With just a few profile changes, it would be an awesome NASA Space Shuttle. Oh! Build a solid fuel rocket and build a remote control (or powered) shuttle glider!!
World's fastest r/c foam-built? How many rockets before it sheds 'too many feathers'? : )
How did you comment this video 1 hour early
@@Newkm4n UK here,what's your time zone?
I was thinking the same thing
Competition:
Solid booster lift off.
Release Glider
Guide glider with remote rudder.
Closest to the landing strip wins.
You know we all want to see a giant one now.
Tune in next week. ;)
The giant was SO cool with a prop drive, can you make another one with a prop?@@FliteTest
at certain angles it gives off Shuttle vibes
Nice variations Lads with MORE EDF models please!!! Great to see friends having fun building & flying! Blessings!
Dave's EDF got me hooked; my silver one has the EDF, and my son's prop version will be white like a Thunderbird.
They look like little Space Shuttles!
Yes!!! Now I See It!! 😂
Paint them all like the blue angels and do some formation flying!
Such a cool airplane. It flies much better than it looks like it should. It totally reminds me of the Judy Jetstream foam board DIY plane that I built years ago. It even looks like it. I want to try the EDF version! 😃
Connect 4 Retro Rockets in formation with carbon rods and fly as one model, 4 Thunderbirds at an air show!!!! Too cool
Thanks to Flite Test I have several homemade planes I designed from watching all their cool tips etc,, Best RC channel on YT imo 🔥
For edf thrust vectoring, it would be good to use four linear actuators or four servos attached after the edf perpendicular too each other, attached with strings, which control a flexible converging nozzle which is 3D printed out of PETG, a flexible material.
Awesome! Ordered mine last week, can't wait to get it flying!
Hope you enjoy it!
@@FliteTestDEAD CHANNEL 🤣🤣
I love to see you have t forgotten your grass roots and who doesn’t love a cool looking foamie…. Great stuff.
Looks like Japanese eggplane model kits. An SR-71 would be sick!
Need one of those in my life please send me one and I'll test it in uk lol😂😂I know there's absolutely no Chance of that happening.There are sick AF love your contents boys keep it up ❤
Thanks Will Do!!!
@@FliteTestHi I am a technician in a school in England. We have an 80W Chinese laser are you able to give me any advice about cutting foam board please? From my own experiments I am thinking hot and fast is best but I'm trying to reduce shrinkage of the foam core. I am also focussing the laser to the middle of the board. We are using this for architectural models mostly though we sometimes use it for prototyping other stuff. Thanks for any help you can offer. Thanks for the videos too 👍🇬🇧
Ps it's a CO2 laser not an RF one.
You guys should see if you can put floats on it! That would probably look awesome!😂
Super cool!
I love this design! And the fact that it flies so well is the icing on the cake. Great work, and I hope to see a lot of these at Flite Fest! Maybe even a giant one (hint, hint…).
Can’t wait! Yes! Hopefully will see a few giant ones by then
Add in a foam cowling for your EDF vectoring. Make multiple size foam cones shave the ends down and interlace them like stacking funnels.
Boost with rockets and recover on edf or folding prop wow what a design crack on boys
Are the wing fences obligatory for good flight characteristics? I didn't notice them in the prototype video, but now I check back, I think all versions have them.
[Edit : spelling]
Wonderful question, I like the way they looked and it flew great both with and without. I think it tracks a touch better with.
What a beautiful trio of stubby planes 🎉 bravo on your builds😊
Thanks brother
@@FliteTestDEAD CHANNEL GET FKD 😂😂😂😂
If you're open to taking future project suggestions, maybe a double jointed ornithopter? A little different that normal and would spice things up a bit on the channel (:
This is giving me MAJOR viggen vibes (ironic since it turns ten years old this year). Gonna have to pick up one for myself!
Looks so cool
A little tweaking you could do a space shuttle version...that's what they remind me of...
Can’t wait to start mine!
Those designs are pretty close to a chibi Space Shuttle.
Wow so cool! Definitely need more edfs in the future. Maybe a Park flyer F-18 or Master Series F-22? Those would both be cool
I want that!!!
cool stuff!!!
❤I love your videos
And we love you :-)
I can't wait for the F86 and Mig 15 EDF models to happen.
It almost looks like something I've seen before.....
Of course, it's the Bede 5!!! Build one of those from cardboard and you'll be the Burt Rutan of RC flight.
I wonder if you could set 4-5 of these up as a locked/tight 'formation', (like the Blue Angels). Perhaps MacGyvering that tech they use to make quadcopter formations etc. It would look so cool, I reckon...
These look fantastic! I have a crashed 70mm EDF jet running a 4S battery. (Reb70 I think) Could I use that motor & ESC in one of these?
