In this adventure John Overstreet comes to visit with a partially built C-130 Hercules cargo plane. Made out of foamboard, carbon fiber tubes, aluminum tubes, plywood, and a ton of zip ties we aren't sure if this humungous remote-controlled airplane will fly! This is the first time we use four Monster Motors on a plane and lots of things could go wrong... including if we crash, it could do some serious damage.

Make a model of v 22 osprey plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
@@vatsal9005 going to second this one.
Has anyone ever made and flown a supersonic RC?
Try doing a barrel roll with it
Recommend Dropping CDS Bundles or a Heavy Equipment Platform with the required extraction parachute.
You guys need to put a hundred mini parachute army men in the back and simulate a paratrooper drop.
Mateo Zorro wow good idea 💡. Hell great idea. Lol it would look cool.
Yes... that would be friggin awesome... add a small supply crate with parachutes... and get that thing finished with paint and airbrushed and looking realistic... it's too awesome to just leave looking plain
I approve that
My first thought too. Would make my inner child very happy
Awesome idea. Maybe you could use a conveyor belt assembly or lead screw to meters them out.
The dude flying the drone has some serious skills.
2nd this - to fly so close at those ranges .....Kudos to the whole team
Very serious
@@kookiebub He's flying FPV. Not to say they aren't good but it's not like they tried to do that watching it from 400' away.
He should work for the military, he has super skill.
Andrew Brothers so you’re saying you can you that?
19:36 ABSOLUTELY buttered the bread with that landing!!!! Probably the best RC landing I’ve ever seen seen
It’d be really cool to see an AC-130 gunship with paintball/Airsoft guns and some other goodies with motors to turn and pull the triggers.
😯yes broo
These airsoft players attached a gun to their quad. Super cool.
ua-cam.com/video/NS1KFmFw2Dw/v-deo.html&t
Yeah that would be sick
Winner!!!!......... Then my idea.
paintball as the 105 and then airsoft as the smaller guns.
That thing needs to drop an RC tank with 3 parachutes out the back that then drives off. Make it so.
I approve that
It would be cool, to have the tank fire main gun at plane on way out... Think James bond escaping from bad guys, simulation of course. Looks cool and James bond theme, music.... Etc. :)
What saddens me is the aviation industry NEEDS people that are in the RC world and many times snobby, often flippant professional aerospace engineers dismiss this as "well it's just a hobby" really? With guys like this making awesome planes and tanks that fly, perhaps engineers could take cues and we could possibly see a "flying tank" or the incredible Robotech(TM) aircraft which can transform into fighting machines. Keep up the awesome work guys!!
@@bitofun2 or like in the A-Team movie?
@@JoshWeaverRC I was in millitary aviation and I worked with Boeing and other groups for many years on the C-17A Globemaster III and it is NO assumption. I have told several engineers that I happened to enjoy RC flying and some just dismiss it as toys. I did not say NASA anywhere in my statement and I said it out of experience with civilian and military contactors. So with respect, don't assume everyone who says these things are a troll or discrediting every engineer or technician, but some of us have had to live with so called "experts" calling our hobby toys or silly.
As somebody that works on actual 130s, this was really cool to see. You guys made it look pretty accurate, and it flew really well. Kudos.
hold up
All I could think was “ENEMY AC130 ABOVE!”
Nice lies
@@ivanabraham8145 yes I forget that you know me as a real person, and therefore automatically know somehow that I couldn’t possibly work on this aircraft. I mean that’s just impossible for me to be one of the tens of thousands that currently maintain these aircraft. Right?
My dad used to work on these too. Now he’s on Blackhawks.
just wait until they put a tiny verison of a thermo nuke in it and paint it into thomas the thermonuclear bomber
..and call it "Little Fetus" ;-)
they should get an actual small bomb and drop it on something lmao
This is a cool project just because it shows what's possible. I was laughing when JB said "don't expect a kit".
> "Dont ever ask for this to be kitted."
Wrong. I am asking. Make it so.
Maybe not as big as this one, but a manageable sized version of it??!! PLZ?!!!!!!
I'd say kit it with 4 C Pack motors. Scale it down a bit, same removable wings. Id buy it.
Erik Lindbergs right
Man, I am soooo looking forward to the kit. When is it coming out?
i'd be happy if they just sold the plans for it..
Imagine converting this C-130 to an AC-130 that can do ground strikes with airsoft guns, would look awesome!
Airsoft? Why not .223 hehehe
@@thejonathan130 hehe now that Ithink about it why not just fit a XM556 Microgun (mini minigun chambered in 5.56)
@@thanatphatto3301 now you're talking
Yeeesssss
hell yes!
Whether it’s a business decision or personal decisions, I appreciate the fact that there is never any foul mouth or terrible behavior from any of you in your vids. Way to be in this day and age.
