- In the past we've tried to make a box fly and failed miserably. At Joe Nall this year we ran into a father-son duo who hit the nail on the head!

2:14 That kid is like "I want to burn this place to the ground, and everyone in it".
Might be wishing he didn't have to go back to that chimney cleaning day job. :(
he was tired, probably shy, probably doesnt express his emotions like low-IQ people do. 6 seconds later when josh said to let it get in the air he smiled. way better than people who smile all the time..
bepowerification Actually it looks like he wanted to kill Josh when he slapped him on the back. I don't think I have ever seen such a sulky face. Interesting that you feel IQ and the ability to express emotion are mutually exclusive, do you know the guy personally or was that just projection?
That kid looked SUPER annoyed
Windphile Knowing how these shoots go, that was probably the 15th take and he'd had ENOUGH ;-)
I know Josh is always so nice and so polite and he was trying to speak with that kid but he looked like he had an attitude. Maybe because its a phase he is going through as a kid. The long hair weird hat. I feel like he is spoiled and his dad didn't even talk to him about how he was being mean to Josh.
The kid looks sunburnt
2:14 That kid is SO excited!
Haha
Believe in the cube, and the cube will believe in you.
Robbaz-2015
GLORIOUS
Feel the aura of the cube
Time cube!

I didn't expect to see Robbaz fans here of all places... :P
The motor on those is insane. Achieves 15-20 minutes of flight and has a 4:1 power ratio? Good lord!
***** If you can do it your glider can stay up as long as the sun is out on some days and at the slope you could technically fly 24/7 until your rx battery dies
yeah but 15-20 mins on 1/3 the throttle....
Wanted to see the lights w/ night flight :(
Does that kid even want to be there???
ReadableMage585 Thats What I thought to..
And someone needs to tell him that his hat is very ugly =)
Come on guys, be nice about it. You don't know about him, or really who he is, so don't judge. He might just have been camera shy. The thing that we should focus on with this episode is the creativity and the family aspect- that the dad and his son spent so much time together to make this work. It's not fair to judge when you know so little. Please be respectful...
Well, sometimes is just better to be honest than nice..
We dont know him, but he accepted to be in a video on youtube, and that makes him a official person, and when when someone is that, you should be able to take critics. just my two cents.
mrpeter81 I didn't know this was a fashion channel.
I'm pretty sure he is into steampunk which makes this hat and the goggles and integral part. They are pretty cool.
Balu It is what you make it. Everything is open for discussion.
looks like it was dads project and he included his son somewhat.
Very cool, just needs some el wire hanging from the bottom to be a flying box jellyfish
Nice father and son project. 5 years is a very long time. Kites + RC is all thumbs up, in my books (y)
What's with all the thumbs down?
Sure they might be boring as hell, but it's the experience and memories that kid is getting building these things with his dad that will live on long after his dad passes. Maybe that kid might even pay it forward with his own some day, instead of sitting in front of video games.
A little more positive spirit people!
Shy but cool kid, don't let this jokers take you down Robert! Love the hat and the googles by the way! :)
rotormasher I wonder if he does steampunk. Hat and goggles would be perfect. I love them.
I seriously need to see night footage of this.
I love that Anthony's "Slash Hat". I believe it was taken from Slash, the GnR lead guitar. And the Flite Test logo on it is just perfect.
Wow! That videography - 2:29
I remember watching an episode back in 2012 of a prototype flying cube made from you guys, it flew for a while...
Peter, you know what to do next!
Ya know he is just a kid I was not all bubbly and happy bouncing off the walls as a kid I wore a weird baseball hat , had weird shoes and I was just being me . Im sure he is just a kid being a kid. Though it may not look it that kid probably designed most of the project. Way to go kid and dad the memories the 2 made on that project will probably last a lifetime you never know a kid i grew up with was a uber odd ball geek kid today he designs wierd airplanes for nasa and other companies all concept planes as he calls it top secret stuff all from a kid who did not fit in .
You know what, your right. Even though I would be ecstatic about meeting the flite test crew and being interviewed, some other people may not feel the same.
