The whole FT crew is great, but Bixler is worth his weight in gold when it comes to these vids. Clear, easy to listen to, elaborates a lot but not too much...
Videos like these are hard to pull off. It takes a special kind of talent to teach. I'm sure good post-production helps too, but it just goes to show how high FT's quality is all-round. A lot of care obviously goes into getting these videos right.
I have to say that this is one of the better "how to" videos I've seen. Well done Josh!
Really enjoyed this video. As usual, you show us in an easy to understand, step by step way. Thank you for your dedication to this hobby. Lord willing, I will heal quickly enough to start building so my daughter and I can fly this spring and summer.
You guys rock. I know you are increasing the sport's numbers and doing aviation in general a huge service. I have flown combat gliders for years, and always wanted to get into powered planes, but didn't know where to start. Your posts, reviews and store taught me so much that I felt confident proceeding into powered planes. It seems silly, but even as a military helicopter test pilot and CFI, I still look at what you guys are doing and think; "that is so freaking AWESOME!". You guys embody the American Aviation Spirit, started by those brothers in Kitty Hawk, and I salute you!
Very nice design. Like the tight fitting pieces and the simplicity. Nicely presented Brother!
Flite Test is a show like no other. Thank you for your standards and faithfulness to what is good. Keep up the good work.

Your videos are always so clear and detailed. You do an amazing job, Josh.
Tip for builders: If you're fabricating something for a puller application, design as many components as you can so they "slot & rotate", locking together (so the thrust pulls the glue joints together rather than apart).
yes flite test is jst so simple! but at end what you build is so complicated!
Great tip! :)
FliteTest o yay I'm actually replying to flite test!!!!! I'm a newbie (kinda) and I would be highly appreciated if you could tell me how to adjust throws. I looked through everything but couldn't find how to. (might me easiest thing to do but don't know how to do it) Plus if you could explain expo ad deflection it would be amazing. If I missed one of your videos i would love it to tell me where they are. Love you guys and keep it up plz!
I just found a little trick about (most) servo-arms. In the video, did you notice that when you centered the servo and put the arm on, it was not perfectly perpendicular to the servo body? Looked about half a tooth/spline off.
All the servos I've tested have an odd number of teeth on the splines that hold the arm. So if it's not exactly perpendicular (or parallel), pull the arm off and turn it (about) 180 degrees, put it back on, and it will fit in a perfectly perpendicular (or parallel) orientation. Cheers!
Thanks! Just noticed it myself and it was pissing me off because my control surfaces weren’t perfectly level and at high speed it was pulling to the right
Simple fast and blows your mind on the opportunities you can do with this one!
Thanks!

Also, "lord willing" people should let others be regardless of their expression of beliefs. God Bless
you Flight Test.