That landing was amazing, I repeated it several times. :) 19:35
Butter
Does anyone else agree that it's satisfying to watch the plane land so gracefully or is that just me?
Totally buttered that landing!
The landing is the final exam on all flying lessons
5 star landing
Butter...
you mean crash gracefully there is no landing only controlled crashes as pilots call landings.
Would be awesome to launch out 50 army figures with parachutes. That would be a sight to see along with a tank or humvee!
64 to make it just like Airborne does.
@@fprintf There's room in there for 64 troopers AND an M1Abrams?
LarryH54 the m1a1 Abrams is not capable of airborne insertion. The last tank to be dropped from an aircraft was the Sheridan. Also for safety reasons, all vehicles are dropped from separate aircraft after the first wave of paratroopers have landed and secured the drop zone. It wouldn’t be a very fun if you land and perform a perfect plf only to have a hmmwv land on you. But in micro scale with toys it could be cool to see.
54 GI Joes..
64 fully equipped paratroopers is SOP for that aircraft.
"Hopefully it flies."
Everytime I flew on a C130 with a cracked wingbox.
if you're happy and you know it, clap your wings
I built John's Corsier 3 years back, whenever it first came out, and it still is one of my favorites.
It just flies so very well, light, fast, and extremely maneuverable. I have already put it through three seasons, and the fact that it still flies is a testament to John's talent.
In the military the C130J is primarily used for jumping paratrooper. It would be so cool see little dudes coming out the back!!!
Static line GI Joes!
Please make it into an A/C-130U Spooky with the same Airsoft tracers you used for the awesome A-10C vid you made!!!
I was thinking this too!!
@@koryyoung7609 Me too.
yes..do that
As an Ex-AC-130H gunner, I wholeheartedly support this suggestion!
C130 gunship with fpv gunners.
Thank you guys for keeping these videos clean and wholesome. Your team is still adventurous and creative but with quality as the backbone. Doing the right thing is not an old school way of thinking but is time less. Thank you for not compromising. The moral value your giving to your viewers and this hobby are really inspirational.
Timeless and time honored.
I spent 4 years in the Army jumping out of C-130's and C-141's. This just got me all amped up. Would love to see you figure out little paratroopers off the tailgate!
Sooooooo.....
When's the speed build kit coming?
Never thought a speed build kit could break $1000 til now 😆
Kit! Kit! Kit!
@@ianm832 Actually, I could see a speed build kit, more in the master size, not a ridiculous size. :)
Totally an amazing plane... Next to make one with JATO :D
@Black Metal Dash The four monster motors would cost that much.
Or like some cargo drop.
Third order shipped from FliteTest today! I am so loving building their kits! The hobby keeps me happy/relaxed when dealing with my anxiety. Thanks guys for being so awesome!
That makes are hearts so happy! Thank you for not only your support but also using this great hobby for something positive. Wish you the best!
JB
If only my medical plan covered this as a therapeutic tool for anxiety....
@@FliteTest * our not are
13 years of being an aircrew member on 130’s this was fantastic.
The first time I flew on a 130 was to Elmendorf AFB to get my flight physical back in 1973... I blew chunks all over the inside.
A true work of art! The word "congratulations" is all I have; but I feel it's a bit of an understatement.
I jumped out of the jerky bird too many times in the Army. I would love to see a scale 64 troop drop on an LZ! That would be awesome.
Never heard it called Jerky bird. Where were you at?
Dont forget to bring a RC Hummer H-1 with the paras 😂😂😂😂
Long time ago I saw a magazine photo set of a flying box car that dropped troopers and landed a jeep . . Bravo !
Yes! This is what they should do!
Agreed, if you are going to do a C130 I wanna see some airborne operations
Josh, that was the PERFECT landing. Just lightly kissed the strip and wings barely flexed. Nice job guys.👏👏👏😁
You guys make your flights and landings look so easy...very impressive!! Great build too!!!
Wishing I'd seen this a year ago. Mostly because I would have loved to see it painted & dropping a (whole bunch) of parachuters like a big military operation with equipment & personnel. If you still have the plane I'd even have an idea to make such an event worth doing, but that's another conversation.
So very glad to see this aeroplane, it really made my day, thank you for taking the time to make this video.
So, I see everyone getting upset about the amount of ad’s in these videos. I have a few things I’d like to say.
1. Yes this is not the original FliteTest with Josh and Josh. And thank god. That stuff worked. And it was good. But these crazy ideas is what has made this a more palatable channel and one that can attract more viewers. These guys need to make a living too. And if it means me fast forwarding through 2 minutes of a dollar shave club ad to get some decent content. So be it.
