Happy Landings! Fly outside the box. 📦✈
wait.. one of you fukkers has an ATP ticket?? Looks like typical flight test foam bullshit.. i feel bad for the "BOOMERS" you guys bother at the field with nonsense like this..
pin of shame
Lol pin of shame. Fud.
When you use the term boomer it makes you sound like a 14-year-old kid.
@@Wings_of_foamhit the nail on the head 😂
@@Wings_of_foam When a word is in quotation marks, it usually indicates that it's meant in a mocking or sarcastic way. Hence, the author is poking fun of the 14 year old kid you're referring to.
As a Flite Test employee I love seeing the effort put forth from you guys. Awesome work and Don't give up. Just remember failure is fun, looks like you guys had alot of fun together and that's what is important.
Thanks, David! We had a blast. A big premise of our channel is pushing the message that "not every flight has to be perfect" for that reason.
Just curious, would you have loved seeing the effort put forth by these guys less if you weren't a flite test employee?
love flight test
This video makes Peter Sripol's sketchy AF contraptions look like sound engineering masterpieces by comparison.
Srsly, Sketch Factor +💯
Gr8, job m8s!
My guess is he would have. That's probably why he is a Flite Test employee. @@shelbyseelbach9568
“It’s catching thermals” 🔥
Two left wings 🤣 Can't tell you how many times I've made that mistake. Amazing vid!
LOL. Thanks, James! 😁
😂🙃 Boomer here and this is way too funny! I wish we had guys like this at our local fields. The lack of this kind of crazy and fun stuff, on top of not really being very kid friendly, is one big reason why I long ago left the local fields. Life's too short to not have fun and most kids know how to have fun!
I love your antics. Wish I could meet some people that would be into these types of shenanigans
Big respect for being so creative and not relying on Cad software. Great video G!
It was fun seeing this project in person at Marymoor. Best of luck to you guys on the next build :)
Putting the motors on the front of the wings would benefit the lift by providing airflow over the wing at low speed. The tail could almost be a single metal boom to reduce tail weight.
But yeah the undercarriage needs sorting
skipped through the video to watch the inevitable end.
Wow, you guys managed to put almost as much plastic dust into your local wildlife as FT do nowadays 🏅
AMAZING! Thank you for your efforts both on pushing the limits of sketchy rc aircraft as well as for making/sharing fun content! I know first hand how much commitment it takes - bravo!!
Thanks, Alex! There’s so much more you can do with many different airplanes - including builds - without necessarily needing to fly a plane one set way or feeling the need to build something giant using only fancy build equipment. We want to make the hobby fun and attainable for everyone without feeling artificial fences in the way. Fly outside the box! 📦✈️
someone should make an rc mig-23 because it would be really cool to see its wings fold back and its massive engine that you could put in the back
Blows my mind they even thought this would work....Not the sharpest tools
😂 Oh we knew it wouldn’t by the time we realized where it was headed with the materials we had to finish it but we had a blast working on it. Stay tuned for V2! 😁
Hilarious start...we have been watching Breaking Bad for the first time. Looking forward to round two...
Almost! The missing ingredient was a golf cart launch ☹️
Bro I loved the island boys rap
Don't think of it as a failure. Consider it a learning experience. You guys did an awesome job even if the plane did not get airborne.
We need to get these fellas an Air Force contract
Yall look like those African heli builders😂😂 this was magnificent!
My anxiety when the smash it at the end 👁👄👁
The wright brothers had a couple of wongs as well 😀
Great story! 😊
as we know it, this hobby is 70% building, 5% flying and 25% crashing, still love it tho
Unreal guys!! haha thankyou all for keeping it fun!!! from an Aussie in China!
SO Close!!!
Love it, keep it coming!!!!. Can't wait for u to build a plane to fly in. Perhaps a manned ground effect vehicle
Amazing project. Imagine if you converted it into a gas engine.
I guess I missed the part where the plane "briefly achieved flight" on that first attempt? LOL. A+ for effort. Looking forward to round 2! Thumbs up!
The proportioning of the wing to fuselage combined with lack of power to weight ratio, it never had a chance.
Indeed
Hehehe, at least you had a lot of fun building it. Sorry couldn't fly.
This is the BEST EXAMPLE of how kids today approach a complicated task. They simply give up and want to go home as demonstrated by the one on camera. In my day, if it didn't work, we simply worked harder to MAKE IT WORK. But I guess it's easier to give up and let the government take care of you. WHAAAAAAAAA. Don't cry. Just Do it.
😂
Ok grandpa let’s get you home
That was great fun to watch! I hope you guys get such plane flying!!! Keep it up!!! 💪🏼🔥
Gustov Whitehead would be proud! Good job! It did actually get off the ground.
I would've used kite material for wings , and fuselage
So heavy !!!
🏋
Un lamentable desperdicio de materiales...😪cómo quisiera poder conseguir ese foam acá en Perú☹
FF to the end. You're welcome.
🤡
Delightfully janky. Those wheel hubs are straight out of The Flintstones!
This is what people say not to do, ♥️❤️
This is what effort without knowledge produces . Take the time and effort to learn something about what you intend to do . Aviation is not some stupid video game . Success can only be found with knowledge .
That's what's great about RC. It is a much simpler and more fun form of aviation that doesn't require an aero engineering degree to make things with. You don't need to take it as seriously as full scale - and for that reason it allows you to learn through trial and error. We were well aware the plane was going to be underpowered, but it was a fun project that we'll never forget full of awesome fun memories. Happy landings! -Zach
Thanks for making the video! I'm sure you all learned a lot. Maybe next time, launch from a hill?
