EPISODE MUSIC►
David Cutter Music - www.davidcutter...
Build, tune and fly our FT Micro Beaver PNP! ua-cam.com/video/Swy6MC7fv3M/v-deo.html
This was a great educational video. Loved the editing and visual puns.
I'm loving the twist on the original music
Very interesting aviation history. The repetitive title almost made sense to me. That's because in the early 1970s Beaver Island in Lake Michigan decided they needed an air ambulance. They bought a Beaver, still painted OD green. A Beaver on Beaver Island!
Kitfox episode next PLEASE!
You should build a RC flapping bird! there are some other versions on youtube but i like to watch it on your channel.
I’ve missed the old flite test theme song. Glad to hear it again.
The old music makes you happy 😎
Agreed! The music and the old intro sequence should definitely make a comeback!
Yes, me too!
What’s that song called?
"Nice beaver!"
"Thank you, I just had it stuffed."
Classic. 😄
Oh, that's a classic Leslie Nielson line... ^_^
Best fart jokester there ever was.
Yep that's all I came here to say too. Lol
YES! YOU BROUGHT BACK THE OLD INTRO MUSIC! I LOVE IT!
bump it up
Taking lemons> making lemon-aid. Taking foam> making planes. Seeing you film from the basement and adapt is exactly what I have loved from you guys for all these years. Keep it up. PS- As a Canuck I am obviously biased about all these planes. The Caribou is a true BEAST that deserves an episode ;)
@MKme Lab, I couldn't have said it better. I really like this in home setup. Good job guys!
@@willyam9735 Going back to full-on original tunes was a bonus too.
I love this format, it's like having a good conversation with a friend who's nuts about planes like I am! And you can cover more issues, like this one (history) an even give more detailed information about anything you do on the regular videos. Good job, love this channel!
I love seeing shots of Lake Hood!
All this classic FT and vlog music are keeping my spirits up in these dark times.
"it's no match for the power and performance of a beaver"
Me: * giggling like a complete fool * haha
You could buy your own micro RC Beaver if thats more your style. :P
@@stretchpadawan1 Wouldn't that be a remote controlled fleshlight? :-P haha
Thanks for such an uplifting video. My dad worked on those engines 60 years ago.
Very good Summary of the Beaver, thanks for taking the time.
Being a lifelong aviation nut, I loved this video. Good information but not overly stuffy or too serious. Just an interesting look at an iconic aircraft. I remember going on tour of DHC when I was a teen and the dash 7 was just coming into being.
“Up to Elevation” would be a perfect name for the series!
Wouldn't it be better with altitude instead? Elevation seems like a rock climbing or mountain climbing channel.
You mean like “Up to Speed” from DonutMedia?
Louis Suguitan Yes! Exactly.
@@matthewf1979 I thought the same thing when I saw the thumbnail
Loving the retro vibes with the old theme tune! Nice one Alex ☺️
I am a big fan of the Beaver and enjoyed your history lesson of this iconic plane. Let's do some more!
“Punch Dickens”
I wonder if he was a prolific sack tapper 😂😂😂
James Goldsworthy, Dude... that cracked me up. If he was not a prolific sack tapper i am sure he loved his beaver and waxed it every chance he got!
Hey James, I knew you’d be here!
-ACEPILOT109
This funnily enough is very similar to Donut Media’s Up to Speed, but for planes! Heck Alex you even kinda look like James Pumphrey
15:00 oh... well no wonder!
Air-headed Aviator I just commented with on how they should do it each week other iconic aircraft and manufacturers. Trying not to say like u p to s peed so they wouldn’t “copy” them. They’d be onto something special.
Moh powah baby!
@@scubapro54 That's the sound of a typical Otter/Beaver Pilot
I definitely like this kind of video. Thanks for bringing back the old theme
they are the warriors of Alaska!
Anything by de Havilland is brilliant!
Worth the time. The Beaver is one of the hardest models to fly in RF9. Stay Safe!
My favorite prop ever is the DHC-2. I just love it.
You did great research. As the owner since 74, of the 49th. Cessna 150 that first flew in Nov. of 1958 still have this plane and it has taken me across the Nation several times. Still fly it about twice a week.
I love this type of content, more please! And I'm glad you all are being safe and taking this seriously.
The Beaver is really great and still used a lot. Last year Harbour Air in Canada started testing one with a retrofitted electric motor system, fully battery powered. Since they only do short distance flights the lower range works well enough for them.
So it‘s essentially a full-size version of the Beavers you guys have flown in the past... 😄
Iconic A/C that opened the Canadian North and Alaska!
Man...editing is FANTASTIC. I was cracking up. Excellent vid good sir.
I love this plane always have. more shows like this would be epic. i want to see a compete engineering brake down of each aircraft you offer as kits.. ! talk about their history and do a mini documentary on each
Hey flitetest while we are all stuck at home this is the perfect time to start drive on back up again! You can just do reviews on rc cars! I personally like to not be bored by watching drive on!!! Of course I love the flitetest videos to! But drive on has been my go to! Stay safe!
