THIS!!! THIS is the Flite Test I've been missing so much. Back to what made me love Flite Test in the first place. What a fun looking model! THANK YOU. Now, if we could just get you guys back on the "plans will always be free" train from back in the day...
Apparently they started doing this to protect their intellectual property? Which is confusing because how can you steal a free airplane design?
This wasn't even that long ago either.
@@StanlyTheWolf Chinese sellers started ripping them off. Yeah, it's a free plan, but that doesn't mean you can profit off of it.
@@StanlyTheWolf People were taking the plans and then selling them. They were also making kits from the plans and selling those as FT kits.
Their excuses are pure B.S.
The real reason is GREED!!!!!
The kits are a bit pricey, but building the planes from scratch using free plans was not only a learning curve in itself, but having to do slight modifications because you built it yourself was also a great learning experience. Hopefully we see plans for this someday in the future, the free plans got me into flying!! This plane looks sweet, i love how versatile it is!
I get why they stoped giving away all the plans. Im bummed they havent figured out a way i could pay for just the plans yet. Not some limited onetime release of whichever select planes they happen to feature. Paid individual downloads or a different tier of subscription service or something. Building from plans has value to me, i for one would pay for it. Im sure the'll work it out. This plane looks awesome
@@wheresmynamego1152 They are still working on details on this. For now FTCA membership is $1 or $2 per month and you get access to plans.
Oh and they've been talking about this in the podcast: www.flitetest.com/articles/podcast-episode-213-planes-plans-and-problems
@@ulaB Yeah I’ve listened to a couple lately and I’m a paying member. They send you the featured plan each month, you do not gain access to any additional plans. You don’t even get access to featured plans from before you joined, even if you ask. I’m still happy to be a member I still buy stuff from FT I just hope one day to buy plans from them too.
Whats the price
The intro hits me with major nostalgia.
The madmen brought it back!
Yes!
I’m so happy they brought back the intro with the intro music!! It makes the episodes feel more like… episodes. Lol
Yeah made me think it's an old vid lol
@@Xiphactinus not completely
I really liked the retro style intro. It reminded me of back when the other Josh was there. same thing with some of the corny tutor jokes. Plane looks really cool.
Really nice to see you rediscovering your roots. This plane will most likely end up being one of my new favorites. Peter's 'Bushwhacker' will always be my all time favorite. I certainly hope the build plans will be available for download.
I'm always happy with new-era FT content, but it's nice to be treated with the old-style intros and a classic-style challenge every so often!
Customers who can't afford to buy the kits can only build these with the plans, please please please release plans for this aircraft!!!
@readi_board what company in Canada are you referring to ?
Not sure what company you are talking about In Canada. Check out our podcast where we discuss the plans issue in depth.
@@FliteTest What episode?
What if you sold the plans for 5 dollars to access them, I used to love building your planes now I can't build any new designs or get the kits
@@jswilson64 www.flitetest.com/articles/podcast-episode-213-planes-plans-and-problems www.flitetest.com/articles/episode-214-more-problems-plans-and-planes
Its glad to hear the old intro song again!
I think it would be really cool if you made one really big plane that has to survive the swarm. The swarm is a bunch of tiny r.c. Planes that have a sticky nose that sticks on the bigger airplane.If the bigger plane lasts for more than 10 minutes the big plane wins.
3 minutes. Condensed action.
Just found your channel and have binged everything. . so much so that within a week i bought the FT Tutor "getting started bundle" ... i never realized i would be able to make an RC airplane .. but it was as easy as can be thanks to your kits/vids! Cheers!
This Old Man from North Carolina always enjoying your videos. It always amazes me on what you dream up. Love you guys. ✈️🧔💝
MY FAVORITE UA-camR!
I hear the old intro music, I click "like"
*Edit* you guys got me into so many things: FPV, traditional RC, and now I have a major DIY spirit for a lot of other things
As a fpv drone pilot, I've decided to dip my toes into the world of fixed wings. The tutor is going to be my first build and first bird! Going to paint it up in that classic yellow cubby livery. Beyond excited for better weather and building! Clear skies yall :)
This is the first FT video I have watched in a while, and boy does this bring back nostalgia ! Love the throwback style, hope you keep it up in the future!
A new design!!
Ikr
@@Hitycooking wtf
Classic intro, Classic Ft plane full of diverse capabilities, I’m hooked!!!