Thanks! There's an idea! 😁
Ok so I’m not a part of the flying RC hobby but this could be revisited with copious amounts of 2 stroke power and with enough thrust anything can fly
Oh my god!! love it
"We learn through our failures" or is this Dunning Kruger in action?
Ohhh come on guys! You've got a great team there.
We need to see better results from you! Make a nice STOL design that FLIES!
power to weight boys!!!!!!!
Well done, this video will do well!
Maybe u can try balsa/ply wood for structural and vinyl covering for less weight than the foam
That is literally how they build real ww1 planes
Thank you! I loved it I wish I could do one like that, looks like power is the limiting factor in the over all build.
I think that plane was aerodynamically challenged and ammaturely designed
You got that right 🤓
I thought so hahaha
"We will be trying with proportionate power in the not so distant future"...this did not age well lmao
Dude what in da hell have I built I’ve just started the video
How do u only have 3k subs this video was so well put together
Looking forward to seeing the second attempt to build this monstrosity!
Nice. An unusual video in that I found the last 30 seconds most exciting.
Awesome effort guys!!! Looked like great fun all the way. Thanks and I can't wait for the next project.
Nice try guys!
Some advice from someone who learned the hard way... Center of gravity is everything. The most flyable plane in the world will still stall and crash if it's not balanced, and no amount of anything else is going to fix that. I've seen your other videos and I'm pretty sure that deep down inside you already know this :^)
After that, I've seen the heaviest contraptions imaginable fly with enough airspeed. (My guess with this thing would be 20+ mph)
Thumbs-up for effort and another for entertainment !
Thanks! The CG was fine - just slightly aft which is how we prefer all our airplanes. All she needed was more thrust. 👍
that foam is heavier than you think.
So is this what NASA engineers do on her day off ?
I'm a newbie when it comes to RC planes, but yesterday I got a silly thought and you are allowed to laugh hehe.
What if you made the main wing move up and down as one big rudder?
I would love to see someone making this, but maybe the airflow is going to be interrupted?
Is anyone up for the challenge?
Men, Hi realy like this Chanel, and the Instagram account.
Pablo Escobar would be so proud of you guys fpv long range accross the boarder mule rc planes lol
13:11 Enough pipers have there wings fall off, you're not alone.
It was a valiant effort! Huge props, and better luck next time -:)
I love watching your videos man keep them coming and iam really excited for the proper rebuild of this plane😍😍
foam is not the most light. must use plastic straws to make the wings in a hollow frame and thin plastic to cover the wings. the body could also be made of plastic straw bit must use reinforcements here and there if you want it to carry a load.
Next time build a carbon fiber framework and apply 1/4" foam over it. It will be light enough and strong enough to do the job.
i want friends like you guys have
Great work.. just mind you don't fly it into a skyscraper.
Wowwe, that looked like a pain to build but sure looked fun to do
I was pretty sure it wouldn't fly but I was cheering for it to get up! Good try. You don't learn if you don't try.
You all are the definition of "It's Worth a Shot"
Fun to watch. You get an A for effort.
Just from observing the built. In making the wings. Perhaps they could've made some very calculated valley cuts on the foam side with the hot gun. To create some valleys for the bends. Creating nice and clean lines for the foils.
Well... it "sounded" like an airplane and kinda looked like one so... winning!!!
I don't know if I'm using this word correctly, but I'm going to use it anyway. Quixotic.
So funny don't care if it didn't fly
I love "proof of concept" type videos. The wheels gotta go, LOL. Seems a tad underpowered as well. BUT HEY...seems everyone had a fun time anyway. And, isn't fun what it's about ? Win or lose... it's about the good times....
That was like watching a group of guys try to make a cargo cult airplane fly.
What an amazing project! 🎉
Dude!!
Hey guys I’m from maine! Seeing something cool like this so local is pretty dope! Would love to meet with you guys sometime and maybe offer a little of my nearly nonexistent expertise😂 I’m currently working at Pratt and Whitney in north berwick and I have some engineering experience from high school robotics. (I’m 18 btw)
Lol. I love it. Learned a ton though didn’t they
Design, then build, fun to watch, though!
1k dollars and a bunch of foam and bass wood and balsa wood and electronics and boom instant full size ultra light plane you can fly in if wanted
FINALLY IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS YOU MADE MY DREAM COME TRUE THXX
Some hot glue PVC a few pieces of wood and bam you got your self a full scale flyable ultralight electric aircraft. Look at Peter stripole he built a ultra light out of foam and balsa wood and electric full size ultra light using over sized rc plane electronics
We love Peter's stuff! Awesome guy.
Probably the best vid yet!!!
Thanks! A lot of effort went into this one! - Ben
hope the door doesn't fall off
yeah its' a pretty large plane
see how much... not suspicious... blue stuff your rc planes can carry
SoooGood!!....TY for posting
So incredibly underpowered
You got that right. 😤
Wow, there are a lot of armchair engineer douche bags in this comment section. I shudder to imagine how much grief these people would give me while I'm having fun with my own projects.
Keep doing what you guys are going. I'm glad I found this channel, I hope it does well.
Absolutely legendary what a cool project hahaha
it was a great flight 😀👍
Should have gone with same motor that Peter stripole used and batteries in his ultra light
Haha, looked like a lot of fun and just missing some power
Now you know that bricks don't fly.
This is amazing
