Now I'm looking foward for RC dog fights with this system in the future.
This would be awesome
dont forget to give 'em some missile :v
Total fantasy: But what if we use remote control planes to do the dog-fight for us within the future? The year would be like, 2050 or 2060, and humans would no longer pilot planes within planes, but rather somewhere on the ground. Therefore decreasing the percentage of deaths within mid-air battles by a lot. Although there is a lot of flaws with this, it's just a cool thought that I'd like to share about. But like, with remote control planes, you wouldn't need to worry about G force or death. But you would need to worry about the distance, and how strong your connection with that plane is. Lose connection, and that plane is going to fly into the ground. You can also have your plane hijacked, but I'd hope that they'd fixed that with super powerful malware defenses.
_Tesla, but planes_ lol
Oo hell yeah!
A thousand times yes
Version 2 needs to have head tracking!!! Bring the fpv to the next level!!!
ua-cam.com/video/IKKMGC_hTIY/v-deo.html
@@BognarFPV ok after seeing that video, nothing less would do.
I tried to do that on my modified copy of their RC seat. The delay is like, playing on an asian server from America, i do think they have better equipment from me so they would succeed on making one.
@@dwaynevenzon643 what if you were streaming 360 camera and the movement was done at base, that would be as instant as a normal camera ?
And 3d!
Can you guys make an ejector seat and put it on a rc airplane? Love the content.
Yes please
We gotta like the comment so they see it. Bloody fantastic idea!! : )
Have the FPV connected to it lol
YES! E-seat!
Cant wait
You guys should have a pilot who has never flown an rc plane try it out and see how easy it is for them to fly
Yup
But idk if there’s pilots who never used and rc plane lol 😂
Luis Bracamontes Like, most of them?
@@InterplanetaryLuis I have never tried an RC plane and most of the pilots I know have not....but I have used a simulator so I think it would be a lot like that because like with a simulator, you don't get to *feel* the plane. I wonder how hard it would be to interface their setup with some of the more advanced flight sim controllers out there like the Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS (the stick can be modified to be longer which I have done) and MFG Crosswind pedals to give a heavier feel.
GreyMaulkin yea I agree I fly the 182T and I fly RC as well but most of the guys I know don’t fly them but most pilots I know are fighter pilot and soon to be me as well I can say when I get to my platform hopefully the F/A-18F I want to buy the RC version and try to see if it flys like the real thing
You need a 360 degree camera that moves in real time with your head... The future is real.
And make the chare move forward when your going faster and back when your slowing down.
:D
Head-tracking systems.
Did one on my sim-pit.
I've dreamed on ways to get g effects. And to change control force with changing air velocity over the control surfaces.
Look into "Force Feedback" which has become part of a good gaming steering wheel and see if any of that tech can solve your lack of input resistance. Get ol Peter to join in and have him figure it out.
Or look into how they link up the controls on flight simulators that people build at their homes , you can find them on you tube. One guy built an A10 cockpit.
I don't think adding force feedback to rc setup has ever been done.... do I smell a challenge coming up....
@@StigBSivertsen It's been done for 1/10 rwd drift cars but, never seen it on an aircraft. Getting the gyro/accelerometer data sent down with the telemetry to the TX would be ideal for simplicity and probably lower latency. I know that data should be available in mavlink/MWC but, then it's a matter of taking that raw data and creating an algo to interpret it for feedback. You're gonna need to be familiar with coding and pid loops and then probably a decent amount of hours of your time this is before even thinking about the physical build.
Force feedback would be awesome. Really difficult, but awesome.
The most basic and easiest way would be to have some big beefy servos linked to throttle input increasing tension on bungees attached to the yoke and rudders.
Easily do-able and better than nothing..
Very cool!
As a true homage you need to build the “FT Spruce Goose!”
I was about to suggest that! Plus plans to build at home!
Agreed..the spruce goose was an amazing aircraft that never had the chance to prove itself..these guys can do that im sure 👍😉
If Alex sees this, I want to thanks him for helping my grandma. She called the store to order my birthday present, but she was so confused. This proves the great customer service that Flite test has and what they stand for, “bringing more people into the hobby.”
YES, FT HAS THE BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! A few years ago I ordered a mighty mini ft f-22 and it came bent and creased, I was so disappointed. They then quickly sent a new one, but was bent and creased worse than the first. Just handling, not their fault. When I contacted them they were so surprised by the poor handling of the postal service that they sent me two, yes two kits and 5 gremlin posters signed by everyone at Flite Test. You will never find better customer service, as you found out, than at Flitetest!!!
Happy b day
Miami Beach RC thanks
rayb574123 correct!
12:22 FliteTest: “Last but not least. We have our throttle”
R2D2: Approves
"You're too loose Cougar!" lol That is awesome. Imagine how much cooler it would be with a much larger and more stable RC.