Lets go a new video Nice job people
Very nice. But this year how about something for us soon-to-be 80yolds? I'd like a gentle flying "park size", kinda scale looking, bi-plane. Thank you very much. 😊
You got it! Something special is coming late February. ;)
@@FliteTest Wow! I don't want to wish my life away but now I can't wait till the end of February. 😊
I'd love to see some chubby models of real planes done in this style. Imagine how adorable a chubby F-4, or some warbirds would look with these proportions.
The Retro Rocket resembles a cartoonish F-4 Phantom!
Can you guys build the jas35 grippin
Kind of looks like a phantom jet that is cartoony!
Nice plane ✈ would be cool to see a rocket glider version like the Nasa space shuttle 🚀
Nice work guys
I got a question for you! Can you guys build a massive V-22 Osprey that I asked about? I really wanna see it. So please can you build one?
Those are pretty cool! Still waiting to see you guys make a Grumman Goose like your Widgeon. And when are you guys going to paint the real plane parked on the grass?
time going fast....last time i watch ff. he was young!
Where can I get the yellow front face plate that stefan has on his Radio??? That looks realy nice...
What is the slowest, stablest version of this build? I need this weird thing to take the edge off my Tiny Whoop addiction. And build one for my wife as well who said she’s bored. Also, can I FPV it?
I miss daved the Swedish guy that used to hang around with you lot
love you videos josh keep being awesome! :)
Love ya brother!
absolut great💯😎
I love your channel and the content.
Dude! Where is the slope version.
It looks so goofy in the air, I love it! Are you guys still hiring for the STEM Salesman position by the way? I really want to work with you guys!
We are. :)
You guys should make a An-225 with edf's
Is there a build video for the prop thrust vectoring ? I have the kit I just don’t know how to put it together.
I believe we had the upload issue with the last couple Bill Videos. They should be up in the morning :-).
The wing and the fuse videos are up and you can build those first. No changes are made to those portions for the thrust vectoring.
Happy building and thank you for your support!
I'll take the nitro powered one >:D
Looks like something off of the movie Flash Gordon.
you should make a giant fw190
LETS GO 🔥
Can y'all make a b-29 plezzzz
Anyone else think it'd pretty friggin cool to see these guys design and make an ornithopter? 👀
Kind of reminds me of an F 117
Without a doubt, the best channel on CZcams! Your videos are the best!
Love ya brother!
So Josh ordered my
Kit, just wondering if this can take a larger 4000mah 6s and still fly or does it have to be a 2200 on the edf setup? Thanks,
Very cool design, happy to support flite tests ventures!
Wonderful question. You can fly on a 4000 mA 6cell. The weight will obviously be a bit higher.
Great kind thanks 🙏 can you tell me what sort of flight times you’re currently getting on the 2200 6s edf setup?
Nice planes but.... get rid of the Buck Rodgers tail. Would like to see a Blue Angels twin tail.
You guys should make your pictures logo and see if you guys can make the logo on your channel fly
you should make a mighty mini ju87 stuck🙂
It's a Stubby F4 Phantom 😂
Where is the link for the Aura5 configurations?
It is on the store listing.
👍🏼👍🏼
EDF with thrust vector paddles just like the X-31 will look retro? Hmmm.....
I love your video and sorry I was late
Make a tiger 1 tank 😊😊😊😊😊
How much would it cost me for yall to build a huge p51 for garret from cleatus mcfarlane please lmk
1:1 rc Stits SA-2A Skybaby build?
They kinda look like an ME 263
You should make an ez retro rocket
very cool 🚀
All three of you guys flying in formation was pretty tight. Just saying. . .
What is your store coupon because I'm trying to buy a plane
Make a plane that can deploy gremlin drones
You know if you put on some skids/floats and moved the intakes up high on the fuselage, you'd have a Sea Dart... Err "Crick Dart."
czcams.com/video/SOrj2cSDO-M/video.htmlsi=ht9-P5fGvDxhb5CT
pleas make a AA
What if you make a life size plan out of Styrofoam
Hi Canal Flitetest, I'm from Brazil, I love your videos, I wanted to buy a model airplane in your store but I have a question,
Can you send a model airplane to Brazil?
please answer me if possible
I think we can. :)
thanks@@FliteTest
Aw the land of glacial soil deposits which is the American midwest
You know it! Every time I fly over this part of Ohio, you can see exactly where the glaciers ended. 15 minutes north and you have flat ground.
Make a mig 15
can you make an rc jet engine
chose wisely? or choose wisely?
great video tho
All handled :-).
Thanks brother
how many all the same modle can you put in the air at your next big outting... llololololololol
First
🤤 promo sm
Please please please sort out your UK distributors. I have just purchased two planes from you and paid more in postage and tax as nothing was in stock with your UK distributors
We’re working on it brother. Thank you for your support. It’s an uphill battle, but hopefully will get to the top soon.