The paint and color choices are awesome. Each is a unique character.
Looks a lot like a normal width bushwacker - another great FT plane
Just built this plane, flies beautifully. Can't wait to start modifying it. The lack of plans still bums me out but I dont want to be yet another guy beating that drum.
Nice to see a return to the flite test roots
These are the best type of planes fr, always loved the bushwacker 💯
Fun one, appreciate all the efforts.
you guys really go the extra mile.
Now to hit your shop to support you guys.. .
maybe I need a custom hatchet....
Thanks for sharing
This is awesome! I am very excited for these plans to be released!
They wont be 😢
@@Youdontwannaknow.. They will be in December for FTCA members. That's $1 / month. Also they've explained the situation in the podccast: www.flitetest.com/articles/podcast-episode-213-planes-plans-and-problems
@@ulaB exactly, its for money now though. The broken promise
@@Youdontwannaknow.. It's not for the money. It's to protect their intellectual property. You still have access to nearly 70 free plans, plus the ones released by community members on the forum which would not exist without Flite Test and which hosting fees are payed for by Flite Test. Flite Test also is a strong advocate for the hobby, spending their time talking to politicians, so we can still fly at all. Oh and that besides all the other activities like the STEM program, community gatherings, etc.
You pay five times as much for one servo, but you are not willing to pay a dollar for plans that you can reuse again and again?
Wow that look really cool! Kinda reminds me of STOLs
Great video Flite Test! Looks like a very cool plane! I was wondering how to get the 3d printer files for the bomb drop? Are they free or do you get them with the speed build kit?
OHMYGOSH the SOUND of that spinning challenge wheel .... "toot toot toot toot toot ..." XD XD
I seriously almost got a wet Tooter when stephn said let's spin the wheel of destruction. This is great content. So funny...so good
0:22 "This effect requires GPU acceleration" lol
17:55 the Tutor Shooter LOL !!!!
Best Video Of Flite Test Ever!!!
I have been loving the podcast lately, keep up the great work
Wait What....OLD intro music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes please
I like the new intro to the video! The compilation is really nice and accurately captures what flitetest is about 👍
If everything holds together I will build one this spring.
We Seaplane pilots call the maneuver a "Splash & Go".
@2:32......a crosswind Touch-n-MOW
So cool ya'll are having all the fun lol
Outstanding video. I really like it. 🔥🔥👍💪💪
I'm really excited about this plane. I've built and flown the Simple Cub until crashed beyond repair. I think this design is a few steps up on the Simple Cub.
So, how does the model fly with flaperons?
Update... I've built a 5 channel, tail dragger Tutor. What I have with the flaps is a STOL Tutor. I'm amazed at how slow I can fly my STOL Tutor without it stalling. I built FT Storch style slats but can't see any reason other than curiosity for putting them on my plane. I did upgrade from my rescued Simple Cub 935kv motor to a FT 1050kv motor with a 0945 prop. Motor upgrade made a substantial improvement in flight performance.
So, I'll be painting my STOL Tutor because she's a keeper. Plan on building a second Tutor this summer with the Turbo wing and "C" pack motor.
Great design guys! 👍
Call it the hydro tutor 🔥🔥
What would be an interesting project would be to make an amphibious plane that was experimented with in the UK during the end of ww2. It had one large float that retracted so as to blend in with the fuselage. Two wingtip floats also retracted. The theory was to reduce the drag from the floats.
I have waited for a small airplane to build again, thanks👍
I really like the challenge wheel. Would be fun to see that again in future videos.
I absolutely love the challenge vids You guys should do more of these 🔥👍✌️
Build a life size model airplane... Maybe P-51 or P-40... Fly it... Do your thing... Then at the end, have a guy actually sit in it... "OK... Here we go...!" but then, he crunches through its bottom... Comedy ensues... :D
@FliteTest - so what is the BIGGEST you could possibly build this plane? Wit your biggest electric motor that you could find, and the biggest servos to throw the biggest control surfaces. And how big a wing can you make from single sheets? (or could you go even bigger with multiple sheets?) Just how big could you possibly go on this thing - and would it handle the same?
Please make a Monster Series F4 Phantom RC sometime soon!
You all did a great job. What an enjoyable video
I'd like to see Mike flying more 3D on the channel its really cool and you have a few 3D kits we never see.