You gotta do more of these! Enjoyed this immensely! Thanks!
YAY! Love these birds. Flown many hours in them in the coastal mountains of BC working in the bush. Tractor of the sky. Once took off from the back end of Toba Inlet after a day of working in the rain. Six guys and all their gear. Soaking wet. Floats were under the water. It was late and there was no way we were leaving one guy alone on the beach overnight. We'd let the women go out on earlier flights, a chivalrous mistake that almost cost us a night on a beach in a torrent. Leaving all the big people for the last flight was dumb. If we couldn't take off with the full crew, we agreed to play paper/scissor/rock to pick the two people who would spend the night. Pilot taxied out to take off back towards shore and into the wind. Became obvious quickly that wasn't going to work. With little time to mess around, the pilot turned it around for a downwind takeoff in 2-3 foot chop. Took a bit but as we looked down out of the window, the floats slowly emerged from the water and eventually, we were planing. At that point we were 2 km down the inlet and into bigger chop. The pilot started aiming at waves and pulling up as we hit larger waves. After several tries, he succeeded in getting the very overloaded plane into the air. We landed on the north end of Vancouver Island in near darkness. Got a photo of that plane somewhere. Gotta go dig it out.
The roar of that radial engine is something else. Forget all conversation on takeoff. Even with headphones. My brother in law has two beavers on floats and flies in the northern coast range supplying remote camps and lodges. Need to get up there for some flights. Was thinking this summer but looks like that won't happen. Guess I'll have to watch videos about beavers instead!
I'd be interested to see that picture.
Nice video! Beavers really are a pilot, and mechanics dream. Standing under a running R985 to tune the carb is the ultimate rush!
I grew up on the North End of Lake Washington. I have watched hundreds of take offs and landings of Beavers off the lake. Kenmore Air flew a fleet of them from their and on Lake Union. Never realized it was such an iconic plane.
Some of us think it should be Canada's national bird.
I would like to see you guys build a foam board model. Master series would be great.
I love watching the videos I'm 67, but makes me feel 12 again
Keep the little boy alive
Enjoying the throwback music! 😍
Love the classic intro music and the rest of the video was great as well.
We want more, we want more.
Keep promoting the stay indoor stuff too.
I love the history of the Beaver and the funnies that you inserted. Keep it coming!
All the beaver talk's got my engines revin'
One of my fave aircraft. Sound, robustness, performance. What a great plane. Swiss Army knife of aviation.
I like learning more about plane history.. My vote is more videos like this
That intro tune, made my day
I really enjoyed this video! It’s nice getting information about planes that Flite Test builds and sales. Maybe you could call this type of videos, “Higher Knowledge”. Keep safe and stay healthy!
Keep doing this each week with other Iconic or popular aircrafts or manufacturers. I guarantee people would love to get know unknown facts and get up to speed on information and history of the machines of flight.
This video has been one of the best I think I've seen from y'all. Even your old ones!
Awesome! I just went to Dollar Tree and stocked up on 50 sheets of foamboard to stock up for quarantine 😂
one of my favorite things about old planes....you can always tell the sound of the radial engines. sometimes, a bi-plane or war bird flies over my house. I can always tell because of the sound of the engine)
Hope you guys can get back into some long range type fpv in the future, that was one of the coolest things that this channel did back in the day. I remember watching David Windestal’s penguin and his setup. A lot of things have changed in that area of the hobby in the last 5 or 6 years since you last did a comprehensive video about that.
I've been binging a lot of vintage flite test lately and I wish more of the longer range stuff still applied, it seems like most of the resources for getting into FPV now are for quad setups. I think Andrew Newton and ArxangelRC are doing a good job of covering fixed wing and long range FPV, respectively
In addition to that it would be cool to see a Masterseries fpv long range type wing.
I live this history lesson from Alex. Best think I have seen all week.
I lost it at the metal parrot - that was too perfect! ^_^
Dude, who doesn't love a Beaver? Greatest utility aircraft ever.
Great job Dude, I like the retro FT background tunes too.
Have to love the Beaver!
Next on this format, which is a fantastic addition to the channel, should be the Cub! Classic aircraft which trained so many pilots, both GA and R/C. Souped up versions, adaptations and copies have served in the military, mail and bush as well.
Thanks for this WFH content. It was fun to watch and I appreciate the Beaver even more now.
Thank you. What a great segment.
I need more of this! Next plane should be the C-47.
Alex what a great video. An awesome addition to your channel. This Old Man from North Carolina has been watching y'all from also day one. It's amazing how far you have advanced in the content of your shows. Yes I'm a Beaver fan. Love my FMS Beaver DHC-2. I installed a sound system. Not only does it look great but sounds awesome. Love what you are doing for our Hobby. ✈😎💖
That's outstanding - the sound is a large part of the experience. I live on Vancouver Island and when I'm out sailing the sky is thick with Beavers - a close second to mosquitoes (sadly not the DH variety). I don't even have to go on deck to know when one is taxiing by or flying over.
