FliteTest you guys should do basket ball one plane drop the ball and another plane have the basketball net and try to make them swish
HI thank you for doing these videos i have been fan for years and you got me into the hobby thank you so much
Do you guys have an idea of when these will ship? I am flying to my parents house in Illinois from Oregon and this plane is exactly what I wanted to build during my week long visit to gift my dad(who killed my rc plane when i was a kid before I got to fly it) but I am going at the end of the month and don't want to ship this there if it won't be there while I am.
Я из России.
FliteTest I got 3 ads about people killing with drones
DROP A STACK OF RACE QUADS WITH PILOTS TO FLY THEM AWAY! FASTEST QUAD TO ITS DESIGNATED LANDING ZONE WINS!
Great way to start a Quad race
this is actually a brilliant idea
I want to do this now....
Just don’t drop the pilots
This has to be done. DRL is so boring at the moment.
You should release a battalion of army men each with there own parachutes. That way it looks like your being invaded
Yep. I came here to say pooper troopers. Figure out a way to send them out one at a time but really fast.
I vote for the army men.
When I was a kid we had army men about 5 inches tall, hollow plastic men, that had plastic parachutes on them. Be cool if they could find those and drop about a hundred of them,
@@JayAdams-ml5jf Omg I had one too.
Hmm, rig a static line and some form of spring to push them out the launch hatch.
You need to load up that melon bay with as many army figures with parachutes as possible!
yes please
Oh my god yes
GraphicMemesForDramaticPeople
*Or Humvees and M1 Tanks lol*
That would be great!!
YES
Since we know it'll fly with a 12 lb. load, do a bowling ball from 400 ft. See how deep it'll go.
yes
I think you should design BOMB SIGHT!
With fpv looking forward and down to pin point drop timing.
And have team competitions!
Yes!
I was thinking the same thing. FPV bomb sight
You'll need an altimeter to determine distance to target and some markings to drop at the correct time.
Obvious: Drop a plane out of the Skyvan and have that plane drop a small RC car or tiny whoop.
Or maybe drone !
They’ve already dropped an rc truck out of it. I think it was a red cat racing Everest gen 8. I could be wrong on which gen it was but they did drop an rc out of it. That was the original purpose for the plane.
@@jeff4992 Thank you, I must have missed that one. Awesome to watch even after all this time.
I propose a
"Bixler bomb sight"
Using a FPV camera.
rwehuman 3,2,1 Pickle!, oops I meant melon
i second this
100%
Yes. FPV bombsight
Instead of dropping stuff you could also try to land a drone in the plane mid flight.
That's really not a good idea
They did that already...
@@Schladdermann link to the video or it didn't happen.
@@Schladdermann they didn't
Large rc with massive wings for slow flight in the center of the wing there is a cut out about 1.5x the size of the drone drone lands in plane
Fpv camera for bombardier can see where he is dropping
Kyle, I was thinking the same thing. Cross hairs and everything. They could set up a whole course with targets.
Awesome idea then they can build a giant scale b17 or b29
Same idea
@@sinformant Yo with those big motors that would be sweet!
I was thinking the same thing!!
I think that little Cessna at 3:50 would be a great trainer for people because it’s small and simple to make
You want sketchy? Setup a burning drum and drop fuel filled balloons! 🎈🔥
You should drop a plane out of the plane. ✈️✈️
Yes rc out of rc
🏢🏢
DrewPenguin someone’s been playing ksp
That’s actually quite interesting.... having a plane drop out then fly with the cargo plane?
YESSSSS
Drop balloons full of paint at a target or balloons full of flour.
or just balloons with water over human targets?
MELON MURDERERS!!!
@@niki123489 Have you seen that crater? Realy bad idea.
Need a paratrooper drop on D-Day Anniversery . . . How many G.I. Joes fit in the Sky Van??
I agree with this mans suggestion.
Awesomesauce a c47 would be cool too but I’d just slap invasion stripes on this thing and make that video
@@TrashMutt yes yes yes
FPV bomb sight for bombardier! See how close can hit a bulls-eye with 20/10/5 foot rings. 300+ feet altitude.
You could install a GPS and get ground-speed as well as barometric altitude and feed it into something like an Arduino so that it could tilt the camera and calculate lead. It's a project I have wanted to attempt for a long time. I need to build a big plane first so it could actually carry something impressive. I will definitely post it to youtube if I can get something working.
this NEEDS to go VIRAL common algorithm.... you can do it!!
1) expose melon in bomb bay so that melon cam can see out prior to drop.
2) give bombardier FPV to melon cam
3) RC tail-fins on melon.
GUIDED MELON MUNITIONS!
ahhh....the fritz X guided bomb but instead its a watermelon
imagine if you made a separate FPV system like under the fuselage just for the bombardier! that would be so sick! please do it haha
great idea !
or a dozen soldiers with parachutes
Justin Lewis yes I was thinking the same thing. Spam the hell out of this comment #thishastohappen
With a crosshair
@@raphaelgawn2542 or just a plane load of Spam.
