I'd just like to appreciate how good they have gotten at getting air to air footage. If you look back to some of their first videos and compare the air to air with the newer ones, its quite impressive. Keep up the good work guys!
Tbh, I would really like to see the pusher wing design on the big tank. Although, realistically I think Josh's design is the best one. It looked like it handled really well and looked pretty cool too!
The second design was definitely the best: superior control, flew inverted, and took off and landed with ease. Though the nutball is definitely my favourite for hilarity it wouldn't be as practical against an A10
Build the nutball! The "wings" could fold down and it'll look like a tank. When the A10 attack it can surprise the airplane by deploying the wings and chase it in the air!
I love all three designs. The nutball looks more like a tank but the canard one flies great. If you can make the Nutball one fly better with a flight controller I would go with it, otherwise I say the canard version wins.
Hi guys! *Today i flew my scratch built FT 3D for the first time!* It was my first full flight with landing gear. I was succesfully off on the 2nd take, because the first try failed due to the fact that i forgot 1 extra battery in it and it was super heavy. I crashed on takeoff and broke the elevator and the motor mount. Everything was fixed within an hour and the next day i was off. It flew great, thank u so much for your work!
Congratulations for the job of all team members but the definitive fliying tank desing it's for Josh B. We will be to wait more videos and projects!.Thanks for all.
Josh's plane/tank by far the best design. A nutball has no place in real aviation. Stephan's not bad but scaling up would need larger wings for the bigger tank and those are off the shelf so don't know how that would work unless you reverse engineered them into foam board. Either way, Josh's has great flight characteristics including stability.
🤣😂 You guys are like a 'Mad Macgyver ' If I didnt see how you made this stuff happen, I would have a hard time believing its not CG or something. Its like magic, only its very hard work and serious talent. Kudos to your team.❤👍
The Nutball kept the tank looking more like a tank than a plane, if it just had more stabilized control I give it a solid vote. Josh’s had the best flight.

It's GOT to be the NutballTank, it just HAS TO! ALSO: With the Nutball version, you can make the "wings" fold down on the sides so you can still drive it around like a "normal" tank! :D
Nobody on UA-cam has more fun than the FT guys! Awesome episode...all of the designs were great but I’ll be damned if Josh’s tank didn’t fly like a legitimate model airplane.
Since your armed A10/tank battle, I've been very intrigued by the possibilities of getting some real dogfighting out of these RC planes. In the interest of making it a reasonable fight, I have to go with Josh's design. It provides the stability to make the tank an effective gun platform in flight, which gives it a chance to bring down the A10.
Sitting here at the kitchen table with the Hopper boys: Luik and Judah vote for Josh’s, Levi likes Jeremy’s, and I want to see Stephan’s fly (‘cause it’s a glorified wing). ;) But, at the end of the day, we all think that Josh’s is the most stable and enjoyable design. Can’t wait for the next installment!
Does anyone else miss the days when we'd get more than 1 video a week? I need my fix man!!! I'm jonesing for Hobby King Reviews, like the Avios Lockheed C-130 Hercules for example. That'd be fun to see you guys talk about!
Awesome!! Would have to be the 2nd launch! It has lots of durability and movability! The 1st and the 3rd launch, wasn't worth trying for the actually full size scale launch!! Was fun to watch!! Thumbs up 👍🇬🇧
This is great. I wish you did more things like this. As for which you should do on the larger tank, I think it should be Josh's as it flew the best: flew the longest and seems to have the most control.
Based on this vid, gotta go with Josh. However, I would like to see the Stefan design with the extra motor. The nutball was doomed from jump. Should have went with the Soviet design.
Dear Flite Test, I was wondering if you could help me with a problem concerning my DX6 controller. I don’t know what happened but, now the elevator stick controls the throttle and ailerons while the throttle stick controls the elevator and rudder. If you can help in anyway that would be much appreciated. Also, I’m new to the hobby. Thanks, Jack
This channel is so freakin sweet its like a dream come true. I wonder if you guys can take a air matress make a skirt for it like a hovercraft and use those big motors for thrust and see if it can drive over water
The dreaded pole returns to take out planes😂. Man that was awesome made a giant A-10 now flying tanks😂👍🏽. Well my vote goes to Josh’s design cause it flew the best and unlike the nutball you can have fully controlled flight😂👍🏽. Another awesome vid can’t imagine what other projects will happen after the flying tank. You guys should redo Steffen’s to see if it’ll fly😄👍🏽, and that nutball crashing into the pole was way too funny😂.
Josh's design is probably best suited for the full size version. Maybe configure it more as a tandem wing rather than a canard. You've got an awful lot of frontal area drag to overcome, and since air molecules don't scale, well there you go. The tandem wing will get you some slower flight speeds.
I seriously love you guys! Sorry, but I was literally crying from laughing so hard when the Nut-Ball hit the pole! I think the winner for scaling up was obvious when Josh did a touch and go with his design. Can’t wait to see the big one fly, and it IS going to fly!!!
My tank has a ways to go I’d say! ;) 😂
Stefan and Liz Ostergren 😋

