First off im a huge fan (been watching 2013). ok so I told my school about you guys, then the bought a bunch of easy gliders for us to build then they called you AND we are going on a field trip to flite test on the 12th or 13th! see yall then and cant wait for flite fest again
I wonder. For the bomb make like a air pocket in the front, so that when it hits the ground gravity will force the air backwards thought a narrow opening( like a ball nozzle) and blow the powder out the back. So basically a Large pipet. Amazing plane and video!
Back in the 70's, I designed and built a nine-ft R/C with a bomb bay big enough to hold and drop 2 ltr plastic bottles of water. When they hit, the water would virtually disappear, leaving scraps of extremely stretched plastic behind. This was done in the desert; anyplace else would be too hazardous.
Our local Commemorative Air Force wing has an annual open house, where they drop pumpkins out of their B-25. You could easily drop a small pumpkin out of your B-17. 😊
you should put in two live feed cameras, one for the pilot and one for the bombardier, and also put in two led panels for the front windows to make them look like eyes
You should Revisit the guided bomb video, make a giant bomb that a friend can control, design it to fit In the XL. Version maybe do a contest with the whole flite crew to see who can get closer to the target?
Maybe look at a pull rope system on a linear actuator to close the doors after the drop. Also, put a carton or something inside the bay and gradually fill with sand to find both the flight load limit and the doors load limit.
Take a small balloon fill it up to breaking point. Ad a pin, to the inside front of the bomb. Cover the pin with foam. Not to much you want the pin to puncture the balloon at impact. Then you put your baking soda, baby powder, flour or what ever you wish In a tube, toilet roll between the balloon and the flap. Impact, pop goes the balloon and all that air needs somewhere to go, the flap being the only way.
Just got a turbo timber evolution. First big plane I have ever had. Actually it gets here on Friday. Wondering if you could build one of those opening doors on it? I also have a slow ultra stick and it would be really cool to put some mods on it.
Add this: FPV camera facing straight down, second person acts as "Bombadiere" see how fancy you can get by knowing altitude and airspeed 'calculate' when to drop
Make the bomb in two pieces that telescope one inside the other. One it would make it easy to load, and two when the bomb hits the ground it would compress length ways and spray out the contents.
Id still like to see you drop an rc helicopter from a plane simmiller to what you did with the Guinea pig and the Punjet and im sure an XL tubby would do it to
maybe 3d print a bomb nosecone that would spray glue to a balloon filled with a mix of powder and air. Design a sharp protrusion on the edge so when it hits the ground inertia will cause the balloon burst.
On the Rustoleum 2X if it doesn't dry quick enough just clear over it with 2X and it will make it dry fast. For the bomb just make the flap wider opening. Maybe make the bomb itself with thinner sidewalls. How about real thin sidewall with a big spring inside that will let the Bomb collapse. Maybe flexible dryer vent pipe with your nose and tail you have.
Congratulations with your second honeymoon! Enjoy to the utmost, because the next phase is “grandparents” and you be looking after babies 😂 enjoy! Blessings.
@FliteTest i still think you should do Air to air combat with airsoft! maybe you could have a fleet of B-17s and some fighters or just a dogfight between a BF-109 or FW-190 and a P-51 or Spitfire!
Worthy of a Quarter teaspoon of 1F & a 209 shotgun primer, common nail & chambered in a carboard tube . Big boom , plently White smoke . Rotten egg smell a plus . ( Your results may vary. )
Thank you, brother. Time has gone so fast and we consider ourselves truly blessed to have some amazing daughter-in-law’s. It’s also wonderful to get to pursue and date my wife all over again. What a great new chapter!
You may want to model your bomb after the fat man atomic bomb, by the way the bomb was landing ( looked to be sideways) you need more stabilization from the rear fins. Also you may want to make the rear hatch part of the bomb more like a rocket nozzle, to increase the air flow when the bulbous end of the bomb hits, to drive out any powered that was loaded. How do we get a design file to you so you can print it out? Do you want a STL file or a native Fusion 360 file?.

You need to add the whistle sound from nerf howler to the tubby bomb be cool for a added sound effect
That’s an awesome idea!
Surely you could design a whistle into the bomb print. A short travel plunger could be implemented to get the “poof” of powder on impact.

Cleetus loves planes! Just sayin
Great to see FT still around and pushing the hobby!
Pretty cool to see your designs come to life. Pretty innovative.
Make a good candy dropper for a halloween party
You guys are having just too much fun🤩

Jealous of those paint jobs.
As smooth as cake icing.
Great job guys- can you do another paint along video?
4:13 i don't think that was the clip he was talking about...There is one that legit makes a poo when it falls and it is super funny 😂

