.....(peter's heli-carrier just sitting on the ground.....at first anyways...) along with that, some sort of short launch catapult like carrier's use....

That slowmo landing compilation at then end was the cherry on the pie. Great abdominal work out for me in this episode LOL :)

Like hanging out with a couple of old mates, laughing along and enjoying the thrills. Thanks for sharing the fun and experience.

I am in CA. People here wear full on winter gear at 57 degrees. I am originally from the Tundra of Illinois. It is constantly funny to me to see people bundled up here.

It was around -20 degrees here in North Dakota this morning, roughly -10 right now. It's funny seeing people from the south react to the weather.

10-4 I'm from Montana. Worked in the central valley of California for two years. People would come to work in insulated coveralls at 36 degrees. I found it funny how they were freezing. When it's -30 here and it warms up 30 above we are in long sleeve shirts loving it.

Acclimation. I've worn a tank top in the snow, I've also had my fingers turning blue at 30f in california. I'm freezing my ass off right now, but I spent all summer out working in 115-120f heat.

I’m also from Illinois and I agree it’s funny to see how different areas react to what to me are “warm” temps or “cold” temps that are really just normal here

A quote worthy of putting on a T shirt.

This video put a fair dinkum smile on my face, that looked like so much fun. Those takes off's by Alex and Stefan were fantastic as well, straight line with a tail dragger, well done guys.

So Stefan wins the ten-gallon hat... "Honorary Flying Cowboy!" Great episode, guys!

Best contest ever! I thought it was very fitting that "Josh is the dead battery", considering all the packs he has puffed over the years! LOL

You guys always have so much fun, if someone wants to define what this hobby is all about, this video is it.

Thank you so much for the kind words Easton! You guys make it was it is today!! ;)

It's fun to people like you visit the State that I've had the pleasure of traveling in my entire life (70yrs). Ad tips, slats to give yourself an advantage! Have a build challenge starting with identical models, then each of you modify them and have the same competition.

Bush landing should go global! This is a natural. Thanks!!!

Oh man, this is too fun! I have literally done the exact same thing with my friends with my Carbon Z Cub

LOL, thanks for the laughs. Love watching you have so much fun together!

Alex: "Hey Josh, wanna fly a bush plane?" Josh: "YEAH!" I love how fast he answered! :D

Love it! Congrats, Stefan! This needs to be a competition at FTFF. I'm thinking the winner gets a ridiculous belt buckle, STOL drag race style!

Bring back the Alex and Stefan Vlogs, my days aren't the same without them!

Old skool Flitetest with an added hysterical Stefan. Absolutely hilarious. Top job lads!

Was awesome seeing how much fun you guys had!

Great fun guys. I love my Tundra with the soft tundra wheels. Touch and goes all day long!

Your enthusiasm and laughter is infection! Love how much fun you all have with what you do. Keep it up as always!!!

Fantastic! Congrats on the win, Alex ... er Stefan!!!

Loved it guys. Now build a model Kitfox with the large soft tundra tires. I think that would also be a great trainer. Be sure to include flaperons.

OH, I very much like that.. Kitfox for the win!

I woke 4 of our 5 kids up watching this video! Great job so much fun to watch as always!!!

That ending was hilarious tho! 🤣🤣 Stephan cracks me up!!!

EXTREME KOOLNESS!!! Best one yet!

I NEVER LAUGHT so hard with fly games, ty guys!!

This is one of my favorite videos so far. Way to go Stefan!

Great job guys! You guys ROCK!

Variations on a theme, 1, Touch down on a tea towel. When that gets too easy - 2. Arrested landings - two bean bags ties to about 4' of string sitting on a 4x8 sheet of plywood. A tail hook bent out of a coat hanger and attached to the main landing gear of a nose wheel trainer should work. If you use a tail dragger you will need to add an attach point behind the cg. If you want to up the pucker factor put the plywood sheet up on a picnic table to punish low approaches.

That was hilarious. You made my stomach hurt! I won, oh wait no I didn't. Great episode!!!!!

