I lost it at that last scene of chad running. Seemed just like a bad movie! Great to see you guys having fun flying fpv, makes me even more eager to get my own setup!
Trappy is an excellent pilot, I just wish he'd respect FPV a little more. David however is an excellent pilot also, just a little bit crazier and brazen me thinks... Major Bixler...gotta love the guy for his candor and realness :) Keep the Flitetest videos coming, much love!
Really cool Video. I cant thank Flite Test enough for your entertainment and educational information you provide. I'll be honest, I like the "entertainment" value most. Trappy and TBS may be controversial, but they sure put on a great show. Thanks again all of you.
you guys are awesome, this ispires me to pick this up as my hobby. i've been flying the DJI phantom, but i'm looking to get alot better and get some sort of this equipment.
What video frequency did you guys fly on? Looks like 5.8ghz. I though 5.8ghz doesnt penetrate well. You're flying between brick and metal with no problems?
I think he is right there is, it takes the community standing up and saying that we don't want to hurt anyone, and showing those outside of it that we mean no harm. The issue I take with him is that he is inside the community and still beating the drum of fear that surrounds it. It is so counter productive, especially since that if there are laws passed against any UAV it will be against all UAVs, that means NO MORE HOBBY FOR US.
they are not polarizing. we have the same "like to dislike" ratio than Flite Test or any other FPV pilot out there. you just blow up this negative side like it was a 50/50 debate, when in fact there's 99% of guys trying to convince you that 1% that you're the only ones seeing it this way :) in terms of disservice, you'll very soon see what kind of "disservice" TBS is doing.
you have two types of situations. one where "hobby" is unregulated, as in the USA. this won't last long, too many "RTF" kits around. the other situation is unenforceable laws that lock down hobby use. I believe that sUAS hobbyist use will receive some sensible regulations in the near future in the USA. the lawsuit is about commercial use, though. In short, the provisions in place for hobby use is good and will get better in the USA, commercial use is a desaster and can only get better.
WOW WOW !! Fantastic video guys ! How on earth do you get signal INSIDE the building. I am pretty sure my video signal would drop out (I am on 5.8ghz) Anyway, brilliant... gonna go listen to the podcast now :) yay !
Next project should be to make a remotely-operated winch with a GoPro and some lights on the end with a long bar to attach it to. Then use two multirotors to carry the winch assembly up and set it onto the chimney. Lower the GoPro and see what's down there. Maybe you'll find the body.
I think the negative sentiment is not against flying things per se,it's against big government introducing yet a new way to beat down on the average joe. the fact that hobbyists are using them is actually being applauded because it gives the public a sense of empowerment. Except people like Steve want us to stop that, go hide on a field somewhere, and let the big boys do the "negative PR" work so they can get the technology banned and make waivers for themselves.
Hello guys how we doing today I'm new to FPV and Quad flying and I was wondering what's the best flight control out their best bang for the buck I noticed Josh used flight control where it had return to home I was wondering what kind does he have and maybe you could do a show on all the different fight controls for quads
Hi I'm a recent subscriber to your channel and I'm wondering if you have an info page of the equipment you use? Mainly those camera visors that let you see IRT what your planes see. Thanks, great videos!
Awesome guys, good to see the pros have some accidents and laugh about it. If you want to see some stuff actually down in a Corn Maze ? Check out FPV Proximity flying at Meadows Maze.
Awesome to see how far we’ve come in just a few years! Can’t wait for the future
lol josh in the beginning
I'd say they have a very positive effect on the hobby. so positive that you feel the need to try and balance it out :)
LMAO Nice dance in the begining Josh
The abandoned building was really cool to see, its stuff like this that makes me so excited to get my own tricopter in the air for the first time
A bit over 10 years ago - amazing how much the tech and the hobby (and video rigs!!!) has changed.
That formation looked awesome! More formation flying guys!
I cheered out loud when Trappy cleared the warehouse window. Good fun!
this is still fun to watch 4 years later :)
Josh breaking out his moves while secretly being filmed was great! thumbs up on that :)
Awesome flying. The intro and extra ending are the best! Chad - why do you beat up on that hexacopter so much! You are always breaking that!
Im loving the pre and after bits more and more!
I lost it at that last scene of chad running. Seemed just like a bad movie!
Great to see you guys having fun flying fpv, makes me even more eager to get my own setup!
Really enjoy you guys.Too much fun.
That building would be a great FPV racing track. Down the length of the trench, hook around the building, climb over the chimney. Awesome..
Trappy is an excellent pilot, I just wish he'd respect FPV a little more. David however is an excellent pilot also, just a little bit crazier and brazen me thinks... Major Bixler...gotta love the guy for his candor and realness :) Keep the Flitetest videos coming, much love!
do a little dance...fly FPV....get down tonight! get down tonight!
Lol
Awesome video - and good luck with the case Trappy.
Really cool Video. I cant thank Flite Test enough for your entertainment and educational information you provide. I'll be honest, I like the "entertainment" value most. Trappy and TBS may be controversial, but they sure put on a great show. Thanks again all of you.
"however few of those you've referred to are coupled with such a pre-existing negative stigma like UAVs have" - Steve ten Have. direct quote.
That was awesome! I live really close to maize valley and we go there every year. The view was very very cool!
you guys are awesome, this ispires me to pick this up as my hobby.
i've been flying the DJI phantom, but i'm looking to get alot better and get some sort of this equipment.
Very slick, especially the dance moves at the beginning!
What video frequency did you guys fly on? Looks like 5.8ghz. I though 5.8ghz doesnt penetrate well. You're flying between brick and metal with no problems?
Only problem flying with Trappy, is you've got to bail him out of jail first! lol
It's the TBS Discovery Pro, comes with a 2 axis brushless gimbal integrated into the frame.
damn, fpv really came a long way... love it
please have longer vids!!! i cant get enough and its frustrating... guess ill work on my tricopter with a loose tail motor mount... :/
6:31 I think that was the most calm crash I have seen yet.
The tbs discovery is the frame I would love to build or the hoverthings flip.
I think he is right there is, it takes the community standing up and saying that we don't want to hurt anyone, and showing those outside of it that we mean no harm.