2. As I mentioned previously, it’s not the original Josh and Josh. However. FliteTest is not the only thing that has changed. It’s getting harder and harder for UA-cam content creators to make the money they used to. UA-cam has changed also. They have to change for it all to work. If what your all saying is you want FliteTest without the ads, the only response I have is, it isn’t possible. I create content here on UA-cam. We make zero money on it. 10 years ago it would’ve been possible. But with more content comes a more difficult ability to make money straight from the content. Entertainment is a commodity and is no different than oil or beef. If you think everything that goes into this can just be done in an afternoon on a Saturday you’re sadly mistaken, the production quality and capital that go into this channel are second to none. But that requires sponsorship, and again; suffer through the 2 minute plug? Is it that big of a deal? Most of us watch NFL on Sunday’s and we all sit through ads to watch it. If the content is good we will always come back. I would love for anyone to try and debate with me the fact that doing this without sponsorship is impossible, I work in marketing. And these guys do a great job at keeping the ads to a minimum for us.
3. This one is to the guys at FliteTest, and I hope they see this. You guys do a great job. I can hardly open a model aviation magazine anymore without seeing something from you guys in it. And that’s awesome. You’ve kept this hobby alive and you now carry the torch. It’s a hefty responsibility. You are the 21st century RCM magazine. You have ideas, innovation, and content that keep people interested. Thank you so much for doing this for the hobby that’s been in so many people’s families for many years. As long as the content is good (which it is.) we’ll keep coming back for years and years to come.
4. In closing. Josh Bixler used to come and fly back at our field, when he lived in our neighborhood. He was a great guy, very personable and cared about the experience we all shared. He’s a good dude. He’s keeping the hobby going. Watch the Dollar Shave Club ad. It will be over soon, and watch these guys create something amazing.
No,I don't watch football game commercials. I will change the channel to a movie or anything that isn't a commercial. Awesome flight of the Hercules. Thanks for sharing.
BRAVO!!!! Excellent mini lecture on the economics of quality UA-cam Productions, which FliteTest is a superb example of. There are obviously a lot of people we never see involved in each and every episode. These guys exude passion and commitment in everything they do, but that don't feed their kids. If they went to a Patreon Format I'd throw them $5.00 a month gladly, they went to ads so I can enjoy their content free. So quit yer bitchin!
Dana Skubic while the football game is on watch it while the dollar shave club is running, once there’s a commercial break during the Kansas City game, switch back to FT
See that air plane? Yes! It flew right over my head. Exactly.
UA-cam for UA-cam sake and nothing else. You want to earn money get someone to pay you which means advertising or get a job. nuff said
J & L fast forward 10 seconds then use left and right to fast forward 5 seconds to find the end
When I heard you guys say that the chase drones batteries were running low, I was seriously hoping that you were going to fly it into the cargo hatch and park it in the C-130.
There you go, try to land a drone inside of the C-130 while it is in flight.
I agree
Agreed
yes this needs to happen. you can launch out of it as well.
This was on my birthday... Thank you for giving me a great time on my birthday cuz i got a ac-130 plane model set on my bday
The flight was AMAZING! Perfect landing. PERFECT
It’s so awesome seeing someone recreate one of the best cargo planes ever made.
goes to show you when the engineers get it right, they get it right! Same basic design going strong for what, 40 years?
@@muskokamike127 more then that, it entered service 1954. thats 66 years as of 2020
there is the c-5 galaxy though, a c-130 could fit inside a c-5
This really makes me want to get into the rc plane hobby...
same!
Yeah but it costs like 40$ for a small plane
@@normalhuman78-53 Compare that to a FPV quad.
Be Careful now cowboy. Thems there are divorcing words
Its a great hobby
Imagine taking this to a airsoft field and screaming “ENEMY AC-130 ABOVE
imagination: over the airsoft field"airsoft player hey someone cover me i need to get to the hostage house "they be like ok" airsoft player ok wheres ur gun"umm its up there"enemy players ENEMY AC-130 ABOVE
I would be running if i heard that
I would love that. It would be great if the teams could fight over a moving command center that allows the holding team to call in strikes.
ya they should put some remote controlled airsoft guns in it
correction, C-130 hercules, used in the vietnam war as a areial support craft, and now we use it for cargo
My Son was a crew chief on a CH-47G when he was in the Army. CH-47 may be a great Project. I was in the 82nd Abn and have jumped out of a C-130 many times. Loved this Vid. thank you
Make a conveyor system to drop sequential parachuters out the back. Make one line line of them in the sky.
Wow, it's beautiful! You should do actual supply drops with it. Humvee's, artillery, pallets of food/supplies/ammo, LAVS, all with chutes and flares. Love the vid, can't wait to see what you guys do with it!
Pizza delivery.
@@89gertie oh yeah. with breadsticks.
I like it when brilliant minds decide on a hobby. So amazing! Keep up the good projects!