Love that idea!!! Maybe on the xl version. ;)
Or a mini b17 that flies out of the xl bay
Most funny and cool plane I’ve ever seen
Stepahn is the best plaen thrower out there! ;-) Nice plane you have there!
now I
really want one of these
You could use a soft bubble nose to push air thru it with something like a big primer bubble on small gas engines. Weedeater, lawnmower etc.
Soften paint balls drop em.
Lets see a 40 ft version
I'm bringing my FT Tubby B17 to Edgewater Saturday !
Can’t wait to fly with you!
Drop water balloons again but fill up the bomb bay. Test the max weight that this plan can carry.
Maybe look at a pull rope system on a linear actuator to close the doors after the drop. Also, put a carton or something inside the bay and gradually fill with sand to find both the flight load limit and the doors load limit.
I thought for sure we'd see Coach Bombay show up.
Very well made cartoon planes.
a puppy in a tubby!!!! cutie overload!!!!!!
If the bomb was made of thinner or softer material, it would help push the powder out more when it hits the ground and compresses more.
Now add support tubby fighters P47s P51 or an A36
6:00 me too!
Can’t wait to get one
Drop little parachute Army guys.
Absolutely fantastic!

You know its a good day when flite test uploads!
That means the world to us!!!
An upside down pez dispenser? Push out a stack of quad drones?
Smoke? Glitter? little igniting smoke bombs?
@@JorgeLausell I think they where going for the atom bomb effect lol
Make the bomb in two pieces that telescope one inside the other. One it would make it easy to load, and two when the bomb hits the ground it would compress length ways and spray out the contents.
A fun little plane to play with.
Baseballs or softballs for the XL drop. Although you MIGHT be able to get one softball in the current small bomber.
Id still like to see you drop an rc helicopter from a plane simmiller to what you did with the Guinea pig and the Punjet and im sure an XL tubby would do it to
Also... congrats on hitting 2.15mil!!❤🎉🎉 I know it was a while ago already but I keep forgetting to say so
nurf rocket gatling gun?
self igniting rockets? Nets? a bunch of gliders?
Love those 'planes.
Thanks!!!
Lancer Tactical Airsoft M433 HEDP 40mm Dummy Grenades (Pack of 3)

add a slotted door on the side of the bomb wall , it will flap open on impact

Loving every minute of this new chapter. Thank you so much. :)

"You got chickens"
I genuinely thought they were going to drop a live chicken.
Flying replicas of existing planes is one thing but turning them into odd looking toys is just strange. Maybe for Romper Room?
There are something interesting at 4:24. (behind the back)
You made the B-17 dropping the PE-8 5k bomb
It’s almost Halloween. Drop some dead stuff. Candy. Bones. Little skeletons. Etc🖤
*Correction... "Little Plane DECOY bombs - FT Tubby B-17 - Will it drop" See what I did there, no clickbait, everyone's happy.😄😄😄
I imagine if they built some homemade powder bomb
I can't believe you didn't drop the Dave bombs. On paper tanks....or foam tanks..
Drop the boom bombs bro.
Hatchery. Nice
ow we thought about it 😁 maybe a future episode
Wow I've been watching your channel too long. Both boys married! Congrats and enjoy the next chapters.
Thank you, brother. Time has gone so fast and we consider ourselves truly blessed to have some amazing daughter-in-law’s. It’s also wonderful to get to pursue and date my wife all over again. What a great new chapter!
Love it guy's, I would never miss a new video!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Operation Dumbo Drop, but in this case Dumbo is an elephant-shaped quadcopter
Looks like a 5 engine A-1
Get the foam darts and put a golf ball in the nose of each dart or print up ten 500lb small bombs that should be fun
Drop a melon or pumpkin!
EGGS !!!!!
Nice video ❤
There you are!
Two and a half words: Spring-loaded piston.
G.I. Joe with parachute.
the water balloons were cool, brussle spourts are biodegradable. bags of cornstarch hopfull will have " Poof "effect
Great idea!
maybe some small gliders
Try fire place ashes for smoke in the bomb
That would make a cool smoke effect!!!
Could you post the size of the bomb bay? So we can model a design for a bomb?
Design/provide a 3D printed bomb bay container.
Nice👍
I sooooo want to work for your company!
built a water tank for fire fighting
Drop swedish surströmming. ;-)
Build tutorial please
You should have done the Fallout 4 mini nuke for the bomb.
I hope next build will be under 250g and free plans
paratroopers (drop i mean)
Vcs vendem a planta? Não fariam free uma vez kkkk. Abraços do Brasil!!!
FliteTest needs a DoD contract. Cheap Foam Bombers... Elon Musk will approve as the Government Efficiency Commissioner

same design with ducted fans?
What TX is Josh using?
Could the xl size drop the punjet? :-)
Drop paintballs
You should used pop up bombs ya ,& more over its LW-PLA is not stable for air turbulence
Gluten / wheat intolerances confuse me...yet maybe not; the wheat we eat today is not the same wheat of our Grandfathers
First!!!!! lol Nice video guys!!!! Keep them coming!!!
Gender reveal bomb? Blue or Pink powder?
YES!!! Anyone need a baby reveal?
Pls send me an kit of anyplane
Don't support drone companies with military contracts! Flight test is one. Plus, their customer support is garbage...