Damn I wish I had friends who liked this stuff too
Same
Same
I wish I was friends with these guys. If it's this much fun just watching the vids, imagine being there.
Same here. None of my buddies show any interest for RC.
I have one friend
Very well done! Bruce Simpson started something like this a while back, but I don’t think he’s finished it yet. There was another chap who built an enclosed trailer containing a hooded cockpit with a large monitor for the visuals, ventilation fans, etc... so these things are out there, but yours seems to offer the most bang for the bucks. I’m really looking forward to future episodes! On a related note, you could probably adapt a throttle/stick/rudder gaming setup by wiring the various switches to modes, rates, etc. on the transmitter board. That would give a more natural feeling in the stick too. Whatever, you done good, so hurray! :-D
Check out my homemade cockpit
4:45 Funny, the sponsor has shaving products and so far five unshaven Flite Testers :)
Haha😂
Nicht lUsTiG
Thats hilarious! Was the sponsor ad the same ad you got from youtube too? Isnt ig awsome how this is FULL of ads? Its like real tv!
@@fucksusan420 how many ads did you get I got 4
@Eddy Jin where else would you look while watching them talking? weirdo
Just add a BB gun to the plane and a trigger to the rudder to dogfight.
do you mean aileron?
That'll be too heavy.
The Air Force Should invest in remote control fighter jets and instead of a BB gun a real minygun and rockets it could save pilots lives
@@ipadaccountyore8085 UCAV
It'd have to be a huge, expensive plane to carry the weight I think
I had that privilege to see the Spruce Goose in person and go inside of it. It is so awesome and huge!
It’s real name was The Hercules.... Hughs hated the name spruce goose....
I've been suggesting them to build a large H-4 Hercules for a while now as there next "big" project. Its an iconic plane built by an icon in aviation and I just love flying boats.
Which makes us say it more. I don't think it was called the Hercules, cos another fairly large turboprop plane is called the Hercules, many were made and they are still flying. But Howard Hughes didn't like the term "Spruce Goose" since it actually wasn't spruce, anyway.
ac-130 hercules though, so which one is da real hercules
@@Justwantahover if you mean the Lockheed Martin C-130 Hercules, many are still being made (it's one of the few '50s designs/planes still flown in service, eg the U-2). But they just named it after a Roman/Greek god which happens more often (eg P-8 Poseidon). They just happen to have used the same name twice as happened with the P-38 and F-35/P-47 and A10.
@@Justwantahover The C-130 Hercules first flew 7 years after the H-4.
Woah, this is the best of RC and simulation!
That was totally amazing! I remember back in the '90's where one of the Model Airplane News guys (he wore a visor with the bill of it cut back for RC flying) reviewed a side stick transmitter. The box was strapped to your fore arm, and it had a side stick (like a fighter jet) that would fit in your hand for line of sight flying. I've never seen one since...but this one is a dream come true. Nice work!
I’ve often dreamt of the perfect simulation, including a complete 3D representation of the cockpit, with controls, buttons, headtracking, and a seat that can pitch and roll.
Nice job, i like how its all mechincal. Maybe make the carbon rod longer. Also, if you did, you could build a box around the top and add bungees to add some tension. For the pedals, you make want to make them adjustable so kids feet can reach. You could also add springs in reverse on them to act as that push you mentioned. Think of two mouse trap springs applying force in opposite directions while the bungees balance the load
Guys I've been watching you for many years now and you've always put out really neat stuff. This is next level. Very nicely done fellas!
Check out my homemade cockpit
Here's one solution to the lack of motor sound feedback: hook up another speed controller to the throttle lever, varying the RPM of a small electric motor mounted to the cockpit, so you can actually hear a nearby motor responding to all your throttle inputs.
Can't you just add sound to the FPV reception?
I've been wanting to do this SO BAD! Thank so much you for the AWESOME content you guys! Keep it up!
(...Thank (you) so much...) I'm so excited to do this I can't even read or spell right!
How dos the guy flying the drone maintain a flight path while circling the plane and also keeping the camera aimed at it as he circles? Amazing.
The Spruce Goose is Perfectly restored and maintained at the Museum in Mcminnville Oregon. They also have an SR71, along with a bunch of other great planes, and their own IMAX Theater. Very kool place for a weekend visit, hotel and airstrip within walking distance.
You should make another cockpit and plane and put airsoft guns on then so y’all can do a bracket competition.
I've wanted to see them do some air to air with ww2 warbirds and airsoft for a LONG time. RC Dogfighting would be the most fun hobby EVER.
Yessssss
Hmmm... That huge P51 with twin convergeing airsoft or pantball 'cannons' chasing the rest of the crew round the golf course.. Hell yeah!