You guys should help Amazon with their automated grocery delivery service. Don't change a thing, blind drops from 400 feet is perfect.
Ooooooooof
Please drop a giant cube of jello! Love the channel. Keep up the good work.
An RC FPV GBU bomb. The FPV pilot guides it into the target.
They tried this a very long time ago. One of their funniest video :)
Yes!
@@thenerdyouknowabout Which video was that?
UPLOAD THE FULL 360 CLIP!
Uncut. Along with some of the other angles. All uncut/unedited raw footage!
Yes! Please! 😂😂😂😂😂
Yes
FT raw clips
Full clip!!!
“I don’t even think i’ve seen a plane so heavy”
All the commercial airliners : *Am I a joke to you*
Rc plane
You should make a fireplane and put out a fire with it😁
You guys should drop a bowling ball out of the plane!!!
Bowling ball na In the words of thunder quack from ducktales let's get dangerous for the fourth of July you guys should drop a fire craxker in the pond
It was a 12lb melon, they could do a 12lb bowling ball
You should make a giant flying aircraft carrier like the SHIELD Helicarrier you did but flying instead of hovering and then take off and land planes on it mid-air.
Very nice modification and execution on the Melon drop... Impact at 12:44 Looking forward to the next one guys.. #FLIGHTTEST #Customcrawlerz
"We can always run" Josh said
Josh:Safety is the number one concern
Oh my gosh! There’s finally a Cessna!!
Can’t wait to build it!
I CHALLENGE YOU GUYS!!!
Build a POPSICLE STICK PLANE!!!!
You can use any size popsicle stick and glue them together but you cannot cut them in any way, each stick has to be full sized.
And make sure propellers are also popsicle
Drop little fireworks that explode on impact, or maybe airsoft grenades?
Shades of the David Letterman Show.
Bowling ball.
done
Now go replace your divet!
Imagine flying the cargo plane over the neighbor’s house you don’t like..
And dropping melons on their roof 😂😂
Or horse manure, maybe not.
ZombieFreaks 02 no. Bowling balls
I just came across this channel. It's awesome! I had no idea RC plans could be built like this.
Do a collaboration with ( How Ridiculous ) all you guys should get creative and surprise us !
... Dude, that's legit a great idea.
Yes that'd be amazing. Do how ridiculous, dude perfect, and flight test colaberation the watermelon smashing air drop trick shot
timluns yes!!!!! Please!!!!!!!!!!!
Hah!! Just posted the exact same thing before I spotted this LOL!!
@megaJacobisawesome And they are well known for travelling all over the world. Have you ever actually watched any of their vids chucking stuff off of dams for example?
What was the footage from the 360 cam upon the crash like? Wanted to see it :/
You should make the watermelon/bomb guided. Put some steerable fins and an FPV camera on the nose. It would look like Desert storm.
Oh my god that friendship is sooo pure😂😂👍👍
Load that plane up with as much glitter as it will hold. Take it up to 400 and release. Other ideas would be hole punches, rolls of crepe paper, Toilet paper, eggs, golf balls, ping pong balls, etc.
Because glitter is essentially micro plastic and never goes away, gets into poor critters who don't need it clogging up their systems, it might be better to drop confetti - or what about a pillow's worth of feathers!
You guys should drop tickets during flite fest out of the sky van for a raffle or something like
You guys have the best way to make a living! Joy to the world!!!
Nerf whistle darts
They fix themselves in flight and you can drop them on one another without injury.
Plus you get that nice whistling effect from British WWII ordnance
Edward Hu I’m sure they could buy a huge pack of them from amazon. Imagine hundreds dropping down on a quiet day
@@carpenoctem3257 yes
Title dropping 1000 nerf darts from rccplane
Dropping some bags with different colors of powder would be awesome to see. Colorfull explosions that would be amazing😍. I'm also new to this channel but already love what you guys make!
drop a block of dry ice from the plane into the ground or in the pond.
Now that is a good idea! (And it will look cool when it's in the plane)
Absolutely brilliant guys, keep them coming. 👍🏼
I wanted to see the full 360 footage from drop to ground...
Richard Crouch I know they didn’t even show us
Me 2! I immediately came to the comments to see if I was the only one. It’s not possible that only part of the digitally recorded 360 footage survived the crash, is it? Maybe they updated the description with a link to it? I’m gonna go check....
I think you boys are cloud seeding all wrong. 🍉🛫
Nice pun
Drop a load of tomatoes
They will cover a large area on impact and the carnage should be red and spectacular!
12:33 that music adds a beautiful kind of dropping-drama to the watermelon scene lol
You guys have the best job ever, great footage .
Awesome!!!! Fpv camera under cargo bay to really “place” the mellon
Drop 100 Paper airplanes from the huge rc cargo plane!
cool 8-)
Spinning/bouncing bomb idea with water? Like dam busters historically
Great video! You guys should fill up the bomb bay with snap pops and drop them onto a parking lot!
Show the entire 360 drop footage. Very cool.