Some people are just camera shy
Chad just staying behind the scenes these days?
I always liked his vids.
That is just silliness, and as I always say the sillier the better. It would be fun to see if you could get them to fly in 90 degree angles... great project.
Ooo, I wanted to see the spinny lights at night! I hope that shows up in the eventual Flite Fest video!
Really like the design. Looks like a fun time.
Kid looked thrilled to be there.
Josh Finn could take these to a whole new level
Slash Kid did a great job. He needs to smile.
That's awesome! I like it very much that they refined & refined & refined the concept to what it now is :)
Compliment to Kelly & Antohny (hope I got the names right :$) ! :)
And thanks for sharing this FT :)
Cheers!
Build a plane that can fly forwards and backwards. So 2 motors, one in each end, and 2 radiosystems.
Those already exist
They are called 4d planes
I see :O It looks SO wrong when they fly! But my idea was to make a plane with a motor in each end, and then 2 pilots - one for each direction.
U dont get it
Very cool, i know alot of kids would love to get their hands on these, easy to fly, big and bright. Awesome idea guys!
yall should have a kite festival.. millions love to flt exotic kites and balloons.. thats 3 festivals a year right there.. or 6.. 2 each spring and fall, rc, planes, kites, balloons
Somebody is going to steal the idea now.
If this is meant to be a promo video. I do have one small suggestion which I feel is important. You may not but I do. There needed to be video either on site or video updloaded from earlier flights of some night flying. I see the lanterns at all sorts of festivals and parties and I can only imagine one of these flying around at night with LEDs would be amazing.
I heard that you might be doing an episode at my school, Embry-Riddle, this year? There's a bunch of race quads and a 2x scale punjet that has unlimited vertical...
dont you wanna punch ''slash'' in the face
repeatedly !
I think I recall Chad's original premise was to keep everything entirely inside the box. These looked like the motor, prop and at least part of the tail fins were sticking outside the box.
Nice design and execution but not quite what Chad was originally aiming for.
Those boxes look so freaking stupid in the air.
I love it.
That kid looks so excited to fly a box...
I know it took 5 years to get to this amazing achievement...yet still, now I keep visualizing a radio-controlled, free-flying CHINESE DRAGON KITE. Or maybe even a glowing jellyfish, with dangling tentacles. Still, I'd love to fly one of these little boxes...and can't you just imagine a bunch of these whizzing around Burning Man at night?
Great video guys. Thanks for sharing this with us. Those flying boxes are very interesting and I am impressed with their outdoor ability. Indoors those things would rule.
Work with Prism Kites, they have a kite that is almost exactly like that plane.
Can you try to make a small scale version of the u2 plane or the sr-71 plane(blackbird)
How is the torque from the prop balanced?
and why in this ad, was the kite not glowing in the dark?
Can you guys please do a review of the Hobbyking bushmaster? I want to know if it would be good for a beginner.
I"ve built kites for over 10 years prior to coming over to RC. These would be easy and there are actually plans available for kites just like these planes online. A modified Prism Triad would be cool too.
Great SteamPunk googles and hat!!...What was the name of the material used.... Apteryx??? looks like one has reinforcing threads???...Great flying...very interesting....Thanks..Laurie
great show seeing thing you thought that could not fly ,that some one made fly.Thinking out side the box,or in this case the cube
very good video hey FLITE TEST i can not find that camera and transmitter that you all used on your plane the one in a 1/2 box that you can take off of one plane and put on a another plane ty
Someone is going to make millions! Nice idea.
Prink a cardboard box design on it and fly them around your local post office.
where is chad now? haven't seen him in a video recently
Awesome build
Josh Really Nice Video on the Box Kites ! Thanks Dave B.
Soon to be on sale on Ikea stores.
I can remember a good few years back that a company tried to push RC kites but it never took off,from memory they never flew this good though.
I'm not 100% sure on this bit though but i keep seeing HH when i think of the RC kite,maybe HH brought them out or at least sold them,again this was a good few years back and they didn't fly this good.
Just thought i'd put that out there.