the way you use an old trash plane is brilliant man, like transformers, +1 for Stefan
The tank with two wings ! That thing was insane! I want to see it scaled up!!
Looks like it flies pretty good for a tank.
It just floats ☁️
agreed
just look up old ww2 designs.
Josh's was by far the most controllable and efficient. I see that design continued in principle to help the battleship fly.
I like Josh's "TankEze" design. 👍
Yesss! The "heavy Eze"
The "Iron Eze" or, even better, the "Eze Iron!"
M1-Ez
Surely you’d call it the Eze Eight
Iain Wilson I prefer M1 Ez. And don’t call me Shirley.
Josh's design seems the most practical.
( no lie, my jaw, DROPPED, when he pulled the roll and it just hovered. )
cant Wait to see Big "Bertha"fly!
Josh's tank plane, for sure... in fact, when is the kit coming out???
I would buy a kit built tank !
How much for a kit?
Yeeees when is the kit coming out
I was about to comment that.
Are you guys going to put out diy plans for Josh's?
I'd just like to appreciate how good they have gotten at getting air to air footage. If you look back to some of their first videos and compare the air to air with the newer ones, its quite impressive. Keep up the good work guys!
Josh's design is more supportive of the (eventual) gun capability. Nut ball can only lob mortars.
Lobbing mortars can be super effective, it keeps the enemy on its toes lmao
That theme for the nut ball was funny
It could get lodged into the ground from recoil
How would any of these change the gun capabilities?
...and even lob itself into the enemy without warning! LOL
DEFINITELY the two winged canard style Design. That thing seems to work fantasticly, and it looks super cool as well!
Fantastic work, guys!!!! 😃
And, sorry, but... Josh's design wins this time!
Agreed. That thing is just awesome.
Of course, best flying tank dessign ever!
Agree
Agreed
Careful Josh, the Army might come calling for your help building a real flying Tank. lol
3:35 his laugh is syncronized with the song 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Was just about to comment that. It's so perfectly on beat.
Yeahh
Yeah , so true.... 😂
I laughed so hard when Josh hit the pole!!!!! I'm voting nutball FTW!!! Awesome job guys!
Nutball!!!
3PropS FPV me tooo!! I never react with videos as much as I did today with this! 😂😂😂 that “thunnng” sound made me die.
i lost it!!!
A true ringer. Lol
SOOOOOOOOOO HILARIOUS ABOUT JOSH'S PLANE WHEN IT HIT THE POLL I ALMOST DIED FROM LAUGHING I LIKE PEED IN MY PANTS LITERLY
Josh's design wins!! Also would love plans to build what Josh did just on the small scale!!!
Tbh, I would really like to see the pusher wing design on the big tank. Although, realistically I think Josh's design is the best one. It looked like it handled really well and looked pretty cool too!
Josh’s design for sure. It was so maneuverable. Great work all you guys!
Make Josh's design. It's going to be a great aerial battle tank against the Warthog.
Nah bro the warthog is undefeated cor years even 10 f14s cant shoot it doen
Down*
I cant get over how good the drone pilot recording the tanks mid-flight is. He always does an awesome job.
It’s a bird no no it’s a plane.... wait is that..... a tank?
Anddino15 nice one , made me smile 😉
Bet they didn't see that coming
Nah its a plank😂😂😂
That is so funny anddino you should be an entertainer

make the one with 4 wings and 2 fins
Yes
We need flying tanks because it make enemy confuse which should bring it down. Anti-tank or Anti-Aircraft
SealOfToaster both
*laughs in flak 36*
Both is better
Anti-airTank