Bring back the a10 please
I’m super exited from the old into
May I offer the name "AQUA TUDER" Awesome knowledge. Great content 👍.
Is this a better choice than the simple Cub. It's hard to learn without planes to learn on and I'm trying my best to make it happen. I need at least a couple trainers I would think. Hoping for the best option
I am thinking of getting this plane as a kind of new pilot, but I was wondering if I need a gyro for this.
Pretty amazing airplane, guys! 😃
Fantastic work!!!
Stay safe there with your families! 🖖😊
To _MY_ mind what would be ideal for a trainer (or "Tutor" ) aircraft would be one where you could shift from a high dihedral wing to a lower one without changing anything else. I sill definitely say that the FT Tutor does NOT have the typical dihydral angle that many trainers have.
You can build the wing with as much dihedral as you want. But I will say that the stock dihedral is fine. Just maiden-ed one yesterday with the 3-channel configuration and it flew great. My son had a hoot flying it. It has about the same dihedral as the old well-loved HH SuperCub trainer.
And if you want multiple wings with different dihedral, just trace the wing parts onto foam board and build as many as you want.
I wish we could talk you guys into building the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D's "BUS" from the first couple of seasons!
Hey guys. I'd really like to build this from scratch. I can't seem to find the free online plans. Will they be going up soon? Here in Australia, the freight & the wait is not practical to buy the speed build kit.
Good job on the planes
I really wish we could get plans for this one. I’d literally pay for them!
They are still in the process of figuring out how to do the plans in the future. Check out their podcasts on this. First one is www.flitetest.com/articles/podcast-episode-213-planes-plans-and-problems I think
You can purchase plans for the Tutor by becoming a member of the FTCA.
Intro is back!
That was a awesome video
this reminds me of that one guy that modified the tiny trainer's fuselage design
Idea, put a model rocket thruster on the seaplane hull and pontoons.
Hey, give me the templates to print the plans, please
First 🥇
We are FTStem subcribers and would LOVE to build this plane before the weather keeps us grounded.
Please release the plans so we can get these things crashing ASAP.
I see a streamer battle in our near future.
Hi, have you thought of makinga BSG Viper MkII, and a Cylon raider?
I think this will be my first plane. I wanted to build the Commuter but it isnt in the store :(
Love it and I love the name Tutor, basically the same name as Apprentice. Smart ;)
I was in the market for a water plane that can train me to fly, also I am loving the new intro!
Can we buy a printed cargo drop box? I do not own nor have access to a 3D printer but want the cool box! Please and thank you FT!
Awesome 👍👏👏
What type of drones do yall use to take the videos?
Can you please do the F-35B?
Amazing 🔥
How much different is this than the simple cub? It seems like it pretty much fits the same criteria.
The wing is symmetrical for Tutor. Curvature on top & bottom of wing. Simple Cub is asymmetrical with aerodynamic curvature on top and flat on bottom. Tutor then
can fly upside down without a problem. When the public plans come out just build the symmetrical wing and place it on the Simple Cub and now you have the Tutor.
Is this different from your cub I know more options. On this one. Wings
I didn't know we could say "chinesy" lol love the hatchet
I don't know if you have made a Enterprise of Star Trek, or the eagle 1 of space 1999 (an old English TV series). So I give you suggestions.
hey flite Test to day is my birthday
Still would like a cheap 60 to 70 mm (I have 64 mm) pdf trainer so that way the prop is protected
i would love to see everyone at flight test make a plain and the only rule is it has to be between suite sizes then but them all up in the air and fight to the death
Where are the plans?
Do you guys have electronic that will self right ? I’m beginner. I used to fly helicopter a lot. No 3D Juust hover and scale flying.
Please help flight test people.
Those are awesome 😎
Awesome
Yaaasss
Maybe you should experiment with wings to find out how slow can you go. Unstallable wing? Maybe.
Where is the bomb drop stl ?
Do any of the kits include a tricycle gear setup?
Flite test you guys should make a jet link a f18
And let Peter help you guys with it
Very cool! Plans please
What drone do you use
Hi guys! Where to buy this material?
Can you build an A-37 Super Tweet?
Guys you should build a masterseries se5a that would be a great plane i guess
Looks alot like the simple cub just a bit more agile