I’ve stumbled into watching these videos a few weeks ago and now I’m hooked ! Never really been in to RC other than having the odd thing as a kid. Got to say it’s fascinating to see what you guys do and your flying skills are unreal. I’ve subscribed so going to be trawling through your content for a while which I’m looking forward too 🤟🏻
Finish it. My father retired from the Blue's in 1974. I would like to see that paint scheme, on your bird.Thanks, PEACE
Did he just say, "fly something out the back of it"? 😁
I JUST said do some navy seal parachutists........or do low level drops......you know, when the plane is a foot above the ground the they have a tank with a parachute on it to drag it out the back and leave it on the ground?
I wanna see them launch the chase drone mid flight 😅
yee i bet a little bird could fit inside a c-130.

@@kerrykroger7323 you the MAN! thanks bud!!
TO land like that without flaps...WOW You nailed it. You had some physics on your side for sure.
I get excited every time I see a C-130 running down the strip.
You should do flares out of the back! You can create that "angel wing flare" pattern and it would look AMAZING!!
I reckon drop a swarm of like 20 inductrix’s out the back and then have them all fly back, that would look so damn cool!
YESS!!!
I was fixing to post the same thing
I think it would be cool if you guys had it done up in the Coulson Aviation water bomber livery as a tribute to the American C130 pilots who died in the Australian bushfires after the plane crashed.
Yes they should
I Second that!
yes do it
The skills of the guy with the drone are just mind blowing!
I'm a pastor who had two members, one a pilot and another a loadmaster, who flew the full-sized C-130. Great Job FT!!
I'd love to see you guys build a giant foam spruce goose
Their is video of some people making and flying one on UA-cam.
The original Spruce Goose didn't actually fly above ground effect hight, I know you guys can make it fly!
Wow! Watching that thing fly is amazing. It makes the quad look so small in formation. Congrats to all for an awesome build and flight. John, you are a true foam board master.
Had to come back and watch this one again. Just AWESOME...!!!
I love the following drone video, you truly get to see how the aircraft is behaving in the air. This is a wonderful video topped by the perfect landing.
Stick a fire extinguisher in the back with the nozzle sticking out a little, then use servos to squeeze the lever, you now have a C-130 Fire Attack plane 👌
fire it on takeoff and you essentially have JATO/ STO 🤣
For those serious recovery missions

You really measured it
The video was great. Was marveling at the skills of the drone operator. He was able to get shots and at great angles. Highly impressed by the plane too.
Using a transmitter without a neck strap is crazy to me. When I have to hold one just with my hands my flying precision drops for sure.
Awesome video and build!
How bout Flite Test version of "M.O.A.B." coming out of the back. But what about a large scale ducted fan A12/SR71 :-P
I'm all for a foam Blackbird, but it has to be large scale. At least 10 feet (3 meters) long.
@@zxbigmikexz That's what I'm talking about; the C130's wing span is longer than its body, but the A12's body is longer than its wing span. So "in scale" the A12 would be 15' long. Epic ;-P
The Hurc is one of favs. So happy this got made.
And that landing!
This just keeps better and better. Sure wish my Dad and his brother were still around to also enjoy it.
These guys have the BEST Job in the world.
Add 3 BB guns and that'll make it an AC-130.
then you can blast "ENEMY AC-130 ABOVE!" in the Russian guy's voice
edit: 50 likes in 50 minutes wow
edit 2: maybe make it an AC-130 Whiskey [only 1 gun but 10 back rockets] to save money
edit 3: damn, blowing up quickly! Oh, and when I said BB guns, I meant airsoft but as alphagt62 suggested, paintball guns would look better because it wouldn't have to go through, just make colour to show it hit
Yes they need to do that
PlantZombiekiller3 that would be a great idea for them to do I agree with ya
Airsoft. AC-130 Spectre. That would be very, very cool!
100% yes
Maybe nerf guns, or air soft.... haha. would make a great compliment to the A10

DRONE MISSION!! 3 minutes to drop some quads out the back, they then have to reach a target point and do a small task, and return to the c 130!
we need this now its like that idea that the miltry had to make a flying aircraft caryer
AWESOME build and maiden vid --- well done guys :)
Amazing well done. Love it. That's so good that you should consider skinning it with carbon fiber (or e-glass) and vacuum bagging it for additional structural rigidity and longevity.
Speaking of Hercules - someone should do a model of Howard Hughes' "Spruce Goose" Hercules, and see how well it flies...
This is great. I've been waiting for something like this. My Dad flew 130s for years and it's been my favorite plane for a long time. Thanks y'all.
that maker space is just awesome. such a cook vibe it has
Awesome. I'm pretty disappointed that this was never finished or there wasn't another video of it after it was finished though. Amazing build.
You guys are starting to need an actual size hangar, dig an underground hangar to store all the massive planes..... and have an elevator just for the planes like on aircraft carriers
