Thanks Banjay science for obtaining the right to Mythbusters and the uploading full episodes to youtube for us to enjoy free. A lot of other companies would put it behind a paywall or subscription service. You da real MVP
When I saw Adam at Fan Expo Vancouver and brought this up he thought it was a pirated upload at first 😅
He hadn't heard of the acquisition yet but he's glad it's easily viewable now and in one place!
Yeah there were some episodes on UA-cam before but quality was quite bad so having 1080p Mythbusters is very cool
Never thought Banijay would've obtain the rights to exhibit the show. i really thought it was pirated upload lmao
Apparently it might be a company that bought the rights for their region and just neglected to geo-lock it on UA-cam. If that is actually the case then watch these while you can because someone at Discovery is gonna notice eventually.
Don't let Boeing know that duct tape can fit airplane.
It cant
@@wingerding didn't stop them from trying
(for legal reasons: this is a joke)
' don't try this at home ' ... me looking around .. Airplane , nope .. 10t excavator , nope .. pond , nope .. dump truck , nope .... ok , i guess i won't them .. lol
Don't try it at home. Go to an airstrip and construction site without permission and try it.
🤓🤓🤓
I suppose, hypothetically, someone could rent an excavator for $500-600 a day, plus maybe $200-250 in fuel.
Compared to the hourly/daily cost of renting a 100+hp sports boat, plus the cost of marine diesel, this person might save somewhere in the range of $200-$500/day by renting an excavator instead of a power boat.
This is of course entirely hypothetical, and should not be attempted.
@@jordanberndt4157 You forgot the factor in the cost of when the wife comes home to find you've dug a massive hole in the front yard and filled it with water! 🤣
You don't know what you are missing. I can honestly say I have done the barge one at least...
For every video of yours, I’m telling myself that: “damn, my son is gonna love this”, especially this one. Thank you mythbusters to make our memories greater and greater!
14:08 mythbusters hits different when u know they werent friends lol
Given that aircraft often had fabric skins, fixing it with duct tale barely seems controversial at all
Welllington bombers were known to return to base with horrific damage to the outer skin
I agree. The excavator myths seemed pretty uncontroversial as well.
Pretty sure this is the first episode they openly acknowledged the tension between Adam and Jamie, I know it was hinted at in previous shows but this has to be the first time they state it to the camera on show.
save us time and timestamp that XD
@@iznasenstart @14:09
Yep… They were beefing..
@@montanajulian1894 Thanks! -from the rest of us
It's not really "beefing" or tension more that they weren't friends outside the show.

"Would it be an exaggeration to say that you didn't really like him?"
"No. We certainly had respect for each other, but we really weren't friends"
I have seen a digger rowing a barge plenty of times on Auckland harbour. Normally they are at the front and the action is like stretching out and digging.
I know it was around season 7 when Discovery latam stopped dubbing the series (thus stopped airing later seasons) so I'm eagerly awaiting for when I catch something I haven't seen.
So this is why I have never seen any of these despite always checking discovery channel for any new episodes
yes exactly, they really over exaggerated this one, especially when the guy says the rudder is gone when it was completely untouched
that "loading a excavator onto a lorrie with itself" is something done quite regulary ... dont know why you are so impressed :O ?
Jamie is a bad ass man theres nothing that man doesnt have experience in. Crazy when you watch this back and see how he behaves in every situation he gets thrown into.
its definitely a bit sketchy but the escavator into a dump truck trick happens plenty on a daily basis even long before this came out heh
I agree. There was not a single myth in this episode.
@@aandykf tbh I still doubt how long a fully duct tape plane would hold up I wouldn't want to fly it lol but otherwise yea I know from experience for small repairs it does an awesome job so no myths really here
@@jjay2771 the tape is simply streamlining the fuselage. The structure of the aircraft looks to be an aluminium space frame with a fabric skin to reduce drag. Only the wings and control surfaces need skinning and duct tape can 100% handle to task.
i should not do the excavator trick in my studio apartment? :((
no, only the duct-taped airplane test ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
@@asscrackbandit69 they literally said AT the excavator trick that you shouldnt try this at home.