First time coming back to the channel after a while and already loving Stefan's enthusiasm!

These are my favorite types of episodes! Sweet guys and yay Stefan 😁

Stephan's laugh is infectious. Love the video and the brotherhood. Keep the great videos coming

Great episode guys. Love it!

So happy to see you guys using wings more often!

"we screwed the screws through the globs for superior strength" lololol they should include the globs in their packaging! you guys make flying fun

now you guys have to find a pond to waterski on!!!!

This kind of fun stuff is low-key inspiring - instantly makes me want to fly, build / modify something, and hang out with friends.

I have never flown or built a RC plain in my life. You guys got me started on the hobby. The closest I have got to foam board is cardboard.

You guys are so much fun, love watching!

That was slick guys , made my Saturday morning with coffee ☕️

Awesome, these types of planes rock love the conversion.

It was 57 here in buffalo NY too. It's refreshing, and great for flying.

Awesome guys, I really enjoyed that!!

That was fun watching you guys having fun. LMAO

I never get to drink at work like these guys!

Laughed so hard it hurt!! Superb. More games please!!!!

Lmfao!! This was great

I didn't realize you guys were in Ohio. I think all of us in the midwest did everything they could to take advantage of our one nice day.

Now that's what it's all about FUN really enjoyed that guys :) many thanks

I think you need to lock down the rules, has to land straight, no ground looping allowed and the penalty for nosing over should be more. Nice Video, FUN!!!

Stefan has been becoming quite the pilot these days! Hell yeah man.

All of that is covered in snow again. Yay Ohio, and greetings from South Carolina lol

Love seeing these plane flying contests!!!

Nothing better than Stefons laugh

Love this one!

Lol....I love when you guys have these mini competitions

What a way to spend a rainy day. Totally awesome.

The Alex & Stephen chemistry is real.

OK, that was legitimately fun to watch...

Yes finally someone with good sense. Love my Gear 3 Frontier!

I flew my first RC plane today. I brought it from watching this channel. If you guys are ever in England I'll show you some sweet places to fly. #norfolkbroads

Soooooo much fun. AND you were sober and you had your clothes on. Bhaaaa I'm getting into it. No radio, no a/c but it comming. Watching and learning.

Lol That Was To Funny Great Vid Guys

Looks like great good fun!

You guys always make me laugh.

Great update guys. It would be great to see your kids in more videos in the future. It was a video with your kids in it that really helped me "sell" the hobby to a friend as an activity his whole family would enjoy. Lots of people seem to be complaining about the advertisements in the videos being too long. My response to this is: It takes more money than you can imagine to not only maintain an outfit like Flitetest but to also keep it moving forward so I understand that paid commercials are a necessary evil. Also, don't people know that you can skip the commercials if you wish? I always watch the beginning of the commercials to see if it involves a product or company I would be interested in. If it doesn't interest me I simply skip the commercial just like I do on other KZread commercials. Looking forward to another great year as part of the Flitetest family.

Ha! You guys are hilarious, thanks for the laughs 🤣

That was FUN!!

Love these playfull episodes.

This is what flying Fun is with your buddies keep up the spirit

Great video! Try a carrier landing challenge. Build a scale aircraft carrier deck with plywood and fashion some arrester gear and some tailhooks on a plane, or use jets to make it even more extreme!

That gave me some good laughs for the day.

U guys make me so happy, thanks so much.

Smelly cat! (Next time you use that cat, play a second of the Smelly Cat song) hahah

I think hands down that all ur videos are amazing. I love your guys motivation for everyone on the flight test crew. I think your merch is amazing and keep it up guys. Great job

Hey , lets add some mods to this.. suggestions.. FPV FPV with tilt cam FPV tilt cam and 3D style power on hover to land.. last and final ...add a flight stabilizer so you can really slow down the hover on landing. Did it with a slow stik 5 years ago and used a piece of carpet to land on approx 6' long by 4' wide via fpv with cam on a stalk above wing....it was a blast. LE slats and bigger flaps (area) would help increase angle. Keep it up guys ...looks like a fun event for the Flite Test events
