Guys, Dr Dave nailed it, “If you can dream it you can build it”!!! Totally incredible design, flying art!!👏👏👏👏
AliANsE ArE REaL!🛸🛸
There was some great glider stuff you did years ago that was excellent watching. I'd totally love to see some more of that. That build challenge you did with David was such a fun episode. Totally worth revisiting.
So cool! Awesome transitions! Please build a Wright Flyer with wing warping!
i love your videos, im trying to buy a build your own plane and i just dont know what to choose for the power pack/battery etc.
The transitions in this episode are top tier, great job FT
Ahhh, "Flight of the Navigator" such an under rated film and featuring the great Pual (Peewee) Rubins as Max with a moniker last name because of the incident at an adult theater. 😊
I've said it before and I'll say it again, you guys are my favorite UA-cam channel!
Is that a low temperature Mono- Kote like film you are using?
I'd love to see you try make a flying aircraft carrier again.😄 Thanks for the videos!
You certainly should have added LEDs inside the ring...... full on UFO look!
Wow, very cool! You should make the front gear retract like the Rutan Long-EZ, there is plenty of fuselage for it to tuck into.
You all should try to make a flying DeLorean from "Back to the Future"
Awesome ship! Y'all should revisit the Heli-Carrier! But make it bigger!
This one is amazing! Great work Gents. If you could more fully retract the gear it would look even more amazing but so fantastically fun to watch. Thank you for the work.
I'm really digging your Iron Giant, and great content!
OMG 'Flight of the Navigator' .. Thankyou!! I remembered bits of the movie from childhood but didn't know the name of it...Yes Please do it.! Thankyou.
I would love to see a Big Klingon War Bird, I remember an episode log ago with a small Klingon War Bird, maybe it lends itself to edf's...
Great Job guys
Did the landspeeder ever work with people in it?
Final chapters in completion of land speeder are in the works now. Really cool stuff coming up.
That is outstanding, you need to cover it in LED's. Great work everyone
I was surprised just how nervous Bixler was to fly this, Yall crushed it!
Thank You!!! There were a lot of unknows 🤣
I would love to see the Sea Duck come back in some fashion.
I use drywall screws installed with a screw driver to hold various foam sheet’s together while the glue sets, remove after the glue cures!
FLIGHT OF THE NAVIGATOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG YESSSSSS PLEASE!!!!!!!
Make a flight of the navigator ship like my boy brought up..!!!!!💯🔥🔥
Now that's just cool! Very nice build, guys.
Build a SIMITAR! Although I may be biased. See the Simitar thread under flying wings in RC Groups!
Dude at this point you are the gods of foam planes
Please, do a Monster Spitfire build and fly video. That would be amazing to watch. Monster Series is great!
y'all need a modest size little steel building for these bigger projects. love the design of the orbit
That build was a LOT more stable than I was expecting. How translucent is the mylar you used to wrap the formers for the donut ring? I was wondering if LEDS would be visible through the coating
Would love to see a "Zepplin-esq" version of this.....leave front and rear open.....all engines and thrust inside......control surfaces on the outside. ( think hollow flying cigar )
Keep up the awesome dream
You guys should do a larger version of the twin sparrow, or an xl sparrow. Maybe using the electronic parts from the booming flerken.
That was fantastic!
Oh that was awesome!!!! It seems very stable in flight. Great job!!!
You guys should become chiropractors with that snap at 2:35!
A weekly build-off of all the FT planes in order of release and then some flying challenge the team members have to do with their plane would be something I'd watch.
Great Job! Next generation use 3 of pods and vtol no landing gear.
That Flew Awesome Guys... Woo Hoo...!!!
That's awesome, could you get one of the drones to fly through the ring mid flight 🤔
That was a Great movie!
Doing minis again would be awesome. Maybe some 3d printed versions as well?
RC Battlefield with the mighty minis and the zepplin: part II
You guys continue to be amazing 💪. This Old Man from Washington NC enjoying with my coffee ☕. Y'all have really come a long way in building your dreams. ✈️🧔💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝
it's flying so good! we'll done guys! I have suggestion about the next project... can you guys make the ship from the movie Internals... that big chip like ship😁
That was awesome! What are the chanceabilities of making one similar, but turning the back of the plane into the front? The front would be fixed with a very short nose. Turn the circle wing around putting your lift up front. Keep the left and right horizontal stabilizers and short stationery rudder in the rear. The short wheel stance stays up front as well and the rear wheel becomes a much shorter tail dragger. Oh yeah, keep it silver. I think this would make for an even more alien looking spacecraft.
one of you made a comment during the video about the age of zeppelins . I say do a zeplin inspired ring wing ticking most of your control surfaces towards the inner part of it
Congrats 👍
Reminds me of the box kites I flew when was much younger.
Amazing video lots of love
Back to the older one part videos awesome
I would love to see a flerkin with a completely pointy knose. See if the speed and aerodynamics would improve.