The owner was probably like "I didn't know I was signing up to actually destroy the skin of my plane!" 😭
Should have read the small text at the bottom of the paper 🤭
holy sht, that pilot was a psychopath lmao
Nah, both pilots knew it was going to work before they took off.
We have a count on how many times Adam has told Jaimie, “I owe you!”.
Duct Tape Airplane - WOW! Just pure awesomeness!
Getting the excavator on the truck… That's how we've always done it. I didn't really understand why that should be such a big deal. Just make sure the surface is solid and as flat as possible, and the breaks are on in the truck, and off you go!
Banijay has reawakened my crush on Kari Byron
Good timing.
23:36 if only david dobrik took these precautions 4 years ago he wouldnt have been sued (or nearly killed a friend...)
Hence education and curiosity is so important. Jaime notices the whiplash effect on the guy, and considers it a safety risk. It's hilarious that this episode came out years before these goobers performed the stunt. Nobody on their entire media team bothered to look at the risks of doing such a thing
14:09 sad for him to say
I'm a little surprised Adam was allowed to do the backhoe climbing stunt when they had a backhoe expert there. But what do I know about these things 🤷🏻♂️
something folk may have missed with the rowing excavators? The single one was pulling the bucket through the water like it digs. The guys here are rowing sideways. Less surface area creating force. With the "Pull" method, you're literally using the properties of the bucket to move not the sides.
Just an observation.
Yeah but that doesn't really work with 2 excavators. They said they couldn't get access to a big excavator so they had to settle for 2 medium ones and the barge they had was almost twice the size as the one in the video.
Still worked
Now show me the plane complete a high G maneuver without falling apart.
Pull out of a nose dive, and I’ll be satisfied
I am absolutely shocked they actually tried flying that duct tape plane. The insurance people must’ve been on holiday or something
Now that's a pilot. Just feeling the plane and the elements.
G'day,
Ahoy ..!
Ten years ago I was wearing a
Potato-grade Headcamera, while working to set up and operate a Firefighting Airbase, and while about to connect the Water Hose to an
Air-Tractor AT-802 which had landed and was about to be refilled with it's Engine idling....
However, when I saw a Patch of Skin torn off and dangling from the inner side of the Ventral-Fin on the bottom of the Right-hand Stabilisor ("Tailplane")...; I signalled the Pilot to shut his Engine down, which he did, then got out, and we conferred.
I admitted to being something of an accomplished Aeroplanologist, and pointed out that,
1) a Stone had broken through a previous Patch over old Stone Damage, on the same location..., and 2) this probably happened as he last landed - and that if left like that then at Full Power the Propeller-Blast may well extend the torn Aluminium Skin, enabling the thus loose flapping Patch to interfere with - and quite possibly jamming..., the Gap between the Elevator & Stabilisor..., Rendering the Aeroplane uncontrollable in Pitch...., And 3) That I had some particularly strong Duct-Tape on hand, with which I was prepared to effect a
Servicable Field Repair...; to which proposal he agreed, after considerable searching conversation as to my previous doings with Hairygoplanes...(!).
At that point I stopped the Camera, performed the Repair, and videoed the result...
Before flying it, my work was examined by the pilot of a different AirTractor - who was a Licenced Aircraft Maintenance Engineer, and after he'd viewed the
"Before" Video and having inspected the Repair, he actually
Passed the Aircraft as Fit to Fly..., Operationally, over the Fireground - until it could be properly repaired after the
Section-44 Statewide Bushfire Emergency was over.
Because the damage was done to a previous Skin- Repair, I wanted the Civil Aviation Safety Authority to be made aware of the
Recurring issue..., so I posted the Videos to my YT Channel, wrote a Letter with Diagrams and extensive explanations included, and
Snail-mailed the lot offto CASA...., suggesting that they look at the Videos in YT and figure out how to stop Air Tractors from trying to
Stone their own
Tailfeathers
To death...,
Whenever landing on
Gravel Airstrips...(!).
