I picked one of these up after seeing a couple guys flying them at the local flying field, they are amazing, super stable, and just great fun, fpv is a breeze to set up, the glide ratio is incredible. so much fun !
4:06 "...Can't even get this to spin." So my friend has the Opterra and it sure looked like a spin when he crashed his. Thankfully it survived with hardly a scratch and made several more successful flights that day. Now he sold it to me so he could buy some batteries for his fancy new DJI Spark. I'm excited to fly.
I lost a finger to a prop. I did not like launching the Optura with a usher prop. I had no camera for the front. I moved the motor and prop to the front. It was very easy to do. To retain the CG, I mounted a 3200 3cell in the back of the body cavity. It fit well. Now I have an Optura that is fun to launch.
Man I wish I could afford this wing. I'm only thirteen, so I don't have much cash, and my parents don't really enjoy me flying planes, they think it's a waste of time, and that I should do more school work. I get straight A's tho so I don't under stand. What ever. Loved the vid!
Will Bernhardt Chores... odd jobs... put cash on credit card gift card that you can reload. not saying to defy your rents, just a creative way to get things.
Tell your parents that is complete and utter nonsenes! i started model flying when i was 9 and now i've not only built a ton of planes myself, for less that 40 bucks each, but im also a student pilot turning flying into a career (im 16 now). I'd say school is a waste of time! Go out there, fly, and follow your dreams man!
I missed you yesterday flitetest:( a vlogless tuesday was a bluesday...but I understand. and forgive.;) Great let's Fly! as the sweed would say those wings in flight.... goorrrejjuisss!
If the wing is designed for flight time / payload, what is the envelope for that? How long with what weight, etc.? And how does that compare with conventional wing/tail craft of the same wing area?
great video .... I've gone back into flying wings again and have just purchased an AR STEALTH WING and getting into FPV flying haven't started yet but nearly there....and seing this platform and how she handles .......grrrrreat ....... have just got an account with you guys and looking forward to acquiring an OPTERA from your store THANKS
Bought one of these week ago where the motor sits it has broken looking at it its not a really good finished. Tryed to do what you had done in launch mode not a chance crashed in the ground every time didn't even turn or go up or down very well done what manual said to do Real shame a lot of money . Is there any chance of a help on set up using a dx9 PLLLEEEASE
Hay guys my brother and i are getting back in to fixed wing flying still flying quads but this Optera is just amasing! Any was was out flying to day in ireland and did my longest flight ever l.o.s and on the way back just in front of us lost all control nuting! wing kept flying then 5 seconds just before it hit the deck she kicked back in so landed her safe. would you have any idea what might have done this? hand set is a DX8 and was fully charged. thanks PS. love the show keep up the good work.
what would happen if you inverted the aileron wires on an AS3X plane and inverted the roll on your transmitter? how long can you keep the plane in the air before crashing? if the plane survives the first crash, maybe make a competition out of it. also probably best to not use a flying wing since it only has 2 servos to invert.
hi Guys, just watched your review of the E Flight Opterra. how quick was it to adjust the CG when you added your FPV gear? you mentioned the weights but nothing about resetting the CG. From what I have heard, wings need to have the correct CG to fly properly. Look forward to hearing back
I'm looking into purchasing this plane but I don't have the slightest idea what transmitter to get for it or what would be the best for an fpv experience. I love your videos and I hope you or one of your subscribers could give me a few suggestions! Thanks and Gig'Em!
Keith Albert, I do have experience flying both rc planes as well as quadcopters, including drones like the Phantom 3 as well as a few racer quads, but I've always bought them rtf. I'm looking for longer flight times and this seems like an affordable option, but I wasn't sure on the route to go for fpv/receiver.
Does the 'SAFE' mean that there's no point in my getting one of these as I couldn't fly this with my Hitec Flash 7 Tx? Instead I'd have to go out & buy a Spectrum Tx to fly this thing?
Do a challenge where one person is blindfolded with the transmitter and another person has fpv so that the person with the transmitter has to be told what to do by the fpv person
Josh and Josh are by far the best FliteTest on air personalities.
Bob Stubs we all agree :) they work well off of each other as well
Wow, what a GREAT episode! The three way in air bump was FANTASTIC!
What a beautiful flying wing! Looks like a number #1 buy when I get to a big wing purchase.
I picked one of these up after seeing a couple guys flying them at the local flying field, they are amazing, super stable, and just great fun, fpv is a breeze to set up, the glide ratio is incredible. so much fun !
It's great seeing Josh Scott flying with you guys again :) !
WRONG! It's cringeworthy.
Loving the face cam stills when viewing each others FPV feed It's nice to see who we're watching rather than just a name. Keep it up guys!