Best glue for foam is: FOAM FUSION
Cheers
Ok, I would love to see you guys take another try at an X-Wing!
You guys did a video a long time ago, but the plane didn't fly well. So an x-wing the flies like a plane (not a quad-copter).
ua-cam.com/users/shortsk0mtCcfsMW0?si=SQmzzy7wUrt2RH4v
I've made one, but would love to challenge you guys to build one (or a fleet) too!
Reminds me of the Starfield star born ship
Wicked ship!! Flies beautiful :D How about an Arkanstol FPV game/competition? :D
Amazing😃👌 I think Skunk Works at Area 51 is going to have to pay you money for this aircraft design.
WAY too Cool guys !
Rigid airship, please. Make it so that mylar party balloons fit in between the spars and those will hold your helium. It doesn't need to be fully buoyant, I would bet. In fact, it might not really need lifting gas at all. And, if it doesn't float too much, it would be able to glide.
Do Lone Star's flying Winnebago 😁😁
How about having another go at the marvel shield carrier with landing on it
Love it guys, great job!!
That thing would look amazballs if you painted the circular wing spars black, wired it with LEDS then covered it in a semi transparent film. in fact set LEDS into the foam of the body then film over them so they are not visible unless lit
How did Flite Test determine the the lift??? 👍✈️👍
I always wanted a R/C skydiver. With drones now aways it should be easier to do.
Whatever happened with the Iron Vulture from Tale Spin you guys were working on?
Puede hacer un platillo volador que vuele 🛸🛸🛸🛸
Did you reverse the air foil on the lower half of the circle to have the lift the same as the upper half? It is an amazing site flying.
Pretty awesome. I love seeing how excited you guys get when these crazy planes work!
Never gets old. :)
Cool. Although I wish they focused more on consumer builds
That Blender needs to be revisited. An XL size would equally be nice.
This is amazing
Could you take that orbit and change out the thrust. Instead of the props could you use something like the dyson bladeless fan? And a not an impellor but an ionic pulse thruster to move the air into the output?
Now I have to find Flight of the Navigator and rewatch it after all this time!
You should enlarge some more EZ birds, like the Hornet.
Does it have to fly tail heavy? Looks like a big Pacifier
Does the aura work for quads too?
I was hoping that you could help me find which box/ package has the wood screws, x-mount and smaller screws on the DH.98 Mosquito bundle
You guys should have an FL-XT kit build off to see who can build the biggest flying 1100kv motor build.
These would need to be a similar lifting body to the flight of the navigator spaceship.
That was cool
Could you guys do an informative video explaining the whole faa remote id situation and what it means right now? Keep hearing mixed things about being able to fly rc airplanes and not being able to. What does it all mean with the 250g weight limit? If i am flying under that, do i not have to worry about all of the new confusing stuff with the FAA?
Now it's time to go with a faster motor. 😁
does the flite test shop ship to nz?
So cool!
I love your video
Needs a handle on the back so you can use it for an air scooter like those underwater scooters.
Couldn't you use a type of foam board that can be bent into a more organic circular shape with the use of a heat gun? Or would those types of materials be too dense or too heavy?
There are a number of weird, sometimes-successful aircraft from the dawn of aviation from Italy, France, Russia and Germany Maybe make a Horten HO229 bat-wing fighter, some of the ridiculous Dornier flying boats, the Stipa-Caproni, Savoia-Marchetti S.66 twin-hull, the Caproni Ca.60 Transaereo, etc.
Why didn't you use a lifting airfoil on the circular wing?
It would be cool to have another Star Wars project again
wonderful episode, although I think you should go back to the roots a little and make some small or medium model like a kit or a build to inspire the kids to make. .ah those good old days I sat up all night making your models
How about y’all resurrect one your first giant builds? I’m thinking… the fowl flyer? 😉
How can i find out the cg 🤔
Hope Josh is feeling better! He was looking really green in the title pic
the circular wings look like a tortoise or snail shell if you put some eyes on the front ;) very gracile i would even fly with a bigger version of it looks pretty safe
Don't know if you've done it before but how about an actual flying saucer?
When are you going to make another video about the hovercraft
Hover craft is coming back brother! Exciting episodes ahead. :)
NANU NANU 🖖
@FliteTest How do you decorate the planes shown? What materials did you use to decorate?
I just built my first tiny trainer glider out of two pizza boxes. Use your great plans! Put two pages on one A4 sheet to scale it down. Used same build techniques, though with uhu power glue (it's what I had). Used a little tape on some key areas to strengthen. Thinking of using a school (display or teaching) though would laser cut to avoid knife use. Glides well! Would like to fly it, but inner city UK so no go 🫤. THANKS SO MUCH for all you guys do.
Now yall need to add laser guns to it lol.
So it’s a ducted fan with a wing around it?