By the time the NSW Volunteer Rural Fire Service tried to chastise me..., for posting "Unauthorised Fireground Footage onto Social Media..."(!) ; I was already in possession of CASA's Snailmailed
"Thankyou !" letter....
So the RFS Media Unit was instructed to go away and practice trying to
Piss up a
Rope which is tied to the
Overhanging branch of any
Convenient Tree...(!).
Two years later, I was notified of a Freedom Of Information Request to see my Submission having been made, to CASA ; so - apparently somebody somewhere (at the Air Tractor Factory in the USA, perhaps...?) took notice, possibly of my scathing criticism of the AT-802 Designer's decision to try to "hide" the retrofitted Triplane Tailfins (neccessary after extending the Nose when deleting the old heavy Radial Engines, and replacing them with lightweight Turboprop units...) under the Stabilisors - where they're sitting-Ducks for all the Rocks which are regularly thrown out by the Tyres - when landing on Gravel...
If you backtrack me to my
"Personal Aeroplanology..."
Playlist, therein lies a
Nest..., of Uploads covering the whole incident ,
Beginning with,
"Firebird 251, AirTractor (VH-WTJ) Airframe Damage..."
followed by
"Tape-Repaired Firebomber..."
then there's a Video of it's first flight with the Repair - after which it flew Waterbombing Missions the rest of the day.
There are another 7 Videos posted consecutively, variously regarding aspects of the matter, at that time, all on the same Scroll ; as is my reaction to the subsequent,
"F.O.I. Request..., Paranoia...; W.T.F...!?!?".
Two years after the whole event had occurred (!).
So, there you go, and now you know that - as far as I'm aware ;
My Duct-Tape Repair...
To a 3,000 Horsepower Waterbomber, lofting 3-Ton Hoppers of Water onto the Fireground, cruising at 180 Knots..., might perhaps possibly hold something of a Record for Airspeed and Engine-Power known to have been successfully
All held together by a homemade Duct-Tape Airframe-Repair
Effected by a self-taught Ultralight Propeller-carver..., and then duly signed-off on - by a qualified
L.A.M.E. to return to Operational Duties, during an Active
Bushfire Emergency.
We only had 3 AirTractors..., and it was a Breakout Day...; so...
Perhaps, because my Duct-Tape kept all 3 Waterbombers Servicable..., all afternoon ; we lost no Houses that day.
Nor any People...
Which was quite the
Optimal
Outcome ; in my view.
And, then, the Raindance kicked in, and the second day's Firefighting was totally washed-out...; and had to be cancelled.
True Story...(!).
With the Videos posted a full decade ago, plus coverage 8 years old of the subsequent
FOI Paperwork from CASA...
All to better
Nail
Down the
Reality...;
Of what did indeed occurr,
In real life.
Unscripted (!).
Have a good one...
Stay safe.
;-p
Ciao !
Planes used to be built from wood and canvas (instead of steel and aluminium, oar thin plastic in case of these light planes) and flew just fine. So fixing one with duct tape doesn't sound impossible. As long as the force carrying frame is still fine.
Obviously the tape won't last, so it's not a permanent fix, but a one-way trip to escape from the middle of nowhere .... yeah, that can work.
Is it just me or does the engine of the duct tape-repaired plane sound like a moped?
excavator climbing is actually a sport now.
I've seen them do the Excavator paddling on the TV series Gold Divers! Which came out years after this.
'it sounds good' keep it up..
Half of the RAF tornados were held together with duck tape
Back in my day, we never heard..Don't try this at home. Because we were not stupid!
So you just went to someone's private property? Im only 37 but definitely did shit like this. And even a idiot with a bit of guidance could do this. If we got hurt. 🤷 That was on ourselves. 🏅🍻😅
Nowadays microwave ovens say you can't put cats in them to dry them when they're wet. Crazy world.
rip Grant Imahara
❤
32:05 lol, replacing the skin with heavier skin isn't doubling the weight of the plane, pretty sure the engine would weigh more than 10 rolls of tape
11:20
Grizzly bears have blunt claws though for digging, running and gripping.
