As flite test grows so do the projects. This B17 is going to be the coolest thing ever from Flite Test 10 year subscriber here and I've seen it all. 👍👍😎✌👊
But are you a patron?
3 year sub here this channel has been fun 😊
@@spammerscammer I I don't patronize
Awesome project, You guys should cover the whole thing with fiberglass!💪
OMG A rather rare moment is the Chanel comment on another Chanel
@@pecintatanaman7577 channel*
LOL, I was just thinking of Xyla Foxlin and her love of fiberglassing everything and how they would make a great pairing for a project. :D
Sir, you must visit FT. Maybe you can attend one of their FliteFests
Maybe you need to go show them how to do some fiberglass work that way they can upgrade what they're doing
Love it, guys! The start-to-finish single project videos were fun, but for bigger stuff like this B-17 it's super cool to get more in-depth on a lot of the engineering and construction, and the random interjections... flying through the door, talking about tinywhoop plans - it feels like a fly-on-the-wall sort of perspective on what your day to day is like, and as you go bigger and better on projects like these I think that'll work really well! It's also a nice homage back to the vlog days... great stuff guys, looking forward to this year.
It’s been so great to follow you guys from such early days. You have never stopped being Ambassadors to this great Hobby. Looking forward to the next video 👍🏻
Love this one! That wire cutter is an impressive beast.
I'm definitely feeling nostalgic after this one. The throwback music, shenanigans, and vlog style video bring back blissful memories. Congrats on two million! Here's to two more!
When it gets hit in laser tag, a panel should fly off from one of the wings or vertical stabilizer. You’d only need a tiny servo for each panel. Every hit would be signaled by a different panel being “shot off”.
Congratulations on hitting your 2 million subscribers 👏! Love the watching you guy work on different projects, and can't wait until the 20 footer is finished. 💯👌✌
I don't know about model flying rules in the US but here in the UK 20ft is the absolute limit for the wingspan of a model, anything over is considered as a full blown aircraft and is subject to CAA (FAA equivalent) regulations such as wing loading, annual safety checks etc.
So it may be time to get Peter Shripol back to actually fly IN IT as pilot, he's small enough and light enough to do it!
😬
This B17 is going to be awesome. A full flight crew plus the opportunity to involve as many others as can be mustered, within reason of course. What a fun way to get everyone involved.
Congratulations Folks on 2 Million + Subscriptions! Well Deserved! Love Your Channel! Go Fort!
Love the nerdy engineering stuff... the more the better!
You know, with one of your big B-17 models, you should make a BF-109 model of the same scale, and do an RC reenactment of the flight when Franz Stigler escorted the severely damaged B-17 piloted by Lt. Charlie Brown, back to safety. (An extremely great true story from WWII...)
*no bullets fly - Sabaton plays ❤
At that point they'd make a bigger version of the real deal
Might be a bit hard to get it to fly with all the damage that the original had though
@@darkstalker3855 As much as they shot up the smaller B-17 model with an apple cannon and then fireworks? :D
@@darkstalker3855 i always thought itd be cool to use some sort of clear material like thin plastic sheets to add damage/missing bits
Congratulation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm following you guys from the start. You have gotten me into planes and I thank you for that. Amazing hobby, amazing channel and amazing people. Big hug from Portugal with love.
Love ya brother!
Congrats on 2 million subscriber!
I just built you big Guinea and I have been loving it, I hope you business can grow and the RC hoppy community can get bigger so more people can enjoy it
Thanks for your support! :)
Like that you try new concepts and keep evolving your content!