I see you guys didn't include the video from the first launch lol. Saw myself several times in the video I'm the guy in the red TWA shirt next to Zebra plane guy.
so how many cells is the 500mah it uses? Just curious
i hope there's a way of including a cheap controller with these when they're released. i can see these making good budget aircrafts when they're released but from a consumer perspective adding a controller that's more than £100 (approximately more than $156) to the package seems a little extreme.
These are neat, but going back to Chad's design, why not use a flight controller to stabilize it?
Interesting flying machines! Hope he gets the backing, has he thought about trying Kickstarter? Might be a project other people would be interested in.
wow i just watched the ep with the flying box chad made. awesome
Flight test - Could you build a drone built to specifically put on a scary costume on it as a prank. There are videos of this but they are not that great. I think you guys could take it to the next level.
the kid's so pissed that his dad brought a bright pink cute to be on the world wide web.. hahahahaha
can we get some night flying footage of these?
I smell potential! Portable, lightweight, 4:1 power ratio and flies for a long time. I see a big name hobby store picking this thing up and selling it in all their stores. Now, how much it costs is another story. Anybody know anything about the fabric he said this was made out of?
Very cool. How much are you looking for dollar wise ?
Scott Manley needs to see this.
He does, I bet he would try to build one on ksp
Flite Test, I have one question. If I wanted to make my own FPV quad, would you recommend a kit? Or a bunch of diffrent branded parts?
Borg kites.
+Tom Nally air resistance is futile!
Could you please do a review on the nitro planes/airfield 90mm/64mm sonic piercer 6ch and 4ch rc planes
That is the coolest thing I've seen!! Good job both of ya!
would look cool with leds in the dark.
Pretty cool... I'd like to build one.
It looks like the son didn't want to be there...
What ever happened to these guys? Did they ever produce it? I want one!
FT Cube?
could u review the dromida kodo? the nano quad?
Hey Flight Test I got an idea stick motor on a kite! I wonder if that would fly?
Can you guys do another speed challenge please. Loved the one with Josh and david
But..... Will it blend?
No,seriously.
Hello guys, please help me, I got my bixler 2 rc plane and with a HK-T6A 6ch transmitter with a trainer port (in detail ''a cable that you can insert from the transmitter to the computer via usb'') so it says that It does not install the drivers and that it failed. Can this transmitter be used on simulators? that is all I wonder if this transmitter can be used on simulators. I've tried to calibrate but it is blank, my computer does not recognize my transmitter. Thanks.
Very cool! Best of luck hope to see more of these!
Where to get a motor and fan?
How do you buy these I want one
Awesome! Imagine a passenger version of this :)
This is very cool! Where do I buy one?
I'll take a neon green one please!
Sick friggin steam punk goggles budday
It kinda looks tail heavy.. sorry if I'm wrong, I'm not really a flyer.. im just very interested to be an rc flyer hobbyist..
dang that edf was fast when they first put those things in the air
(2:29 for those that missed it)
I would love to buy one.
a beautiful kite plane. would like to watch it is flying in the nighttime. must be ausome..
how much would you sell 1 offs for
Very Cool! Thoroughly enjoyed this video!
Serious question: How do you not lose orientation if it all looks the same from 5 of the 6 sides?
thechosendude The control surfaces seem to be sticking out but its still tricky i think
Aaron S I see that, but they're not really visible from 5/6 sides. Even at a side angle it would be near impossible to see the control surfaces with it in motion. I could see silkscreening a design or something on the sides/fabric to help.
thechosendude true. Ive been confused about that too.
thechosendude I always wonder how some of the quadcopter pilots keep orientation without having different colored arms, LEDs or something. You just feel it some day I guess.
thechosendude it probably help that it is always moving forward.
You could make the led when they rotate (faster) to display messages then sell those for publicity drones
These fly super cool!!
why wasn't Chat there?
I mean, he is the maker of it all!
I understand that he is gone, but with a special event like this...
very cool....make more!
what's the material called?
It is Icarex. It's a coated polyester, 31 grams per square meter. Used for sails and kites mostly.
Catching could be a hazard. I can see a lot of people getting hurt if it is mass produced.