Myth invalidated
In Europe the loading a mini excavator into a truck is an everyday thing
yes, you wouldn't wake board with an excavator at home, you would do itin the middle of a body of water
I thought they were gonna use Buster for the airplane stunt.
Was I the only one imagining the silver tape rolling itself off from the airplane? Anyways, great episode!
Lol given the fact they told us like 20 times it might...
Have they not seen those guys digging for gold in Alaska, with barges powered only by excavators?
How do you get around copyright with posting these?
Stabilizers weren't damaged in original photos.. why add that layer of damage to the recreation?
i`ve seen excavators climb mountains before so climbing onto a truck isn`t nothing to brag about, and as for fixing planes with duct tape that is nothing special either, now if they could build a sub with duct tape that i would want to see.
14:12 😮😱🤯
28:12 left side stance - regular Turing backside. Right side stance - goofy frontside. Big difference but similar. Personally, backside is harder
Backside turns are easier on a wakeboard, much more natural to lean into them. But I'm unclear on turning labels, I would call Adam's turn backside, but if he was approaching a rail he would be heading into a frontside B/S... So I think I agree with you?!?!
Also, were you also a little triggered when Jamie swung his beret whilst holding onto the hand with his back hand?
@@nicholascrow8133 i skateboard and snowboard so that’s just how I got my stance lables but I do understand what you mean and I feel like you’re also right. Never wakeboarded sure looks fun. Lol didn’t notes the hand till you mentioned it
@@6sixtysix I've only done cable parks which are great, no need for knowing someone with a boat and is basically a skatepark on water. I dont snowboard I ski (Im a fruitbooter), but still, wakeboarding gives you that carving feeling in summmer!
I have to say the ones we see here are actually real, i have seen those being done, personally.
DUCT TAPE PLANES? THE FAA SAID UNITED USED TOO MUCH TAPE.
It's really too bad that Adam and Jamie didn't get along. Their on-screen cooperation was legendary.
We wonder why people get injured using angle grinders Kerrie
This is not a 10ton excavator that he loads on the truck
Kari looked bad ass with those claws. 🔥
I want her to maul me
Giggity
Yes those Claws.... the Daisy Dukes Jeans Shirts steal the show❤❤❤❤
James Bond Jamie
There's a reason they call it 200 MPH racing tape
They didn't like each other 😭😭😭
Adam clarified in his videos that they respected each other, they knew the other could always do the job properly and that they generally agreed on most things. Just that they never hung out after work hours.
I wonder what the FAA had to say about that?
They do state in the episode they use a B type aircraft which falls under different guidelines than the actual plane in the myth so they did check on the legality .
That it's an experimental aircraft. You don't even need a license to fly a plane if you build it yourself.
Does anyone else watch these with massive use of the skip forward button, to avoid all the "filler"?
Duct tape has to be the GOAT invention for the benefit of mankind!
but please dont buy thise bootleg duct tape, i bought it and i crashed my plane :(
That proves planes are over priced
That is one sexy Bear
Yeah, she's really easy on the eye, eh? My nasty little imagination went to the homophone of bear when I read this comment!
Truss frame planes don't need the outer skin to fly ffs.
That plane can fly without any of that cover so it's a stupid myth again
Wow, this is the only time I saw Adam acknowledge their dislike of each other on the actual show.
David Dobrik should have watched this, he was to stupid to understand simple physics and almost killed someone.
i was looking for this comment, the fact that the first thing they present here is: if you lift the skier away from the excavator and up, the person ends up going towards the excavator...
@@pablomedina4329 It is really just logical, just spin something on a short string and then stop suddenly rather than gradually. All that energy that you put into it has to go somewhere.
it is, and yet sooo easy to fuck it up@@CharlieTheNerd91
the plane with the tape, its not like they are making any structural parts, they just replaced material with a different marital, why is this even a myth?
also they didnt lose the rudder like the guy says, it was completely untouched
The shit people can do in a digger is limitless. I'd wager every digger myth is totally plausible. You just need a lad with too much time in his hands and a few years working The machines.