Would be very Top Gear.. I mean Top Gun.. ish.
love u guys
I’m insanely jealous
Fpv with a 360 camera would really add to the realism! Turn your head and look around...epic!
Great video guys!
0:39 where you guys get that light hanging on the ceiling behind?
.
Yeah whats that?
.
.

Omg I was thinking of this two day’s ago but I didn’t know how to do it! Lol awesome stuff guys!
Imagine if War Thunder simulator battle setups looked like this
Lots of people do make setups like this actually
Ohh, that would be so cool
yes
THAT was crazy COOL!!! The missing ingredient! It flew so great - and nosed over on landing - like a FT Cub!! 😜😲 Too cool gentlemen. 😎😎😎
Carmine ✈🚂🚙
Add in the camera gimbal gyro technology so when you turn your head it turns your camera too. The camera could be tail-mounted to help with spatial awareness. This concept is really cool and could help the new generation of training pilots!
A Panoramic camera would be easier
@@klyesam4006 or a 360 camera where you can choose many preset points of view for fpv
Lag
This concept is really cool and could help the new generation of training pilots!
... Ok boomer
@@MrDino-hp7fy No, he's right.
I lowkey always wanted to do that
You guys are MAGIC! Instant click! LOVE this channel!! I'm laughing and cheering you through this video, FUN! Love that new board! Sounds like it'll make it easy to build and fly!
Me too! I almost feel like Stefan!!!
Why was I literally thinking about this 4 days ago!

I'm glad you guys are making your money with your sponsors and your businesses! A fine variety of businessmen.
Yes! Wow! One of your best projects ever! Now you can add more videos with other models too! Thanks guys for sharing. :)

“Everyday objects” ........ uses laser cutter
Well hes right, a laser cutter is an everyday object for them.
Well why not?
Actually, at our local makerspace the laser cutter is used just about every day.
Right so many used in daily 😂😅😹
@@NickHeinWV That would require having friends in high places. I'm an introvert in a middle of a pandemic, so it's unlikely that I'd be able to borrow a laser cutter from anyone anytime soon.
Beat me to it! This has been on my list for years
man this should go in everyone's favourite projects playlist
Awesome cockpit boys! For some feedback you could always hook up a fan in front of you and a rudder behind. Wind in your face and that chair would 360 degree pivot nicely with a rudder behind it for real feedback.
Make a large-ish fighter model. Add the insides of an airsoft gun, some powerful motors (props where the 2 back engines would be) and now you got a fighter jet experience.
Nice one, I love you guys passion for your hobby. This was really interesting to watch how you worked through the process of creating the simulator. Keep it up and we can look forward to seeing more of of this. 💯🚀👍
I've seen the spruce goose at evergreen aviation museum. Love that Top Gun u included as well
U guys missed out how exactly you linked those potentiometer with the transmitter 😒, would love to see that ✔
You just plug it🤷♂️
@@akshaykumargautam5289 is it? I didn't know that... Anyway, thanks 👍
I built something called the "fly seat" for a lab at WPAFB in the '70's. It had stick, rudder, throttle and space for the RC transmitter at the end. The seat and controls were placed on top of a pivot so an assistant could point the "pilot" toward the plane being controlled. Don Lowe was doing some if the early work on RPVs.
This would be so cool for disabled people like me that used to go model flying but can't any more due to disability issues, very nice Thanks Bob in the UK
Brilliant! Grand Turisimo came alive for me when I got a Logitech steering wheel. Way too many hours late into the night. Now I learn to actually fly? Take my money!
I have a build idea, could you please drop a bunch of toy paratroopers out of a C47 D-day style, also I love your videos so keep up the good work
When can I come!? Seriously I live in Pittsburgh when is the next event I need to try that?
Steel city....👍. I live about an hour south in Waynesburg, basically the southwest corner of PA. Nice to hear from “locals” in a way.
A nice head tracking system I think would really bring it up a level. Being able to look over your wing would be amazing. Especially with the DJI goggles and their resolution.
13:44 i feel you bro, i dont need that robot flying for me
I need one of those
12:42 i see your “king of random” hat. Respect.
The aviator is a great movie about Howard Hughes. "The Hercules!"
U guys should have a TV show it s gonna work 100%
This is insane
Unless you've seen it in person, you can't really appreciate the size and engineering that went into the "Spruce Goose"!
(I helped build the covering over it in Long Beach, beside the Queen Mary!) It's B I G...!
No way, that coincidence is crazy
Make a moving surface so it reacts to the planes movements and it will feel more like sitting in a plane
With the rest of the crew spinning or tilting it.. :D
That was awesome to watch. I only wish it was commercially available. Great job.
Put this system in one of you massive planes .I bet it’ll handle better . Love your work and ideas.