You guys are the best youtube channe in the world! Stay awesome!!!
Haha, you were right about the Dominator part but the other guys were just using the v1 because it wasn't released that time the video was shot

in terms of disservice, you'll very soon see what kind of "disservice" TBS is doing.
At the abandoned building, how do you manage to keep a video connection with all those walls?
The Swede is my FAVORITE!!!! He's the reason I got into this hobby. Josh Bixler is the reason I've built several scratch planes. I LOVE THESE GUYS!!
you have two types of situations. one where "hobby" is unregulated, as in the USA. this won't last long, too many "RTF" kits around. the other situation is unenforceable laws that lock down hobby use.

In short, the provisions in place for hobby use is good and will get better in the USA, commercial use is a desaster and can only get better.
thanks guys as usual AWESOME!
Wow you guys got to do more fpv vids like that, and I love the beginner series too! Ya might in the future want to do a fpv for beginners to!
Get the TbS Pro if you like the integrated design and if you are willing to spend the money
Great vie, loved it, start was fantastic, don't give up your day job Josh!
Trappy masters this! So clean video and flying...
love the beginning
That dance was great.
there is no gray area for hobbyists, only for private commercial sUAS use in the USA. you should read into the lawsuit before commenting on it.
Looks alot of fun fellas
I like quads, but nothing beats the kind of flying I like to do!
Awesome flying chaps
"and here we see the bixler in its natural habitat performing its elusive FPV dance."
Best channel on UA-cam. Keep it up!
Great video, looks like you had a lot of fun. I wish I had someone to fly with :o(
what goggles do you use? and how much fly time can you get with 2 batteries? Thanks :)
Awesome flights!
so is that the "hurry up charger" Bixler dance?
I love my TBS Discovery Pro!
It must be the first time in a long while that Trappy has ever been filmed doing something legal... :P
anybody else notice the broken glass pane at 5:49 that looks like New Jersey?
also, i know this is an old episode.. but it's still good..
Holy shit, me and josh have the same witch cackle laugh. I love it! Hahaha
Josh's dances are legendary! Hahahaha
Some very cool flying
WOW WOW !! Fantastic video guys !
How on earth do you get signal INSIDE the building. I am pretty sure my video signal would drop out (I am on 5.8ghz)
Anyway, brilliant... gonna go listen to the podcast now :) yay !

Great video, good music too!
Awesome video guys!
Dem moves at the beginning!
TBS DISCOVERY PRO - it's our own design
OMG Josh's laugh in the beginning!

Dat beginning LoL
The leaves are only starting to change there? I live in Michigan and the leaves are almost all gone.
Hi there...could you please help to wire correctly my 5.8 ghz video transmitter ts-832 with eachine 600mw?
you also need to have insurance as a hobbyist.
Loved the return, a dwarf of tiny flying machines. Beutiful!
Guys! Epic FPV obstacle course!!
Hello guys how we doing today I'm new to FPV and Quad flying and I was wondering what's the best flight control out their best bang for the buck I noticed Josh used flight control where it had return to home I was wondering what kind does he have and maybe you could do a show on all the different fight controls for quads
Did you guys have any interference with the wifi
Trappy!! Givin' up props to...er....thumbs up to the great BS....wait....TBS that is! Very glad to see you all sync up on the best forum. Fun times!
Can you tell me what flight controller models are you using and what firmware too? Y saw Josh had return to home working flawlessly!
at the end! thats trappy's discovery pro quality video!!
Hey all, what is the name of the gopro mount at 5:25 that remains flat no matter what angle it's at? Thanks!
How do you guys through and around buildings with the 5.8ghz video, I thought that didn't like going through objects.
Hey I was wondering, I have seen Chad with the aurora, is he flying just like it or with a LRS? Which update is he in? Thx a lot Flite test!
are you guys using 5.8ghz throughout this video, even at the abandoned building? And do you guys usually always fly 5.8?
Where is this abandoned building? I could not find it on goole maps. Looks sweet!
Hey trappy, you tried the whitesheep frame yet? I hear it's pretty good!
I still want to see someone go down the smoke stack with their multirotor!
This is the kind of FLITETEST I miss....... Lets flys ..... Challenges...... Just y'all having fun like this
KNEESE_RC I miss it too😞
I want to fly down that stack so bad, I'm surprised no one has done it.
The ending is almost as good as the intro... almost. :)
Brilliant intro Josh
Nice Phil Collins moment at the beginning!
Love the dance. Is it the flitetest jam?
Hi I'm a recent subscriber to your channel and I'm wondering if you have an info page of the equipment you use? Mainly those camera visors that let you see IRT what your planes see. Thanks, great videos!

best opening ever
I'm pretty sure allot of what team black sheep does is illegal but its freekin awesome
That intro thoe! HAHAHA
some of the runs along the canyons were only missing star wars music :) use the force Josh lol
Thank you. I have no idea why people defend their practices, flying or business.
5:41 - great job guys - flight from outside trough a building :) greaaaat