When is the giant scale miniquad episode??
can't wait either! :D
Curious Airlines were all waiting!!!!!!! LOL
Curious Airlines will it make it better if I say testing and tuning are in progress? 😁
T-Bone Drones YESS thanks tj I cannot wait!!!!!!so that means It fly's!!!!!!😁😁😁
RC Madnes s I can't confirm nor deny whether it flies. I can say it powers on 😁😂
I got one 4-5 years ago. Still in the box. Maybe I will get it out in a few months when it warms up here in Vermont. Nice flying guys.
I love how unique the music is on this channel; every time I hear it, I just think FLITETEST.
I have been flying an Opterra since January; it’s really a pleasure to pilot and I made nice videos with it.
The ending guys, the ending, ha, ha ,ha ! You made my day! Great episode!
That ending had me dead. Always great catching moments like that on camera.
Awesome....Nice saves all of you. Great flying, Skip
Glad to see Josh #2 is back in show.
Awesome,im getting one as soon as my local store( 2 hours away ) has them in.All the best to you guys from FRANCE.
love the old school review!!!!! Keep up the good work!
oh man, some FT old school style! I like it!
Looks like a fun plane! Especially since my current favorite is the Radian.
Honestly u guys deserve more subscribers
Great video, film work gets better and better great job guys 👍🏻
I love to see this channel grow!
4:06 "...Can't even get this to spin." So my friend has the Opterra and it sure looked like a spin when he crashed his.

I got a delta wing that you guys where promoting and I am very happy with it you a re doing a good show
Just like the older videos :) I watched the video about the versa wing and mighty mini arrow just a few minutes ago. I really enjoy this kind of video
beautiful
why am i the only 1 who liked lol
@@thedoeverything418 I know right? Its Ramy!
Finally Josh is here!
i love when they both collided and just dragged each other down until they were separated
Anyone else notice the serious remodeling work at the Furey residence. Good shot at 1:44.
Richard Ames I saw that too. I wonder what's being done.
Here's a challenge for ya, build a plane without any hot glue or design a snap together foam board plane.
cool idea!
Second that!
So you mean instead of hot glue they should use foamsafe CA or Epoxy? Or gaffers tape?
Yea they can only use masking tape
masking tape is too heavy and useless at high speeds
It's beautiful, really majestic in the air!
Totally love this video. Your formation flight was so awesome and the crash was crazy. Stoked for more. That's what it's all about ;)
Verry, very cool. Great video.
That plane is a beauty!
Another great show you guys , great recovery to all of you ! lol
Great video guys!!!
I've missed this SO much
pretty sweet flying wing. I might have to get that some day, great video as always
Really awesome! Thanks guys.
I'm going to buy one off of your store! 😊 great video it really inspired me into buying a wing!
cant wait for you guys to do a review on the eflite valiant
This episode was great guys!!
I have been looking at one of these for a long time. I think it's time to pull the trigger.
Man, that intro music is amazing
I lost a finger to a prop. I did not like launching the Optura with a usher prop. I had no camera for the front. I moved the motor and prop to the front. It was very easy to do. To retain the CG, I mounted a 3200 3cell in the back of the body cavity. It fit well. Now I have an Optura that is fun to launch.
Another video watched and another flying wing ordered!
Man, wings are amazing!
Man I wish I could afford this wing. I'm only thirteen, so I don't have much cash, and my parents don't really enjoy me flying planes, they think it's a waste of time, and that I should do more school work. I get straight A's tho so I don't under stand. What ever. Loved the vid!
Will Bernhardt same here same age same situation!!!!lol!!!!
Will Bernhardt Chores... odd jobs... put cash on credit card gift card that you can reload. not saying to defy your rents, just a creative way to get things.
Will Bernhardt i feel bad for u cause my mum and dad love flying
Thats basically how it is for me. But time, work and dedication to my passion and trust me you will get there. Have faith!! :)
Tell your parents that is complete and utter nonsenes! i started model flying when i was 9 and now i've not only built a ton of planes myself, for less that 40 bucks each, but im also a student pilot turning flying into a career (im 16 now). I'd say school is a waste of time! Go out there, fly, and follow your dreams man!
Still awaiting the Megaquad episode!
30 minutes is really good for that type of battery. the ending was hysterical
Saw this one at my local hobby shop. debated on getting it. might just do it now to try out fpv.
Must be five minutes (to build) for one person, you had two! 😄
Thanks for the content!
I missed you yesterday flitetest:( a vlogless tuesday was a bluesday...but I understand. and forgive.;) Great let's Fly! as the sweed would say those wings in flight.... goorrrejjuisss!
You should make an RC "Osprey" with the rotating wings! That would be awesome! Also thanks for the awesome videos!
is it possible to put 2 servos more in the wing by diy, to have rudder and ailerons?
If the wing is designed for flight time / payload, what is the envelope for that? How long with what weight, etc.? And how does that compare with conventional wing/tail craft of the same wing area?
Love the video! I can't wait to get a flying wing for myself. Keep putting out the great content!
Some different people behind the camera on the ground this time? The shots feel different! Once again an enjoyable episode!