Please make some more videos like this! They are really interesting, it would be great to see you guys all taking aircraft you love and making similar videos.
An outstanding idea to compile aviation history. Carry on!
Well done! Enjoyed the history of the Beaver!
Really enjoyed this! MORE PLEASE!
You guys need to do more of these history lessons i really enjoyed this. I also really enjoyed the humor.
I flew in one. We were 6 people in total, along with a lot of stuff. There was so much stuff in there that I had a few bags on top of me and it flew fine. Truly amazing
The carrying capacity is legendary, just as the video shows. "If it will float, it will fly".
I love how relaxing this style of video is :)
Great video. Thank you Alex and FT Team!
Wonderful aircraft. I have very fond memories of doing several hundred skydives out of one on the 90s.
The beaver has one of the most versatile speed and flight envelopes! (In my opinion)
I thought I knew everything there is to know about Beaver. But I stand corrected. Thanks Eddie
I don't know either but it gets Me to take out the garbage, mow the lawn, fix the fence, till the garden, wash the windows, and even do dishes ? Ohhhhhhhhhh the Plane ! My bad, carry on. Love these planes !!!
Loved the quick history lesson. Something different than what you usually do and I liked it. Would love to see more videos like this followed by you guys flying the rc version of it.
Awesome job Alex. Thanks for the fascinating insight into this wonderful aircraft. Love the format.
Well done Alex, nice informative with a little humor to spice things up!
Wow, you can do a lot of things with your beaver! In all seriousness, thank you, very enjoyable content!
Great episode. It was nice to hear the classic intro music!
I love the old theme song, it's comforting in a weird yet very good way. I was thinking this seemed similar to "Getting Up to Speed..." and then you thanked them for the inspiration, awesome. You should call it "Getting Up to Flight Speed" or "Getting Up to V1".
guys absolutely amazing you gotta do this more often!
Bought the Beaver. Great plane. Fast! Trying the floats this weekend. I like to play with my Beaver!!
i was serving in the RAF and was posted to N. ireland and we shared the base with Army Air Corp a couple of helicopter units along with a Beaver recon flight . You talked about the noice well i can attest to that every time one took off is sounded like we were being dive bombed LOL and to cap it off i drove past the AAC musiun yeasterday and there is a beaver outside by the car park and it brought back some memories of a great time in my life.
We have five Beavers here in Southwest Alaska in the town of Bethel. I love them!
Great video Alex! I had no idea about the history of the Beaver. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Bought my FT Beaver last night! Can’t wait to take it to the sky!
I really liked this video, it was pretty cool to learn some of the history behind the planes that influenced so many RC versions.I hope you'll do more.
This is an awesome series! Can't wait for the next one!
Nice presentation and summary of this plane, if it hadn't been interesting, I wouldn't have looked at it until the end. My compliments!.
Honestly this is my kind of content!!
Most favorite airplane!!! Thanks for a fun video!!!!!
I love it! Educational videos about the rc planes we love!
honestly i was somewhat tired of your videos lately and love this one. keep it up!
REALLY enjoyed that. You presented more than just facts and figures. Woven to together with great talent 👍⭐️😀
This video is awesome, and I think you should keep doing these informational videos about certain planes, keep up the the great work!
Excellent History lesson about the origins on the Beaver, just when i thought i couldnt love beaver more you made it happen. :)
Really nice job on this video. Good the learn all the history behind Beavers and otters. I spent a year as a Army Crew Chief on an Otter in Vietnam.. As part of the crew I was able to fly on it every day for a year. Thanks for your hard work on this video,
Kessel run? YEAH BABY!
I really enjoyed the video. I think a series like this would be awesome. Gives me a greater understanding and respect for the planes we build and fly in the RC industry and their role and impact they have made throughout history. Awesome!!!!!
First time here… and I’m in love with the beaver, and of course your awesome video! Thank you, well done and great research.
Excellent video, keep them up. Happen to have logged 2500 hours on the float version of DHC-2 in Northern Canada. Flew CF-OBV number 004. Used to fly two canoes, one on each float at the same time. A real work horse and a treat to fly.
Sucks being stuck...keep it up you guys are why I bought my big cub
Awesome video, I love hearing about the history of planes
I live just 2 miles from Kenmore Air Harbor where they overhaul the Beaver and the Otter. Gotta love those planes!
Hi from across the pond UK would like to say a great video you learn something new everyday as I didn't know dehavilland made the Beaver on my 32nd birthday many years ago I had the privilege of flying shotgun with a Scottish pilot around the skyline of Seattle this particular beaver was fitted with floats it's had a radial engine a memory to last a lifetime keep up the great work on flight test glad you're safe been watching you guys since the beginning of your channel🤟👊👍😁 kind regards Phil England UK