Lord that was a good video.
Amen
Jesus! that was good.
Hallelujah
everybody say Amen
Thank you and Amen Brother! Hopefully Rich doesn't see this...
I love how flight test makes it soooo clear
Guys really, chill out with the anti religious comments. Who gives a flying f&*k about a few religious terms when Flitetest bring sooo much to this hobby.
The magnet found in an old hard drive is excellent to magnetize screw drivers. In a pinch you can bang the shafts of two screw drivers together a couple of times which will cause the magnetic domains in the steel to partially align and make the screw driver more magnetic than it was; the permanent magnet does a much better job of course.
Amazing so simple and complicated (or well think) at the same time!
Well done.
This is perfectly what i love the most with flitest :D Guys you rocks! Another great accessory!
I'm waiting for a brushless predator drone or edf powered predator drone from flitetest. In a cool color scheme. David, GET TO IT!
Man you guys are great. You guys definitely have your stuff too gather. Great video can't help but watch them most are very informative.
wow! those are awesome. Now I need to make a digital trip to your store to get them. :) Thanks for being awesome!
Great job, as always. Now let's see it fly!!
That gives me tons of ideas 🤔 Great job.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I like the Bob Ross spin! :) Great RC channel.
I 3D printed all these parts, works perfectly!
I was wondering about putting this in my flying wing project, for yaw. I was wondering how far back should I put the whole mount with the motor on so I can have the clearance on a 8 inch prop so it doesn't hit the wing... and, if I put it that way back, would the wing lose its pitch control. Any advice?
Can you try and make a thrust vector for an edf? I've seen it done in other videos and don't think it would be very hard if you had the right tools, it would be cool to see on the ft viggen. Definitely a fun project to try
Not sure if you're going to mention it, but it looks as if you could build two of these and hook them up to one another to give you pitch and yaw control.
How about dual axis thrust vectoring?
Josh; That was a real Good Video ! Thanks
I am going to use this on my cardoard rc-hovercraft.
Why not do thrust vectoring in the front two motors of a tricopter for forward thrust? You could get some awesome control over
forward flight with even a single step to 15-20 degree forward tilt instead of tilting the whole craft forward. Then you can fly a bit more like a fixed wing craft....
Just a thought.. (I have them occasionally)... All your laser cut ply cutouts have black edges from being burned by the laser. Was wondering if this, basically carbon to carbon glue joint, would be stronger if you scraped or gently sanded the edges back to fresh wood surfaces. I understand this might make the tight fit a tad looser so that might also be defeating the purpose to make a stronger joint. And, modern glues are pretty awesome and seem to attach to almost anything. Am I being a nit picky Pete..?
What's an "RC Powers"?
I need to buy one of these.
My aileron servo's on my easystar 2 are constantly huming lol but they work great and move quickly :D
This would be great to use to mount the new PZ0420H FPV camera on from security camera 2000 . This could be modded to be tapered at the rear and enclosed to be a tear drop shape . Typical direct servo mounted pan systems strip servos way to easily but this would be great.
FT, you are awesome !
Try putting it on the ft-3d it would be awsome
That was great Josh :)
Did your hand vibrating when making this video?
Aerotech Brand CA. North Canton Pride!
could you please make a video for setting up thrust vectoring for taranis 16ch x9d?
what thickness plywood did you use because I have access to an epilogue laser cutter at my school wood shop so I can duplicate these from the plans!
Is your thumb double jointed
FOCUS!!!
can you have a thrust vectoring motor on a plane that's not a pusher
Will this fit in the power pods for the swappables?
Am i the only one who is a little freaked out about the hitchhiker thumb?
Don't panic :D
so close!!!!! i wuz online on flitetest jst when when i went off they posted a vid and couldn't b first one to comment. 54th viewer though!!!
Dios mio pero que buen video!!!
Nice!!
that's where i was going wrong! I should be pressing model parts onto the people i know to get a good finish !
friends make better tables than tables make friends :):):)
Nice...
To which channel we should connect vector assembly...?
Normally u put it on the channel, that u want to support with the vector. On the viggen for instance it is the elevator. If u have a programmable radio, u can even program a switch, that u use for switching the vector on or off so u can also fly without the vector.
The table is your friend.
FliteTest Why do you need 2 tie rods? Isn't one enough?
Would this work on an ft 22?
"Go ahead and"
sweet
How about a UFO with the coanda effect?
where is the viggen build and plans
Maybe they are waiting to release after the build of the other components that go into the Viggen. Be patient, I know we all can hardly wait to build this thing but I'm sure this took months of development and to transfer the plans into pdf full sized and tiled is never an easy task.
We had some unfortunate problems with UA-cam today :( We uploaded it earlier this morning and after 5 hours it still wasn't processing. After re-uploading UA-cam estimated that it would be done in 346 minutes. Still doing everything we can to get it to you tonight, but at the latest it will be on your computer screen tomorrow morning.
FliteTest Thank you Flite Test, I'm sure everyone understands.
FliteTest Sounds like UA-cam :(
Has anyone tried this on a versa wing?
Airboat :O
Me likey
What is ca? I'm new to model airplanes.

Drop the fps rate down on your videos just a bit. Everyone's hands look shakey at 60fps.
God, that was great! " Dick Meltin " needs a job and a life....
First to comment and like. Live Ya guys
I hate all of your videos because you talk in English and you were jackets outside ..the other thing that is so disheartening is that you have shoes on when using a video camera..just noticed some of the stupid comments that have nothing to due with anything so I figured I would add a few...lol
H8edsinclair YOU CANT TALK ENGLISH ITS WEAR.... oh wait nvm
Got a problem in life? Use the table for that ;)
What about for up and down thrust vectoring?
