Maybe you need to go show them how to do some fiberglass work that way they can upgrade what they're doing

Love it, guys! The start-to-finish single project videos were fun, but for bigger stuff like this B-17 it's super cool to get more in-depth on a lot of the engineering and construction, and the random interjections... flying through the door, talking about tinywhoop plans - it feels like a fly-on-the-wall sort of perspective on what your day to day is like, and as you go bigger and better on projects like these I think that'll work really well! It's also a nice homage back to the vlog days... great stuff guys, looking forward to this year.

When it gets hit in laser tag, a panel should fly off from one of the wings or vertical stabilizer. You’d only need a tiny servo for each panel. Every hit would be signaled by a different panel being “shot off”.

Congrats on 2 million subscriber!

I don't know about model flying rules in the US but here in the UK 20ft is the absolute limit for the wingspan of a model, anything over is considered as a full blown aircraft and is subject to CAA (FAA equivalent) regulations such as wing loading, annual safety checks etc. So it may be time to get Peter Shripol back to actually fly IN IT as pilot, he's small enough and light enough to do it!

Love this one! That wire cutter is an impressive beast.

Love the nerdy engineering stuff... the more the better!

You know, with one of your big B-17 models, you should make a BF-109 model of the same scale, and do an RC reenactment of the flight when Franz Stigler escorted the severely damaged B-17 piloted by Lt. Charlie Brown, back to safety. (An extremely great true story from WWII...)

This is gonna be awesome. Can't wait!

Wow. So exciting. Used to say the sky’s the limit, that’s so over. There is no telling what’s inside the Bixler brain for ‘22. LOL

It’s been so great to follow you guys from such early days. You have never stopped being Ambassadors to this great Hobby. Looking forward to the next video 👍🏻

I'm definitely feeling nostalgic after this one. The throwback music, shenanigans, and vlog style video bring back blissful memories. Congrats on two million! Here's to two more!

This B17 is going to be awesome. A full flight crew plus the opportunity to involve as many others as can be mustered, within reason of course. What a fun way to get everyone involved.

Congratulations again on the 2 million subscribers , and I can't wait to see the finished product of this B-17 bomber it's gonna be epic .!!!!!!!

Congratulations!!!

Congratulations Folks on 2 Million + Subscriptions! Well Deserved! Love Your Channel! Go Fort!

I’m still waiting for a 185% scaled FT-Edge 540 and a giant cargo plane to make 0 gravity parabolas and put a GoPro inside to see things float around in it

This man is impresive

You don’t even realize how happy a new video makes us all!

I was watching tons of videos out of the blue on B 17 bombers and I stumbled on to the other video where you shot apples at it back in september. At the end you said at 2 mil you were gonna do it again with lasers. I looked down at the sub count and saw 2 mil. I came to the channel and see this video posted 6 hours ago. The world works in mysterious ways. New Sub

I really like the more vlogy style of the video. It just brings back this kind of family feeling that we had with the original vlogs. 👍

Congrats for 2M subscribers!! Well deserved!!!!

I wanna WHOOP with Jessie!!! The idea's are fantastic guys! Creativity spot on!!

Like that you try new concepts and keep evolving your content! I think that you're on a good way now. New crew, new tools and new format all working to getter to make up good quality and fresh new content!! 👍 After a couple of years with out subscribing to you, I'm back subscribing and looking forward to see what you re bring for us to enjoy in the upcoming times! Thanks! 👍

I can’t believe after all this time this project is here😃👍👍 hats off to you guys again for hitting 2 million!!

You chaps have come such a long way. Thanks for your content, jealous of your job! 🇬🇧

Love the large builds.

Another great video guys. This Old Man from North Carolina so looking forward to seeing it fly. Love what y'all are doing for our awesome Hobby. ✈️🧔💝

What a great project!!! Your foam wire cutter is amazing

Congratulations! Amazing build and concept. I was happy to hear you are going to expand on the design process! Cheers

👍👍Congrats on 2 million well done while having fun !!

That is going to be a huge plane when it's done. It really puts it in perspective seeing the fuselage stood up.

Congrats - been following you under various names since the very early days, I think even before or as your logo was being designed. Used to be only two of you! What's next, five million?

The ball turret needs to have laser tag gear, and be able to move. That would be epic! I should have watched the video before commenting LOL!

I like the new format, great video once again. cant wait to see it finished and in the air

You scared the poop out of that puppy when you landed the plane inside.