I want to see the full 360 video.Not just little snippets of it.
Lawn darts or bowling balls. GO!
I'll just leave that right there. 😉
They should make the helicarrier from Avengers, and have working fighter jets on top of it.
Zander Cochran they already did
Please build a b17 and drop firecrackers out of it
Btw love the videos :)
Yes! Yes! Please yes!
That would be great especially with some big powerful fireworks.
Drop a 360 camera out of a plane with a parachute
Nedyarb, that's 400$ brotha!
Yes
that would be cool to see the quads orbit it on the way down
And with a properly sized chute, the worst it will get are grass stains.
Rotor Ryan they stuck it in the watermelon, why not with a parachute
*12 pound meteor from 200 l feet leaves crater in ground*
Josh: we’ll fly it near the runway we can always run”
Steel tip lawn darts, parachute army men, tank, party poppers, gliders, Frisbee, boomerang, a drone, a live fish with a 360 on it.
Get a camera on the bottom of the plane or just inside that is self leveling and looking down. FPV bomb sight. Oh, and your gonna need a lot more watermelons.
You should drop like BB's or Darts on a baloon field!!
Lawn darts.
Please make more of this! It's incredible! Love your channel
You guys have done several things with toilet paper before...
But how about stuffing as many different coloured rolls into that cargo plane and dropping them all at once?
You can get cheap, one-coloured toilet paper with lots of different colours to choose from on Amazon, and I think that would look really cool.
Put FPV BOMBER CAMERA on the bottom of cargo plane
Drop lawn darts and try to dodge them... Sounds fun
What a build up on the second round !!!!, You're very serious with your stuff, great job, respect !.
This is so cool! You guys are really creative!
Hey guys you should do a rocket competition on who flies the highest
i launched a small rocket once. it was my first one and i didnt know how high it would go so i used the biggest motor i could put in it.
think it might be on the moon. my friends and i never saw it fall back to earth. looked like this live.staticflickr.com/6055/6244585063_5462973128_b.jpg
They/we are limited to 400' per FAA law.
@@rwehuman oops.
@@billydarley6925 haha, I have never seen it enforced or do I know anyone who has....
So traditionally 5 lps sacks of flour make excellent bombs
That. Was. BEAUTIFUL.
You guys are insanely good!!!!
I would like to see you drop a RC- M1 Abrams tank out the back with para shoots. or m2 Bradley fighting vehicle.
You should add fireworks/firecrackers to this!
You Guys always entertain!! Thanks.
Hell yeah, make it drop planes and quadcopters!
BOMB SIGHT for sure would make a dope video OR maybe attach a paintball gun have a dog fight hahaha
Can you guys make a foam board helicipter? Helicopter is very complicate machine but foam isn't. So it will be EPIC
Best video I have watched today!!! That melon bomb was awesome!
Best melondrama i've ever seen. Gosh that impact crater. I now know what happened to our Moon.
12:30 the last footage of Hiroshima bombing 1945 (colorized)
Drop cricket ball marrows/gem squash like 10 at once so it looks like a true bomber
you guys have the perfect job!!!!!!
you guys are awesome ...... with amazing plans .......
I want to see the 360 cam footage from drop to splat! Like / comment if you agree!
Drop some small drones. You need a downward camera sight with crosshairs
TACTICAL MELON INCOMING!!!!! 💥💥💥
When I retire from being a director of sales for a fortune 50 company, I want to do what you guys do. You guys have the perfect fun job !
You guys are AWESOME!! You guys got me interested in the hobby and so far I’m LOVING IT!!
Drop a flat of XL EGGS! Scatter bomb
OKAY......... IDEAS!!!!!!!!
-Drop Watermelon again but with little firecracker explosive in it where u can activate the explosion inside the watermelon at any time through out its fall (hopefully close to ground)
-Drop a guided bomb
-Drop guided bomb with a canter lope with explosive as the war head
-Make Fritz X guided bomb with rocket motor at the back
-Drop Water balloons
-Drop big Nerf whistle dart
-Have water ballon fight with teams, people on the ground fighting, then the bomber comes over and just water balloon carpet bombs them....
-Have a rocket with a water ballon warhead
-Make 2 teams with some sort of airdrop mission to drop a tank out the back with parachute to invade another teams territory (god we could do sooo much)
-Put tonnes of small rockets along a wing and send it all at once.
- PLay airsoft battle with A 10 strafing people (wear protective gear) and droping water melon on people HAha jokes
The Idea that this is what you guys do for a living is INSANE! I'm jealous!
When they put the Ruler into the Second Melon, I really wanted somebody to say "Shove it in"...
My life is sad.
Could yall make a F-16 eagle and drop foam missiles and bombs?
Shoot rockets you meant to say. Put a nail in the nose and shoot them at a barn or something.
You guys always rocket you know what to do you keep us entertained you keep us knowledgeable you guys help me get into fpv a long time ago great job once again.
Wow! I have been designing a cessna and now you guys bring one out! This is great I'll probably build this one.