I think that you're on a good way now. New crew, new tools and new format all working to getter to make up good quality and fresh new content!! 👍
After a couple of years with out subscribing to you, I'm back subscribing and looking forward to see what you re bring for us to enjoy in the upcoming times! Thanks! 👍
Another great video guys. This Old Man from North Carolina so looking forward to seeing it fly. Love what y'all are doing for our awesome Hobby. ✈️🧔💝
You chaps have come such a long way. Thanks for your content, jealous of your job! 🇬🇧
I was watching tons of videos out of the blue on B 17 bombers and I stumbled on to the other video where you shot apples at it back in september. At the end you said at 2 mil you were gonna do it again with lasers. I looked down at the sub count and saw 2 mil. I came to the channel and see this video posted 6 hours ago. The world works in mysterious ways. New Sub
Yes it does. :)
You don’t even realize how happy a new video makes us all!
I wanna WHOOP with Jessie!!! The idea's are fantastic guys! Creativity spot on!!
I can’t believe after all this time this project is here😃👍👍 hats off to you guys again for hitting 2 million!!
That is going to be a huge plane when it's done. It really puts it in perspective seeing the fuselage stood up.
Congratulations! Amazing build and concept. I was happy to hear you are going to expand on the design process! Cheers
Congrats for 2M subscribers!! Well deserved!!!!
Congratulations again on the 2 million subscribers , and I can't wait to see the finished product of this B-17 bomber it's gonna be epic .!!!!!!!
I love what you guys do! You guys really deserve to get your own Discovery show on TV. :)
I really like the more vlogy style of the video. It just brings back this kind of family feeling that we had with the original vlogs. 👍
Wow. So exciting. Used to say the sky’s the limit, that’s so over. There is no telling what’s inside the Bixler brain for ‘22. LOL
Congratulations on 2M subscribers! Love you guys, and have flown so many of your planes! Thank you so much for making this hobby not only fun but accessible to those without a ton of money!
Thanks brother!
JB
This is got to be the best project flight test has done and I can’t wait to see the finished product.
This is gonna be awesome. Can't wait!
The B17 is looking like it’s going to be an awesome aircraft and very versatile too at that, and the outlook for what your doing to the clubhouse sounds awesome too.
The ball turret needs to have laser tag gear, and be able to move. That would be epic! I should have watched the video before commenting LOL!
👍👍Congrats on 2 million well done while having fun !!
Multiplayer RC, nice!
Congratulations!!!
I would love to see you guys build a giant (or even small) PBY Catalina. Would be fun for some water based shenanigans
Awesome finally the B17 Flying Fortress. Do I hear bomb run dogfight?
Ahh, the amazing B17 my favorite plane in the whole world
What a great project!!! Your foam wire cutter is amazing
Congrats - been following you under various names since the very early days, I think even before or as your logo was being designed. Used to be only two of you! What's next, five million?
Congratulations on 2 million subscribers. 👏 🥳👍
Love the large builds.
I'll be following this project! Another awesome idea from the FT team!
Guys I have always enjoyed your creative prowess I I've been watching you from the very beginning yes in your garage garage keep doing what you're doing and keep the young interested and ambitious to learn more don't stop what you're doing you're doing a great thing God loves you and I want you to have a very good year
Love ya brother and thanks!
JB
Really enjoyed this video, and in particular the new kind of format the video had. Looking forward to more!
Thanks for the kind words. :)
This man is impresive
You scared the poop out of that puppy when you landed the plane inside.
Everything you guys do IV dreamed of doing as a kid. This is so awesome and I wish I could help and be apart of it! Because I’m saying it again, this is bad ass!
Yes!! Your first build with retracts!
Congrats on the 2M subscribers 👌🏻 The B-17 100% needs a scale escort.
Best channel on you tube for rc aviation
POV at every crew station would be epic!!
This project is going to be awesome!!!!! I'm excited!
Congrat's GUYS!!!!!
I really can't wait to see this baby in the air!!
I hope you guys might design and build a Lockheed C-5 Galaxy one day! Love the Boeing B-17 as well!
Everything is this episode I love it, looking forward to see the B17 and the whoop track. happy new year FT
It's great to experience your progress from small planes dropping ducks to planes with airsoft guns to planes with streamers stuck to the tail to fpv laser tag combat with two fighters to bigger and bigger planes with turrets and everything.