Josh’s design will fly better, but the nutball will be nuttier
The level of enthusiasm you guys have whenever you make something fly is impressive!
You need to add a directed thrust fan in between the treads to give it VSTOL capability.
OH a hover tank!! With that airsoft gun from the A-10 on it.....
The people building the F35 would like a word with you...
Gotta give this to Josh. Can't wait for the full scale build. Now we need a full scale combat with this at the next FliteFest.
That's why Josh is the BOSS!!!!!!
All of them are really cool but Josh‘s design is the clear winner.
Nutball would be wasted effort, go for Josh’s design! It worked after his second redesign and flew perfectly!!
Congratulations for the job of all team members but the definitive fliying tank desing it's for Josh B. We will be to wait more videos and projects!.Thanks for all.
if nothing else Josh's will make a great snow or water plane
Using the treads as pontoons would be great. It would then truly be a Land/Sea/Air vehicle.
I vote Josh's tank/plane. The flat spins looked so cool.
Hello? Yes. This is DARPA. We are very interested in your work.

1970: we will have flying cars
2019: we have flying tanks
There were flying cars before the 70s. Just look.
Yet BETTER
👍🤣😂✌
1942:we have gilding light tank
All of yours were great, but I think the surface area of the wings on Josh’s build are the most viable when scaling the tank up
Does anyone else miss the days when we'd get more than 1 video a week? I need my fix man!!! I'm jonesing for Hobby King Reviews, like the Avios Lockheed C-130 Hercules for example. That'd be fun to see you guys talk about!
Josh's design, definitely! Great job all three of you though!
Make a space shuttle with actual boosters and seperations! But not a small one😉
The nut ball looks more like a tank, but for good air to air you need to be able to maneuver. Josh has got to be the one.
"It will fly with enough power"
Yes, and so well everything else in the world
Jahvon Abrigo will*
Awesome!! Would have to be the 2nd launch! It has lots of durability and movability!
The 1st and the 3rd launch, wasn't worth trying for the actually full size scale launch!!
Was fun to watch!! Thumbs up 👍🇬🇧
Looks to me you all have to build two more tanks, so all three designs get in the air. Anyone say tank column.
This is great. I wish you did more things like this. As for which you should do on the larger tank, I think it should be Josh's as it flew the best: flew the longest and seems to have the most control.
Aerodynamics doesnt matter when you guys build something it flies eventually
I love those edge 540s in the back ground. Especially the red bull one. SO COOL!
Based on this vid, gotta go with Josh. However, I would like to see the Stefan design with the extra motor. The nutball was doomed from jump. Should have went with the Soviet design.
So cool. I vote Josh's version. Can't wait to see it full scale.
They need to make a ww1 fighter plane! Like if u agree
They should make the Fokker DR.1 or the Sopwith Camel because they are the most famous planes
@@JSMEsq They've had a Dr.1 and SE.5 for years lol

I have to vote for Bixler's design! Awesome work guys!!
I thought you guys quit making videos that was a long drought in between Flite Test videos!
Shiloh Store yeah 😢 i am missing them
I agree
It was probably due to FFTX
Props to the pilot, he fly's like me. In other words, can't teach what he knows but is a solid pilot.

make a giant glider out of one of those big sheets of insulating foam
I honestly envy everyone at flite test they're all just little kids having fun and making a living at it😂😂

Josh's should be a speed build kit! Flies amazing!
“Tanks don’t have curves”
Me: *laughs in M7*
*Laughs in almost every Soviet Tank up to today*
Josh's absolutely! If the goal is to make it fly, it's a no brainer.
Gonna have to go with Josh’s design. Better for combat. Although it would be fun to see a big old target for the a-10 to wreck.
*1930: We’ll have fly cars in the future*
*2018: Weird flex but okay....*

Can you guys make a giant f-22 raptor next?
How did Josh's tank fly so well?! It lands so beautifully, wasn't expecting that at all.