Any chance that you flew one of those behind Jackson High School? I saw a plane very similar to that within the last three weeks.
Hey FliteTest! Doesn't the fist plane make turbulence what would shake or harden the second planes flight when they are really close to each other??
what kind of drone was capturing a lot of that video? Whoever was controlling it did a great job.
I would love to see you guys do a video on installing the Eagletree Vector in it.
JOSH IS BACK!!!!!
is this on the store
So no need for a high performance/complex flight check-out with this one?
Good for intermediate or advanced fliers?
I have a question dous it come with the camera and goggles cause I’m looking at a fpv plane and I’m on a budget so that’s all I have to ask
great video .... I've gone back into flying wings again and have just purchased an AR STEALTH WING and getting into FPV flying haven't started yet but nearly there....and seing this platform and how she handles .......grrrrreat ....... have just got an account with you guys and looking forward to acquiring an OPTERA from your store THANKS
are you guys going to be at the flight west??? i trying to make up an excuse at work to go if you guys are going to be there
1:17 Never would have seen this in the early years of Flite Test!
Where can I buy the Skywalker RC 8 and/ or this one????
hey thanks for the video can you provide me with more information like range battery life and price, please?
I Just got this flying wing at a swap meet. brand new only a few flights for a $100. can't wait to take her up.
Bought one of these week ago where the motor sits it has broken looking at it its not a really good finished. Tryed to do what you had done in launch mode not a chance crashed in the ground every time didn't even turn or go up or down very well done what manual said to do
Real shame a lot of money .
Is there any chance of a help on set up using a dx9 PLLLEEEASE
How is the temperature on the tramp vtx at 600mW when mounted inside the wing? Too hot or is it cool?
you recommend this plane for beguiners??
Hay guys my brother and i are getting back in to fixed wing flying still flying quads but this Optera is just amasing!

thanks PS. love the show keep up the good work.
Getting ready to build a UHF version with either APM Pro w/GPS or the A3 Super II. Any suggestions? Leaning toward the APM because of the GPS.
Robert Cook gemini v2
Does this have anything to do with the Opterra?
It is better than it, also sorry for late response
4hours flight time with their battery (66A) so with the 22A you could fly for onenhour and a half hour
What drone do you put your GoPro on to get those areal videos at high speed
We use the X-hover element (6inch setup) SO SMOOTH!
Thanks for watching!
S.O.
Do fpv recevers need to be plugged in when you turn them on?
what would happen if you inverted the aileron wires on an AS3X plane and inverted the roll on your transmitter? how long can you keep the plane in the air before crashing? if the plane survives the first crash, maybe make a competition out of it.
also probably best to not use a flying wing since it only has 2 servos to invert.
Question for you: does alex operate the quadcopter and the camera at the same time?
hi Guys, just watched your review of the E Flight Opterra. how quick was it to adjust the CG when you added your FPV gear? you mentioned the weights but nothing about resetting the CG. From what I have heard, wings need to have the correct CG to fly properly. Look forward to hearing back
I've really been looking into the opterra,
how speed max?
Can the Opterra bind with a Tactic TTX610?!
Can you put an Autopilot / mission plan flight ?
Thanks for doing this vid i requestet it some time ago :) You are the best ! I wish i could meet you sometime but i live in Germany so ... :/
This would be great :)
thats sad
I don't see this plane on E-Flite website :(
Why do you use Spektrum?
i am the first in india to have this
its an super duper awesome wing :)
great job horizon .....
will be uploading the flight video soon !!
I'm looking into purchasing this plane but I don't have the slightest idea what transmitter to get for it or what would be the best for an fpv experience. I love your videos and I hope you or one of your subscribers could give me a few suggestions! Thanks and Gig'Em!
Will Mallett not sure beginner airplane..
Taranis, good range, rock solid connection and voice telemetry with the right receiver and sensors.
Keith Albert, I do have experience flying both rc planes as well as quadcopters, including drones like the Phantom 3 as well as a few racer quads, but I've always bought them rtf. I'm looking for longer flight times and this seems like an affordable option, but I wasn't sure on the route to go for fpv/receiver.
looks like a great wing
Good job! "He's right here" 😆
That was a fun edisode to watch.
are you kidding whit me,All three recovered without going down, amsing:)
song at 7:30 ?
Have been lookin for ages, does anybody know what it is?
Does the 'SAFE' mean that there's no point in my getting one of these as I couldn't fly this with my Hitec Flash 7 Tx? Instead I'd have to go out & buy a Spectrum Tx to fly this thing?
nice review...hey Josh Bix whats the hat your wearing I like it!
Love that wing, will buy one before summer from you. I have pay down my bill lmao
Do a challenge where one person is blindfolded with the transmitter and another person has fpv so that the person with the transmitter has to be told what to do by the fpv person
Yuss please!
FliteTest you could have an override switch for the fpv dude