Fpv, remotely controlled, ball turret gunner, with paintball guns. DO IT !! 🔥
I’m still waiting for a 185% scaled FT-Edge 540 and a giant cargo plane to make 0 gravity parabolas and put a GoPro inside to see things float around in it
Bruh watching an old video and one of you say, when we hit 2 mil, we’re gonna do something crazy, I look and see that you are at 2 mil! Congrats and hope to see a crazy air Battle!
Love the Onewheel collection
Congrats on the 2 million! B-17 build looks fantastic! Was that a giant scale D.VII I saw under the Christmas tree?? 😁
Please build the B-29 Superfortress
Your new Kit bird reminds me a lot of the venerable Darwin Garrison Push-E-Cat. Especially the polyhedral wing version. Darwin would be proud! I’m definitely gonna order one!
Congrats on 2 million!
Congratulations on 2 million
This is an awesome new format! Love the content in this episode!
Gooooooo B17 I CANT WAIT
I like it already looks like it's going to be exactly to shape of the original
Please tell anyone interested about the hobby that flitetest exists because this channel is underrated and deserves a lot more
CONGRATULATIONS ON 2 MILLION SUBS
Can't wait to see this beast take to the sky 🔥👍✌️
Because of this Channel i made a carboard plane yesterday Now i only need to insert Motors
I like the new format, great video once again. cant wait to see it finished and in the air
Fantastic build team , waiting for next video .Can you revisit your Old video from 8 years back where you showed a JA37 Viggen build with hot wire foam pieces and EDF. It was my childhood dream to make that jet and fly. It would be very helpful if you recreate that video with latest build plans
Yes I love the B-17 great choice!
Fellas! This is absolutely awesome!! How about an Avro Shackleton next? Contra Rotating props and all. You'd be crazy not too! (SAAF Livery lol)
OMG - you are living the life that every kid who loves airplanes wants to live! AMAZING!
Congrats on 2mill! This project looks awesome and I can't wait to see this think fly!
Edit: Maybe try coating it in kevlar and goop? Make sure this thing stays around forever!
I've always wanted to see you guys make a B-36, I think the engine nacelles would be tricky but you might be able to 3D print them and just stick them to the wings.
Manning the belly turret in fpv would be insane!
Yes I love! the vlog stile mixed in with the vids
BBob in the house!
Also - I approve the Tailspin concept.
Try expanded polypropylene. (EPP). It's more expensive, cuts a bit hotter, and doesn't sand well at all, but the stuff is bulletproof! It will absorb an amazing amount of abuse...Add a layer of packaging tape, and you've got a "forever" combat plane!
Nice as ever. It's been a long journey.
“If we hit 3 million subs’, Dave has agreed to be the first human passenger in a 100% foam board RC plane of our design!”
Dave: “I’m going to do what now?!?”
That's going to be epic!!! I was wondering if you guys have ever worked with a Vacuum Chamber type flight? Maybe YOU guys can make the best Space Ship!!
The fuselage sections remind me of the Airbus factory. Next you build a beluga transport plane....
if only i had access to this equipment. Id love sometime in the future make this available to buy as a pre cut foam kit
If you want to build another RC Giant, I think a collab with Ramy RC will make the plane even better! Still a really nice airplane though!
The liborator needs some love!
You should paint her up like the Collings Foundation’s “Nine-O-Nine”. My Dad got to take a ride on her before the tragedy. 😞
This is gonna be freekin great 👍🏻
Congrats for 2 million subscribers ya
I have been here since the crazy Swedish Vegan Jet pilot ... aka David was on the team. You guys have come so far.
Be nice to see a reunion of all the people that were apart of the journey.
It was such a pain watching you stuck on 1.97 for ages! Every now and then I would check and I remember seeing 1.98,1.99. Love the stuff
Wow! Amazing!