I wanted to do something like that only more complicated "reliable" for helicopters.
The image of Howard Hughes flying a radio controlled model of the Spruce Goose suffers from the well known Mandela Effect. The picture actually shows the engineer Ernest Stout radio-controlling a model seaplane way back.
How is this comment just completely ignored? Hahaha
"Okay, so, if you guys didn't catch that..."
No... no, we got it.
You need to do that but with the fighter jet and do another plain against tank with air soft that would be amayzing
hey flitetest you should do more of this because its awesome that you make things come to life
You guys should have used a PewDiePie chair
Maybe you can control an RC plane, BUT CAN YOU DO THIS
cuz floor gang
Peter strip il did it already
Stripol* just search pewdiepie chairplane
Man I wish I could do that
I am part of an EAA chapter that is making one of these but instead to be a vr based motion flight sim.
Literally a brilliant idea!! the laughter is real froom where I'm sitting!!! Great to see you guys building together again!!! hell yeah!!
Check out my homemade cockpit
Pretty awesome!!! Wish they’re would’ve been more cockpit footage vs drone and ground footage. Loved it though. Future ideas!
Check out my homemade cockpit
13:44 - was that Tyler Durden?
I'm getting the ft mustang today!!!
Boy...you guys at Flite Test have come so far from 8 years ago when you just did airplane reviews! Your constant innovative ideas and creations are leading you to a seriously large developer of aircraft and and accessories.
i had no idea the spruce goose was still around. i thought it was destroyed or disappeared. very cool!
I would really like to see a part two, because this is super awesome.
You just motivated me, thanks for the tutorial and idea. Instead of having to wear VR and get in a driving set to play Forza Horizon, I think its better if i just put cameras in my Airbus and explore the real world while seating on my newly working RC driving seat. My friends and i even argue with who goes first lol
Check out my homemade cockpit
please revisit the SpaceX Starship :)
What’s that light in the background anyone know what it’s called you can see it at 0:12
Really cool. Next upgrades should be a goggle acceleromater that changes views if you turn your head. I noticed you were turning your head to look left and right (which of course doesn't work). But it would if you had multiple cameras on the plane. Also, next iteration should do a yoke instead of a stick. All in all, a good project.
Guys this is fantastic! I have been dreaming about doing this for sooooooo long! Wow! Love it!
The plumber in me is cringing you used pvc glue on cpvc pipe 😅
Zack Duda why are you so worried ? It’s a toy plane video you twat
Zack Duda, are you sure it wasn't a multipurpose glue that does it all. I've seen that on shelves now days.
Build a helicopter
Whenever you say cockpit my brother I'm tellin you said cock me I'm laughing
Toataly awesome guys ,you must feel so blessed having a job like you all have .
Ripe for another link up with Drone Champions Legue. I could imagine them wanting to bring racing and drone piloting to the next level.
this was released a minute ago and there is already 35 veiws
And now, 15 minutes from posting this video has 2,390 views! This channel rocks! It ROCKS!!
Patrons get early viewing!!
More views then my entire channel
Hey Josh where is Peter I'm not seeing him anymore..
The first word I saw on the title was “cockpit”
To replace the rudder feedback feel, you need a yaw string visible from the lens to detect the "straight" of straight'n'level" (see gliders' use of a yawstring). To achieve that means you may be better off designing a twin-engined or pusher airframe specifically for use with the chair, with the camera mounted on a plate between the engine booms, looking at the yawstring mounted on a boom, which - for a twin at least - should be mounted somewhat forward of the props to reduce it being affected by the props' tip vortices.
Keep making it please and maybe in the future sell those. I know many people that would love one of those if not only me
oof'
i just saw this

Is this how pilots finna fly planes in the future? wow! At least Ryanair pilots knew they would die if they crash landed. Now they can fly without their lives on the line. (This is a joke! I am not dissing Ryanair pilots.)
Imagine combining these with a 360 camera so you can actually turn your head for a better view :o
That would be so cool and adding a realistic cockpit in the plane
This brought a HUGE smile to my face. I would totally pay to experience this!
Link the two pedals with a strong rubber band, it will self center and give progressive resistance.
or link elastics to the center of the orange paracord to pull back the pedals towards the center.
Yeah thats a very important little tip.
A couple of ideas for y'all. (Disclaimer I have no knowledge of flight rc or piloting, but I have a very mechanical problem solving brain.) The feel of the throttle you were describing the vibrations you feel in a real plane. A second potentiometer mounted to the throttle that controls a vibration motor on the seat and possibly a second on the rudder pedals. The second you said the return to center on the pedals a magnet on the string and a magnet or piece of steel on the board under the milk crate. Love the channel and entertainment guys keep up the great work.
Great video!!! There are spring loaded screen door hinges that might help the rudder pedal feel.