I would love to see you guys build a giant (or even small) PBY Catalina. Would be fun for some water based shenanigans

Congratulations on 2 million subscribers. 👏 🥳👍

I love what you guys do! You guys really deserve to get your own Discovery show on TV. :)

Please tell anyone interested about the hobby that flitetest exists because this channel is underrated and deserves a lot more

Yes!! Your first build with retracts!

Bruh watching an old video and one of you say, when we hit 2 mil, we’re gonna do something crazy, I look and see that you are at 2 mil! Congrats and hope to see a crazy air Battle!

This project is going to be awesome!!!!! I'm excited!

Best channel on you tube for rc aviation

Congrat's GUYS!!!!!

Multiplayer RC, nice!

Everything is this episode I love it, looking forward to see the B17 and the whoop track. happy new year FT

Congrats on the 2M subscribers 👌🏻 The B-17 100% needs a scale escort.

Guys I have always enjoyed your creative prowess I I've been watching you from the very beginning yes in your garage garage keep doing what you're doing and keep the young interested and ambitious to learn more don't stop what you're doing you're doing a great thing God loves you and I want you to have a very good year

This is got to be the best project flight test has done and I can’t wait to see the finished product.

It's great to experience your progress from small planes dropping ducks to planes with airsoft guns to planes with streamers stuck to the tail to fpv laser tag combat with two fighters to bigger and bigger planes with turrets and everything.

Ahh, the amazing B17 my favorite plane in the whole world

Can you cover it in carbon fiber to make it bulletproof (crash tough)

Because of this Channel i made a carboard plane yesterday Now i only need to insert Motors

The B17 is looking like it’s going to be an awesome aircraft and very versatile too at that, and the outlook for what your doing to the clubhouse sounds awesome too.

You should add smoke emmitters to the engines so they smoke if they're hit

Fpv, remotely controlled, ball turret gunner, with paintball guns. DO IT !! 🔥

“If we hit 3 million subs’, Dave has agreed to be the first human passenger in a 100% foam board RC plane of our design!” Dave: “I’m going to do what now?!?”

Awesome finally the B17 Flying Fortress. Do I hear bomb run dogfight?

I like it already looks like it's going to be exactly to shape of the original

I SAW THE TYPO IN THE TITLE YOU CANNOT HIDE FROM ME AHAHAHAHAA

Just an idea. I’m not sure if it even possible but with the laser tag stuff, maybe have several places to be hit and let’s say it’s hit on the left side, the left motor or aileron will stop working.

Nice as ever. It's been a long journey.

I hope you guys might design and build a Lockheed C-5 Galaxy one day! Love the Boeing B-17 as well!

Manning the belly turret in fpv would be insane!

I'll be following this project! Another awesome idea from the FT team!

Please build the B-29 Superfortress

This is gonna be freekin great 👍🏻

Congratulations

Your new Kit bird reminds me a lot of the venerable Darwin Garrison Push-E-Cat. Especially the polyhedral wing version. Darwin would be proud! I’m definitely gonna order one!

I have been here since the crazy Swedish Vegan Jet pilot ... aka David was on the team. You guys have come so far. Be nice to see a reunion of all the people that were apart of the journey.

Looking forward to seeing this fly! So, when do you expect the Speed Build kit to come out?! Lol!

I really can't wait to see this baby in the air!!

CONGRATULATIONS ON 2 MILLION SUBS Can't wait to see this beast take to the sky 🔥👍✌️

I've always wanted to see you guys make a B-36, I think the engine nacelles would be tricky but you might be able to 3D print them and just stick them to the wings.

It was such a pain watching you stuck on 1.97 for ages! Every now and then I would check and I remember seeing 1.98,1.99. Love the stuff

Gooooooo B17 I CANT WAIT

OMG - you are living the life that every kid who loves airplanes wants to live! AMAZING!

Hellooo!!! Can you please do an A-10 Warthog vs A-10 Warthog dogfight? (The one with the bb machine guns in it?) That would be SICK!!!

You know the tomato bombs you made before? You can make a bunch of them now, and do a huge bombing run.

Because of how big this project is you should install an emergency parachute into the plane in case it stalls or nose dives at low altitude

Congrats on 2mill! This project looks awesome and I can't wait to see this think fly! Edit: Maybe try coating it in kevlar and goop? Make sure this thing stays around forever!

if only i had access to this equipment. Id love sometime in the future make this available to buy as a pre cut foam kit

We saw the "are" 👀 😁
